When you read this you know this is Liverpool’s fan writing. If you don’t watch football you might confused some sentences. But before you skip this, let me explain why Liverpool in Jürgen Klopp is very famous and doing very well in the Premier League and why they are capable of beating every team on earth. You might seem that this is a very boring topic but if you read all this is a very exciting story.
Winning a Trophy is not an easy thing and winning a lot of trophies is way harder but there’s one club that is capable of winning everything right now. If you ask what club is very hot(famous) right now or if you say what is the best football club in the world right now. Most People who watch football would say it’s Liverpool.
Why Liverpool?
In the 2017-2018 season they reached the UEFA Champions League Final. They met Real Madrid and the result was a 1-3 loss with Karius’ mistake. If someone will win the International Treble, there will be people laughing and saying something like “Are you joking?”
So in the 2018-2019 season. Liverpool didn’t have a lot of hope in winning the UEFA Champions League.
There are 2 legs in the Knockout stage and Liverpool reached the Semi-Final. If they win, they will reach the final for the second year. But sadly after they lost 3-0 in the first legs against a team like Barcelona and two of the important players(Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino) were also injured.
No one thought Liverpool would reach the final. But they knew they would fight until the last whistle.
Then in the 2nd leg, Liverpool got an early goal and in the 2nd half Liverpool scored 3 goals which made it 4-3 on aggregate. By full time Liverpool had reached the final. Wait… What??
Who would expect this from a team like Liverpool? They had no hope to win any trophy that season, especially when fighting against one of the best teams in the world with one of the best players in the world, Leonel Messi. This was not easy. After the match, Liverpool reached the final and beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.
“The Golden Age” had begun . Liverpool performed really well in the Premier League. After that they won the UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea and Won the FIFA Club World Cup. No one was expecting Liverpool to go this far. Now they have won the league and are 23 points away from the 2nd place. Which is Manchester City.
This makes Liverpool one of the best clubs in the world and they are very popular right now. Even the Covid-19 outbreak cannot stop Liverpool from winning the League. They have so many records to break and no one is going to stop Liverpool from doing that.
Now, how can Liverpool win the Continental treble next in the Klopp era?
You’ll never Walk alone
Liverpool could win the treble in the Klopp era. Liverpool is a very confident club and they want to win everything for the fans. When the fans watch Liverpool playing they are doing everything to help the team win no matter what the situation is. This is why Liverpool’s Fans are some of the best. No matter what the result, Liverpool’s Fans will support the club. The Song “You’ll never walk alone” tells the meaning of this football club. In the song, there’s a part that it said
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
Legend has it that in the UEFA Champions League Final 2005, Liverpool were 3-0 down against AC Milan in the first half. In the second half, Liverpool fans sang this song and motivated Liverpool players and After that, they scored an equalizer. That year, they won on penalties.
Tactics
In the game Liverpool pressed(Gegenpress) their opposition which made the opposition hard to play their own tactics. Players like Van Dijk and Alisson help Liverpool not to concede a lot of goals, their positioning is perfect and they have good reactions.
Liverpool front trio( Salah, Mane, and Firmino) also produce lots of goals for Liverpool. There might be someday that one of the players might be out of form but one of them will be in form instead. They help each other when one of them is not in great form. Firmino is creative like a playmaker ( Create chances of Scoring), Salah is a finisher (Great Shooting), and Mane is pacey(fast).
Liverpool full backs also one of the deadliest weapons. Robertson and Alexander Arnold both work completely well and they make many assists. They usually join in attacks but they also defend well too.
Alexander Arnold is good from dead balls and set pieces. He is also a great passer too.
Robertson is more like a crosser. He never stops running and delivers crosses.
Liverpool are also known as the last minute goal team. They often score in the last minute of the game which makes them win. They also have a scary counter attack too especially when they cut the ball in the midfield or from the corner.
They also need to train and prepare their body a lot, so they can be fit. Especially in the pre-season they need to do Lactate tests(running around the field) and more exercise. That’s why Liverpool players never stop running until the referee blows the last whistle.
Financial
Liverpool might seem like a club with a lot of money after they won the Champions League and are going to seal the title. But the covid-19 outbreak made them have financial problems and they needed to pull out from the Werner deal. However, there are more rumour that are linked to Liverpool trying to sign Houssem Aouar, Kai Havertz, Jadon Sancho to help in midfield and attack, or Kalidou Koulibaly to make their defense hard as rock .
So what changed? Actually Liverpool used to be a team that wasted player salaries. For example, in 2011 Liverpool signed Luiz Suárez for £22.8 million and Andy Carroll for £35 million but Suárez performed better than Carroll even thought Suárez was cheaper than Carroll. Liverpool also signed some players that couldn’t help the team a lot until Jürgen Klopp arrived in 2015. After that Liverpool used their money carefully .For example they signed Andrew Robertson for £8 million. According to CIES Football Observatory, he is valued around €90-120 million. Liverpool also got more future stars in a younger team, with players such as Harvey Elliot(17 years old), Neco Williams( 19 years old), Curtis Jones( 19 years old) ,and more.
If they sign some star players or give a chance to the young players, Liverpool could win not three, not four, not five but seven trophies, including Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and the FA Community Shield.
But the condition is they need to win the UEFA Champions League first so they can play in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Winning 7 trophies might seem impossible but Barcelona once won 6 trophies in one season. In terms of Liverpool, they might not win every match but they want to win every match. That made Liverpool perform very well in the League. If Liverpool keeps improving their form more and keep their form on fire like this for a long time. They could win every match and win the treble or even 7 trophies.
Lastly, Congratulations to Liverpool of winning the Premier League and I hope everyone will enjoy the rest of the season!
