Reds’ icon goes to Red BullFormer Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp praised a guy who stood between the sticks for his team in the victorious League Cup final against Chelsea.”To be honest, for me Caoimhin Kelleher is the best No. 2 goalie in the world… The game he played tonight was absolutely incredible. I can remember at least two incredible saves, and probably there were more.”So he proved that the decision to line him up was absolutely right. And then, in a very spectacular penalty shootout, he showed the whole range of his skill set. He finished one off with his really skilled feet. So top class.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8401481####EDITORS_CHOICE##However, Kelleher himself renounced Klopp’s label talking to talkSPORT this week.”It’s not a title I want. I want to be playing week in, week out,” he said. “At the moment, the situation for me is I’ll get these opportunities and I need to do well when I get these opportunities and play well, so that is my main focus obviously. Just when I do get that chance, play well.”It is important I play week in, week out now and get that No.1 position. I have to show everyone I am capable and good enough to play week in, week out. I feel I have the quality to play well when needed; even if that means I’m not playing a game in a few weeks, I can come in and still show my quality, so that’s the most important part – to be ready when called upon,” concluded Kelleher.
