Liverpool he needs to react now, he cannot continue losing points in the Premier League season as his main rivals take distance, such as Manchester Citywhich has 7 points, or the Arsenalwho has 9 out of 9. The reds, with Luis Díaz inspired after the great goal he scored on the previous date, visit a downcast this Monday Man Utd (2 pm, ESPN TV), who despite his bad sporting moment and his crisis, will always be a special rival, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo on the attack.
Liverpool, to lift
Liverpool has two draws at the start of the championship, so the first criticisms have not been long in coming. In fact, the previous day they lost at home against Crystal Palace and the Colombian had to come out as a great savior to rescue a point, and with a tremendous goal, in his best style.
That goal calmed the first criticisms that were already resonating against Lucho, although they are still heading towards the team’s game, which is still far from the level shown in the previous campaign, when they were runner-up in the premier league and the Champions.
The technician Klopp He knows that his team has to pick up immediately, become strong, and for that he has full confidence in what the Colombian can do. “The idea of the round trip is very clear. When the rival has the ball, the Colombian is just another rival”, said Klopp before the game against Manchester United. And he added: “Improving in the finishing will touch the sky in the Premier League.”
Full confidence in Diaz
Before this game, Klopp was consulted by Sky Sports about the bonus that Lucho has given him since he arrived last February. “He had to play immediately because two guys (Salah and Mané) were in the African Cup of Nations, so that helped him settle down. That gave him immediate confidence. It’s the quality of him, the talent of him, the ability of him. He is a really good player. We knew it before and when you’re really good it’s easier to settle down… he has a special thing: he can score from outside the area, which for a striker is really important. It is very, very important for us”, said the coach.
The attention of the game will once again be focused on Díaz, given the absence due to suspension of Darwin Nunez, expelled the previous day. In addition, an interesting duel with the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo is glimpsed, whose continuity in the club is still to be seen. In any case, it is Ronaldo, and as long as he is there he is the hope of the red devils, who have lost two games and are at the bottom of the table, but are encouraged by the recent signing of the Brazilian Casemirowhich could mean that CR7 stays.
The game is under threat as Manchester fans announce protests against the club’s owners, to the point that Klopp said that if something happened and the game did not take place, they would give them the 3 points. “We have nothing to do with the situation and if the fans want it to be a no game, then we can’t just rearrange it again and fit it somewhere in an incredibly tight season,” he said.
Both clubs are in a weak moment, but for both of them this game could be vital for their vindication.
