Kenny salutes debut boys
Kenny Dalglish was quick to praise debutants Charlie Adam and Conor Coady after they both impressed in the 4-3 win over Guangdong Sunray Cave.
The duo came on as second-half substitutes and each gave a good account of themselves, with 18-year-old Coady capping a dream night by adding the Reds' third strike of the contest.
Christian Poulsen, David Ngog and Andy Carroll were the other goalscorers, leaving Dalglish more than satisfied with the first run-out of pre-season.
The boss told his post-match press conference: "It was good to see Conor Coady score his first goal and for Charlie (Adam) to make his debut. To score four goals is obviously a bonus but it's only our first game and there's lots of work still to do."
He added: "It was a really good work out for us in very difficult conditions. We were disappointed to concede the goals at the end of both halves, but the main thing is that the lads got a run out and it's good that they all played 45 minutes without picking up any injuries."
Coady nets a superb debut strike
The match concludes a hugely successful three day trip to China for Dalglish's men and the boss was eager to pay tribute to the incredible support they have received throughout their stay.
"We've had a fantastic reception in China," he added. "It's nice to come here and let fans get closer to Liverpool Football Club.
"It's important to keep doing it in the future because you could see tonight how much it meant to everyone in the stadium. The support was fantastic. Now we are looking forward to seeing the welcome we get when we arrive in Malaysia in the early hours."
