KOEMAN DELIGHTED WITH VICTORY
Ronald Koeman couldn't hide his delight after seeing his Benfica side beat Liverpool 1-0 in Lisbon, but admitted the tie is far from over with the second leg looming in a fortnight's time at Anfield.
Benfica's Dutch coach admitted the game was far from a classic encounter but felt his team deserved their 1-0 victory on the night.
"It wasn't a fantastic game but it was a fantastic occasion for Benfica," enthused Koeman.
"We didn't play well in the first half but we attacked more in the second half.
"It was difficult for us and difficult for Liverpool. It was mainly defending and a lot of pressure in midfield, which meant there wasn't a lot of space for individual players on either side.
"It's a very good result, because if we score in Liverpool they have to score three times.
"We needed only one goal and we deserved what we got. Liverpool defended very well and it was not easy to create anything. The mid-field players had a lot of problems creating chances against such good defence.
"They will attack more at Anfield but their way of play is always similar. In the second leg Steven Gerrard will play from the start.
"It was their first defeat in the Champions League proper this season and Liverpool have played Chelsea twice and not lost.
"But we have now beaten them as well as Manchester United, it shows we are also a good side." |
