Thiago’s appearance in the Chelsea vs Liverpool match was also flooded with praise from many parties. However, on the one hand, not a few thought that his presence could actually disturb the balance of Juergen Klopp’s squad.
One of those who think about it is Danny Murphy, a former Liverpool player in the 2000s. The man who is now active as a pundit in England believes Thiago’s arrival will not make all the Red players happy, especially midfielders such as Georginio Wijnaldum.
Yes, Wijnaldum is the player most threatened to be kicked out of Liverpool’s starting line-up with Thiago’s presence. If that really happened, it is not impossible that the midfielder who has been widely linked with Barcelona would immediately leave Anfield.
“I really believe Thiago Alcantara came to Liverpool as a main player – I doubt if he talks to Juergen Klopp about having to sit on the bench this season,” Murphy said. Omnisport.
“He has good feet, great passes, great awareness and can play in any midfield position. I think his purchases of under 30 million pounds were not in vain, because he only has one year left on his contract with Bayern,” Murphy added.
“I think Gini Wijnaldum’s departure will be inevitable now that Liverpool will have seven or eight players competing for three positions. That means there are too many unhappy faces for the balance of the squad,” Murphy said of his arrival. Thiago Alcantara ke Liverpool.
