In recent times, Liverpool's condition is pretty good. Although they lost 2 points in the previous league match with Brentford, they performed quite well in the subsequent match against Manchester City and took the lead twice in the match. Fabinho_ span2span also missed a lore at the last moment. In the Premier League standings, Liverpool scored 4 wins and 3 draws in 7 games, ranking second with 15 points, 1 point behind Chelsea. In addition, in the Champions League, they also ranked first in the group with two consecutive victories. If you consider that compared to Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and other competitors in the previous transfer window for a number of large-scale signings, Liverpool only signed Connet one player, then Klopp's team can get The current results are even more commendable.
Judging from the team's offensive and defensive performance, it is not accidental that Liverpool can rank in the current position. On the offensive end, Liverpool scored 17 goals in the league, the most goals scored by any team in the league. The new striker tridents Salah, Mane and Jota are all fast Entered the state, Salah scored 6 goals, tied with Vardy in the Premier League scorer list, he is still one of the most powerful contenders for this season's league Golden Boot Award . In addition, Salah also scored 3 goals in 2 Champions League games. Mane scored 4 goals. Although the shooting efficiency is still not ideal, Mane is still worthy of Klopp at the critical moment. Jota replaced Firmino as the starter at the center position this season. Although physical fitness is average, Jota has excellent passing and scoring ability on the front line.This gave him a good "chemical reaction" with Salah and Mane.
On the defensive end, Liverpool's performance is equally good. They have conceded 6 goals in 7 league games and averaged less than 1 goal per game. Compared with the situation where the team was full of injuries on the defense line last season, all of Liverpool's defense players have returned from injuries this season. In the case of complete personnel, Liverpool's defensive quality has also been significantly improved. Especially Van Dyke and Matip's central defender partner showed a very stable state, their average rating of more than 7 points per game, ranked among the best of all central defenders in the league. In addition, the two full-backs Arnold and Robertson also continued their excellent status. Among them, Arnold sent 2 assists in 6 league games and the Champions League, and Robertson also contributed 1 assist. Under the outstanding performance of the above players, Liverpool has also become the only undefeated team among all teams in the Premier League this season. Moreover, in the long season, relative to the offensive end, a solid defense is the biggest guarantee for the championship.
In addition to the forward and back lines, the midfield position is a relatively weak position for Liverpool. Especially after the loss of Wijnaldum this season, Liverpool has been greatly affected in the transition of offensive and defensive midfield. Among the existing players in Liverpool's midfield, their characteristics are relatively single. The only Thiago with excellent passing ability on the offensive end has been unable to integrate into Klopp's tactical system, and injury problems have been affecting his attendance rate. In this situation, Liverpool need to find a player with both offensive and defensive capabilities in the midfield to assume the responsibility of connecting the back line and the forward line. This season,Barça’s 17-year-old player Garvey has shown outstanding abilities and potential. Garvey has not only become the main rotation player for Barcelona, he has also been selected for the Spanish national team and has played very well. From the point of view of technical characteristics, Garvey's technique is very delicate, he has a strong ability to control the ball in the midfield, and he also has excellent passing ability and passing vision. More importantly, on the defensive end, Garvey has spared no effort to cover a very large area, and he has the courage to engage in physical confrontations with the opponent's offensive players.
Such outstanding players naturally attracted the attention of a large number of teams, including Liverpool. In Klopp's tactical system that pursues speed and quick pass and cut cooperation, Garvey's technical characteristics will be very suitable. According to ElNacional, although Garvey’s contract has a termination fee of up to £42 million, Liverpool is still very interested in signing this talented midfielder. In addition to Liverpool, Manchester United also intends to sign Garvey. However, Barcelona is actively preparing for renewal negotiations with Garvey, hoping to increase his salary and further increase the amount of liquidated damages.
Compared with Barcelona's desire to fully promote the contract extension with Garvey, Barcelona's attitude is completely opposite to players such as Umtiti . Since the previous transfer period, Barcelona has always wanted to clear Umtiti from the team, but the latter has refused to leave. This season, Umtiti did not get any chances in the league and the Champions League. According to Western media Diario Gol, Barcelona has lost the last bit of patience with Umtiti, and both parties intend to terminate the contract early. It is reported that AC Milan may lose Romano, whose contract is about to expire. If Umtiti becomes a free agent, they intend to sign him as a replacement.
