We were better team in the second half: Wijnaldum after 1-1 draw against Napoli

Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum

Liverpool [UK], Nov 28 (ANI): Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum feels that his club was a better team in the second half during their clash against Napoli.
Liverpool witnessed a 1-1 draw against Napoli in Champions League on Thursday. Dejan Lovren had scored an equaliser for Liverpool in the 65th minute but the club failed to score another goal.
"We started well in the second half, we were the better team in the second half but it didn't result in a lot of chances, or a lot of big chances and that's something we have to work on, in circumstances like this to still create chances," the club's official website quoted Wijnaldum as saying.
Wijnaldum said that Liverpool fought till the end and is happy with Lovren's strike.
"We tried to fight until the end of the game and that's what we did. We were happy that we could score the equaliser. Now we have to finish it against Salzburg," he said.
The club will now compete against Salzburg and need to avoid a defeat in order to secure passage to get into the knockout stages of the competition.
Wijnaldum stated that they will have to give everything during the match against Salzburg.
"In this case, you mustn't be too comfortable because we know how good Salzburg can be. We know how good we can be if we are concentrated and give 100 per cent. Every game is different," Wijnaldum said.
"What we have to do is give everything and try to make the best of it. Hopefully, we'll get a good result there," he added. (ANI)

India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match. Despite the hosts winning the test to level the series at 1-1 on Tuesday, India skipper Virat Kohli alleged the tourists had indulged in the practice throughout the match, sparking a war of words in the media and a robust response from Australia. The boards released a joint statement on Friday saying the chief executives of both bodies had met in Mumbai on Thursday and agreed to try and bring the focus "back to the game" ahead of next week's third test in Ranchi. "India has always cherished a c...
