Klopp Describes Origi As A ‘Legend’ After Wolves Winner
Jurgen Klopp described Divock Origi as a Liverpool legend after the Belgium international climbed off the bench to score the winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Origi added to his catalogue of important Liverpool strikes with a 90th minute winner against Bruno Lage’s men at the Molineux stadium to lift the Reds above Chelsea into second on the table.
The 26-year-old’s latest strike was his 10th as a substitute in the Premier League, making him the most prolific substitute for Liverpool in the competition.
"Divock Origi, the legend, finished it off and it's a great story. He's an incredible striker. For different reasons he did not play that often, but I hope one day he finds a manager that plays him more than I do,” Klopp told Sky Sports after the game.
"He's one of the best finishers I've ever seen in my life. In this great team, with our [front] three, he doesn't play all the time, but he is a very positive boy, loves the club, wants to contribute, and he did in an incredible way."
Origi added on his winner: "I try to be in the moment, play by play. Play in the moment. Sometimes you score goals like this and today was a good day!
"We worked so hard to get the three points and being able to get there and keep the momentum going is the best feeling.
"We prepare so much. Honestly, it's the feeling that we had a successful week."
