Comain expressed his respect for Borussia Dortmund at the press conference after the first game of the Champions League group stage.
"As everyone can see, Dortmund is a young team. Although they lost to us in their first game back in the Champions League seven years later, they showed the world their potential. Sometimes I'm worried that Liverpool will lose their youthful passion and the fighting spirit of their youth. Dortmund is worth learning from, reminding us that the football field is the starting point of everything. Dortmund has great potential for improvement. They have injected fresh blood into the European football scene and will definitely make the competition more intense. I look forward to the next game. "
Klopp also expressed his admiration for Liverpool.
"Liverpool is worthy of being the Champions League champions. They have dominated for two years in a row. In front of Liverpool, Dortmund is like an immature teenager. We made a lot of mistakes in the game. This has nothing to do with the players individually. It's the team's mistake as a whole. We still need to accumulate experience and play more against the European powerhouses. To be honest, it's one thing to be successful in German football, but it's another thing to be successful in the European arena.
Although we lost, it was a good game. It will make my players realize their own shortcomings. Our whole team needs to reflect and summarize to draw on the positive help brought by this game. "

On the second night after Liverpool returned to the United Kingdom, Channel 4 exposed the previously hyped drug test controversy.
The former Birmingham City striker, Gary O 'Connor, failed the Football Association's drug test due to the use of cocaine.
The 28-year-old O 'Connor was arrested in Edinburgh four months ago on suspicion of possession of cocaine.
In October 2009, O 'Connor was suspended for two months by the Football Association after he was found to have taken cocaine. However, O' Connor claimed that he had a hip injury. Both the Football Association and the Birmingham City club kept the secret.
The matter was not exposed publicly before he was loaned to Barnsley.
In January 2011, O 'Connor transferred from Birmingham City to Barnsley and signed a short-term contract with Barnsley until the end of last season. However, after only scoring one goal in 13 games for the team, both sides agreed to terminate the contract in April.
Barnsley's general manager, Dan Rowling, complained that Birmingham did not reveal the true details of O 'Connor's absence. "If we had known about this, we would not have signed him. But we did not know. No one told us anything. "
This summer, O 'Connor returned to his hometown team, his former club, Hibernian, and signed a one-year contract with the team.
The programme claimed that there was enough evidence to show that since 2003, there had been 21 cases of positive drug tests, including the striker Elvis Hammond, who had been suspended for half a year after failing a drug test during his time at Fulham.
In 2006, West Ham eliminated Middlesbrough in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Shaun Newton failed a drug test and was suspended for seven months.
It was reported that three former England national footballers also tested positive for steroids in a drug test in September 2007, including a striker.
Although the program claimed to know the identity of the player, his name could not be revealed for the time being due to legal reasons.
The outside world questioned the Football Association's refusal to disclose the names of the players who tested positive for drugs and suspected that they condoned these drug addicts. However, the Football Association firmly denied this.
"The Football Association fully supports the anti-doping program. The reason why the names of the players who failed the drug test are not released is because it is within the scope of the player's privacy."
The Football Association's spokesperson used the law as an excuse to shirk all responsibility in an interview the next day.
It was supposed to be a settled storm, but because the Football Association did not release the names of the other players who failed the drug test, it still gave the outside world room for imagination.
Before the weekend's league game, Qin Xiong was still surrounded by reporters when he drove away from the Melwood Training Ground.
In the face of the reporters' roundabout questions about whether Qin Xiong was suspected of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Qin Xiong snorted at them impatiently and said, "The * * * * Sun said that a top star player failed the drug test. Sorry, I don't know which top star player was announced. The Sun said that dozens of star players were on the list. Then what? Who is it? Can you stop bothering me? What a laughable farce! If I took performance-enhancing drugs, I would score a hundred goals in a season! "
The reporters on Fleet Street were just trying to get information from Qin Xiong. Even if Qin Xiong was a little flustered, they could speculate that he had a guilty conscience.
However, Qin Xiong's self-righteous attitude made them feel helpless.
They could only write in the news: Qin Xiong said that if he took performance-enhancing drugs, he would score a hundred goals in a season!
The fifth round of the Premier League on the weekend arrived as scheduled.
There was a phenomenon in the new season of the Premier League that made the fans' blood boil: the frequent big score games!
In the first four rounds, except for the two 4: 0 games in the first round, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City were able to create a big score of at least five goals or more in the next three rounds.
In the fifth round, the crazy momentum still showed no signs of stopping.
The first game to start was Blackburn Rovers' home game against Arsenal!
After a fierce 90-minute battle, Arsenal lost to Blackburn Rovers with a score of 3: 4!
Although Gervinho and Arteta each scored their first goals since joining Arsenal, Alexander Song and Koscielny's own goal made the game go in a strange direction.
In the end, Arsenal lost the game despite leading their opponents twice.
They only got four points in the first five rounds. The last time such a bleak scene happened was 29 years ago!
An even more strange game happened at Old Trafford.
In this round, the Red Devils faced Chelsea.
Chris Smalling scored his first Premier League goal for the Red Devils. The replay of the goal showed that Smalling was offside.
Nani's goal widened the lead for Manchester United, but the replay showed that Nani received the ball in an offside position. He was still offside.
Only Rooney's goal at the end of the first half was not a problem, but the score had become 3: 0.
Chelsea had nowhere to redress his grievances!
In the second half, Torres scored his first goal in the last ten games of the Premier League, helping Chelsea to get a goal back.
In the 57th minute of the game, Manchester United was awarded a penalty. Rooney kicked the ball away …
In the 83rd minute, Ramires passed a straight pass. Torres bypassed De Gea and shot at the empty goal from a wide angle, but the shot missed!
In the 91st minute, Rooney, who was successfully offside, broke into the left side of the penalty area and faced a selfless cross pass. Berbatov's shot at the empty goal was saved by Ashley Cole in front of the goal line!
A strange match had come to an end.
The Red Devils defeated Chelsea in their home game with a score of 3: 1!
Villas-Boas' chest and stomach were probably overturned, but he held back a mouthful of blood.
