GENK coach Felice Mazzu reckons Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could have discovered the blueprint to stop Liverpool.
The Belgian side drew 0-0 with Napoli in their previous Champions League game after being thrashed 6-2 by Salzburg in their first match.
But Mazzu was impressed with Solskjaer’s three-man central defence at Old Trafford on Sunday as Manchester United grabbed a 1-1 draw against the Premier League leaders.
The Belgian manager said: “The system of Manchester United, by playing with that defence against Liverpool, was a good thing for them and it was also a good point. So yes, we have lots of options and we will look at that.
“I think when a team like Liverpool takes 25 points from 27, then you must say they are one of the best teams in Europe, perhaps the best.”
Mazzu hopes his team can deliver another improved defensive performance after the clean sheet with Carlo Ancelotti’s Italians following their disaster to Salzburg.
He added: “The most important advice to my team is to believe in what we did against Napoli.
“We proved against Napoli that anything is possible in football – so we must go on the pitch with a lot of desire.”
Tanzanian striker Ally Samatta, who has scored six times this season, said: “When I was a kid, I was a Manchester United fan, so it is a dream to play this type of game.”
