[Saba Sports News] In the second round of the Europa
League group stage, Liverpool are set to face St. Gilloise at home. Before the
match, St. Gilloise coach Blessing took the opportunity to make a playful
comment about Liverpool defender Joel Matip in an interview with the media.
Following Liverpool’s 1-2 away defeat to Tottenham in the previous Premier
League match, during which Matip scored an own goal in the final stages, Blessing
remarked, “We are already looking ahead to the game against Liverpool. It
will be a different challenge facing excellent players like Joel Matip and
Ibrahima Konate. Maybe Matip will score another own goal like he did over the
weekend, and then we might have a chance. Why not?” It remains to be seen
how Matip will respond in the upcoming game.
