OPINIE Klopp has a problem »Andrei Niculescu analyzes what has changed in Liverpool compared to last season

The English journalists both waited and immediately contacted Leo Di Caprio's presence at the VIP pavilion at the Parc des Princes. Naughty, I would say. Mr Jurgen thwarted Verratti, but for other reasons, set the opposite way. He is somewhere right. Klopp is angry against the best men in Paris during Wednesday night's game. But he does not say anything if he is angry at his players. Or he's angry at himself.

Maybe they should. At least a little. sure Neymar we all know it, so it's like that. But let's look at his performance: 83 touches (most), 6 faults received (most), 4 shots (most), 3 shots on the door of Alisson (most), two goals scored (most) , a goal scored. I think that's what should upset Klopp.

Neymar made his most serious match since he was wearing the Paris shirt (by analyzing who he was) and this helped the French champion not only to win, but also to have a solid performance such that you have to win European trophies. Outside the first half-hour, which was a real hurricane at the English gate, PSG has not played football as aesthetically as possible, but who says that an aesthetic football always translates by noticeable errors. This is a very rare situation in football today, the science of mastering the details is more important and the ability to agglutinate the moments of suffering in less than 90 minutes is crucial. Thomas Tuchel is the first coach from Paris who managed to make this clear to the players.

in Champions League opponents are not like those of League 1there are moments (and not just a few) where you have to defend yourself with an excessively shiny and time consuming theater. Ask Zidane how many episodes like this have had his Madrid in the three winning campaigns of the Champions League! I do not know what PSG will do this season, nobody knows, but the match with Liverpool is the first sign that he has become a serious team, able to control his nerves and dominate the details.

Jurgen Klopp has a problem. And not a little. His team is not the same as last season. The triple attack, so boastful and productive, seems to have forgotten to score. Especially in the matches outside, this is noticeable, which is not correct. However, in the league, three matches of "Anfield", Liverpool scored a goal, without penalty, and the stitches on the portal correspond to the fingers of the hand.

Last season, Klopp's band offered passionate and passionate heavy metal, sometimes aesthetic, sometimes messy. A controlled disorder, however, a tactical entropy is more of a trap for the opponent than a reality. It was a bit lost, paradoxically because of the summer, because Liverpool today has a lot better than the one with which it reached the final of the League. But not so good football, even if the first season of the European season, 3-2 with PSG, offered only reasons for optimism.

Since then, the team has become a little paid, predictable, lacking this dose of inventiveness, freedom, I would say, the "Klopp". Concerned about this favorite status, they were greeted after the Kiev final and after the tumultuous summer of the transfer window, The cormorants on the field and the cormorant leader on the bench have forgotten the football that made them stand out. On the idea that the title in England is the main goal now, and that the Champions League was second, I would not go too far. It looks like an alibi. And the Europa League, with its Thursday confrontations, will not help Liverpool in the Premier League weekly.

Liverpool is nothing lost. On the contrary. 1-0 with Napoli is perfectly possible, but Napoli is no longer a rival and Ancelotti is well aware of the race. This is the game that can give Klopp a starting point. He's an excellent motivator, a good strategist and "Anfield" is more than solid. For Liverpool, this decisive match can provide answers. But I do not know if the Europa League is one of them, not even to win it.
