WIGAN, England -- Jurgen Klopp said that new arrival Mohamed Salah had "no idea" how Liverpool defend in his first outing for the club since his summer move from Roma.
Salah, 25, scored the equaliser for Liverpool just before half-time to cancel out Alex Gilbey's opener at the DW Stadium in a match that finished 1-1.
And after the game Klopp admitted they had thrown the new arrival into the deep end and it showed with how he defended during his 45 minutes on the field.
"He had absolutely no idea how we defend usually, so he was not really involved in this and was like 'oh my god.'
"He was two days with us, then had to go to Paris to get the papers, then he came back and we thought 'let's play.'
"But you could tell he is used to a completely different way of defending. Of course, first situation, nice sprint and then the goal was maybe the most easiest thing in the game, but they played wonderful football."
Klopp was also asked on the status of any further incomings to the club, but said he was not willing to discuss potential signings.
German newspaper Bild reported on Thursday that RB Leipzig had rejected Liverpool's €65 million offer for midfielder Naby Keita.
"If whatever I say here would change anything in a positive way then I would say it. But I have no influence," Klopp added. "I don't know, speak to the wall. It's not important what I say, it's only important what we do.
"We try to do the job how you can imagine and we feel in a good way."
