00:00Liverpool bounced back from their defeat to Manchester City with an emphatic 6-3 victory over Lask in the Champions
00:07League.
00:08Bradley Barcola stole the headlines with a hat-trick, scoring his first goals for the club after a difficult start
00:15following his big-money move from Paris Saint-Germain.
00:20Ronald Arujo also opened his Liverpool account, while Jeremy Frimpong and Luis Kumas added further goals.
00:27However, conceding three times after building a commanding lead will concern head coach Andoni Ereola.
00:35The result gives Liverpool back-to-back Champions League wins, providing a timely boost ahead of their return to Premier
00:42League action after their loss to Manchester City.
00:46Here is what Andoni Ereola had to say after the game.
00:52I'm really happy for Bradley because, as you say, you were asking me yesterday about him not making the numbers,
01:00also Florian.
01:01And I think both of them today played really, really well.
01:04I think they made a difference.
01:06Bradley, apart from the hat-trick, I think he was a threat, always 1v1, threatening him behind.
01:11And also helped us a lot to control the game, finding the pockets, and I'm happy for both of them,
01:19yes.
01:19And what difference can it make to both players?
01:22I think for their confidence, for sure, it's very good.
01:25I think they feel that we trust them a lot, but at the end to enjoy a little bit, you
01:31know, in playing in the Champions League, away, I think it's going to be very good, very good for them,
01:37yes.
01:37And overall, you made a number of changes to your team.
01:40You must be happy with the way they responded.
01:42Certainly somebody like Trey Agnone in midfield, making his first start in the Champions League.
01:46Yes, I said before, no, I think Trey, Kumas, maybe Rio is already, has played more, has even played with
01:56the national team.
01:56But still, academy players, very young, for the two, I think is the first start in the Champions League.
02:05And they are first team players for us, and they are first team players because we trust them, and we
02:10think they can give us the level to help during the season.
02:13And I'm very happy for their performances, even Kumas, because he has scored two disallowed goals before, and you were
02:19thinking, okay, after the hard work has put a good game, and probably he doesn't score.
02:23But I was really pleased for him to score the goal, celebrate with the supporters, enjoy a little bit, no,
02:29your first Champions League goal, and happy for all of them, yes.
02:33And I think in a very compact block, it's not easy, you know, when they play a back five, you
02:39know, a lot of spaces in between.
02:41I think we found very good spaces in the pockets, spaces in behind, with the three players up front, and
02:48obviously second half, probably it was more about exploiting the spaces.
02:54But I think offensively has been a very complete, complete game, yes.
02:57I think offensively has been a very good game, yes.
