At the end of the 2019-20 season, the Premier League BIG6 is hiring aggressively in the transfer market, because they all know that in the highly competitive Premier League, in order to maintain sustained competitiveness, they must continue to sign up and strengthen the lineup.
Liverpool won their first league championship in the history of the Premier League by a huge advantage, but they were unable to create a dynasty era because of their thin lineup. Looking back at the 2019-20 season, Liverpool had an early ride in the Premier League, but in the Champions League, as the defending champion, it was beaten by Atletico Madrid, which is not at the championship level. If the depth of the bench is not strengthened in key positions, it will be extremely difficult for the Premier League to regain lost ground in the Champions League in the 2020-21 season.
In February and March 2020, in less than one month, Liverpool were eliminated in the FA Cup and the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Champions League one after another, and the Premier League season was ended unbeaten. The problem was exposed: If the "Red Arrows" are in a downturn at the same time, who will bear the responsibility of the team's goal?
Before the introduction of Jota, it was German center Werner who had been rumored to have continued with Liverpool. Werner, born on March 6, 1996, can be described as Germany's strongest active center. In the 2016-17 season, Werner represented Leipzig in the Bundesliga with 21 goals and 5 assists, ranking fourth in the Bundesliga scorer list. In the 2017-18 season, Werner's Bundesliga statistics were 13 goals and 7 assists. Although the German team came home from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Werner is already the number one center under Loew. In the 2018-19 season, Werner scored 16 goals and 7 assists in the Bundesliga. In the 2019-20 season, Werner scored 28 goals and 8 assists in the Bundesliga, ranking second in the Bundesliga scorer list.
Werner serves as a center and can also be a winger. On paper, he should be a powerful supplement to Liverpool's "Red Arrows". But in the end, Liverpool did not take substantial action, Werner joined Chelsea. Some people say that Liverpool's budget is tight. Chelsea introduced Werner and paid a transfer fee of 53 million euros. This amount is actually not too much pressure for Liverpool.
Liverpool brought in Portuguese striker Jota from the Wolves. The transfer fee is 41 million pounds. The basic transfer fee + 4 million pounds floating.Converted into euros, the total transfer fee has reached 51.5 million euros, which is almost the same as Werner's transfer fee.
Some people also said that Liverpool did not choose Werner because of Klopp's tactical considerations. This may make sense.
In the third round of the 2020-21 Premier League season, Liverpool played at home against Arsenal. Jota came off the bench to complete his debut after joining Liverpool at the last minute. He scored in the 88th minute and helped Liverpool beat Arsenal 3:1 . In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group match, Liverpool scored a total of 5 goals in 9 Premier League games for Liverpool before the 1:1 draw with China and Jutland.
Under Lampard, Werner is the absolute main force of Chelsea strikers, but in the 5th round of the Premier League, Chelsea's home game tied with Southampton 3:3, and Werner scored twice for the first time in the Premier League. . In the 8th round, Chelsea beat Sheffield United 4-1 at home and Werner scored a goal. Since then, Werner fell into a long-term ball shortage in the Premier League. Chelsea also went from being expected to climb to the top for a long time outside the top four, which also led to the dismissal of the young coach Frank Lampard.
After Tuchel succeeded, Chelsea's record began to rebound strongly. In the 24th round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-0 at home and rose to fourth in the Premier League standings, pushing Liverpool to sixth. Werner, who scored a goal, also broke his 14 Premier League game without goals.
So far this season, Werner has scored 5 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League. The number of goals involved is the most in the Chelsea team. Would it be better if Werner was in the Klopp formation?
