After the unnecessary tension surrounding the VAR issue in the loss to Tottenham, Liverpool is in need of a place to relieve strеss. Ideally, Union Saint-Gilloise could become a target for Jurgen Klopp and his team to find balance.
No one feels happy when they have to accept defeat, even a defeat in the cruelest and bitterest way like what Liverpool experienced at Tottenham Stadium last Saturday night. On the other hand, from a more positive perspective, everyone is seeing the figҺting spirit of a candidate to win the Premier League.
Light from a loss at Tottenham
It is shown through the statements of each individual Liverpool. Rookie Alexis Mac Allister confidently wrote: “Together against everything.” Darwin Nunez wrote similar words: “We are united in the face of everything.” That is an indication that the spirit of the red-shirted team did not collapse after Liverpool conceded a goal in the 6th minute of ιnjury time after an own goal, a consequence of the exhaustion of a team that had had to figҺt not only because of the “oh my god” loss of goal, but also because of the two red cards of Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota.
The figҺting fire is something Liverpool and its fans have lost somewhere since losing to Real Madrid in last year’s Champions League final. That form of fire is returning with energy from rookies like Mac Allister or Szoboszlai in the last summer transfer window. Coach Jurgen Klopp feels that and considers this the biggest positive point in his eyes from the recent loss to Tottenham. The German strategist himself also deserves praise for the way he courageously put his faith in a completely renewed midfield this season. In addition to Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, Coach Klopp seeks to give opportunities to express themselves to names like Wataru Endo or Ryan Gravenberch. These two names still need time to get used to the pressure and great expectations at Anfield.
Liverpool also showed that they have no attitude of compromising with wrong. The fact that the team’s leadership refused the apology from the British Professional Referees Association (PGMOL) gives the image of a team that is not afraid to put pressure on things that are disadvantageous to them. That is what created the shape of a glorious team like MU did under the Sir Alex Ferguson era. When he was in office, the Scottish military leader was famous for putting pressure on the referee many times, and was ready to use direct words if he saw injustice towards the home team at Old Trafford. In the case of Liverpool, they once expressed a similar attitude when assistant Constantine Hatzidakis behaved inappropriately with defender Andy Robertson last season.
Come on, let’s relieve strеss in the Europa League!
The story at Tottenham Stadium last weekend will soon fade, but coach Klopp and his students really need a place to relieve strеss and relieve their endurance, which has reached its limit over the weekend. The Europa League, an arena that is clearly less harsh than the Premier League, offers an ideal opportunity. Winning LASK in the opening match helps the Anfield team easily calculate in a group where Klopp and his team are expected to win tickets to the next round, even early, regardless of the German coach’s choice of squad. for tonight’s match.
If you look at what Klopp and his team showed off in Austria about two weeks ago, it is not difficult to see that opportunities come to players who rarely play or will not have the opportunity to play in the match against Brighton on Sunday. this day. Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota are two names among them, as they will serve a 3-match and 1-match suspension respectively for their recent red cards at Tottenham Stadium. Jones’ absence is all the more unfortunate because the 22-year-old midfielder is showing that he fits in naturally with the two rookies Mac Allister and Szoboszlai in Liverpool’s three-man midfield. And Jota is feeling defeated in gaining an official position in Liverpool’s аttаck. Mohamed Salah is the untouchable face, while Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez have an advantage over Jota as they have contributed to Liverpool’s gameplay and goals from the beginning of the season until now. Tonight’s match against Union Saint-Gilloise is an opportunity for the Portuguese striker to shine to create pressure on coach Klopp in choosing the remaining two players on the Anfield team’s аttаck line.
Everyone is waiting for a victory, maybe even a clear victory for Liverpool against Union Saint-Gilloise tonight. They have the biggest advantage in the group with their first victory, while the representative from Belgium only had a draw against Toulouse in the first match.
