Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian, who was a free agent nine days ago, says his decisive penalty shootout save in their Uefa Super Cup victory over Chelsea capped off a 'crazy week'.
"He's loud in the dressing room already," the German said."I don't think he's won a lot in his life so it's good for him to win it. He made some unbelievable saves, both keepers did, so I'm really happy for him."The game finished 2-2 in 120 minutes after Abraham won a controversial penalty in the 101st minute - Adrian appearing to get the slightest touch to the striker's knee.
But the Liverpool keeper made up for any involvement in the decision - which was checked by VAR before Jorginho slotted it past Adrian - by becoming the shootout hero."I said before the game that anything can happen in a final and in the end the penalties decided the game," Van Dijk told BT Sport. "I told Adrian before the penalties he could be the hero - he did it so I'm happy for him and for the club."
