The charismatic German thanked the Sky Blues for extending their season and insisted Graham Arnold's side did well in trying circumstances
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has defended Sydney FC's performance in Wednesday's friendly, claiming that Sky Blues coach Graham Arnold only had a "second team" at his disposal.
Klopp's men triumphed 3-0 at ANZ Stadium in the end-of-season friendly, with Daniel Sturridge, Alberto Moreno and Roberto Firmino all scoring before half-time.
With Bernie Ibini and Filip Holosko having already left the club and Milos Ninkovic, Jordy Buijs and Milos Dimitrijevic unavailable, Arnold started with eight players that also began the A-League grand final a fortnight ago.
