Jurgen Klopp explains tactical change he made to stop Neymar

Liverpool laid down a marker to their European rivals as they produced a thrilling victory over Paris Saint- Germain (3-2). The Red’s boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed the tactical change he made to stop Neymar. "It was really important that we started the game like we started the game," said Klopp, referring to goals by Daniel Sturridge and James Milner which gave Liverpool a 2-0 lead. "They are so strong and so good with the ball. "We changed the system because we expected a change from them. Neymar on the left wing and [Angel] Di Maria in the half space, so made defending a bit difficult "We needed all our focus. We did really well. We covered a lot of yards and closed gaps. "When we had the ball we used the right wing. Neymar is a world class player, but not defender so we tried to do that." The tweak in tactics ultimately worked with Liverpool off to a perfect start in Group C.
