Jakarta –
Ex-player Liverpool Dietmar Hamann harsh criticism Thiago Alcantara. According to him, Thiago is a player overrated aka overvalued.
The Spanish midfielder joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2020. In his first season, Thiago was plagued with injuries, making only 30 appearances and scoring one goal in all competitions. However, Thiago helped the Reds finish in the top three in the Premier League.
Thiago’s second season at Liverpool shines even more. The former Barcelona player made 39 appearances, contributing two goals and five assists in all competitions.
Thiago’s performance led the Reds to have the opportunity to win the quadruple, before finally snatching two domestic trophies: the League Cup and FA Cup 2021/2022, as well as finishing runners-up in the Premier League and Champions League.
Can not be denied, Thiago Alcantara widely regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation. However, Hamann was not satisfied with Thiago’s performance. The player who has also played for Bayern believes Thiago is less useful when Liverpool don’t have the ball.
“In my opinion, the Reds need to modernize the team a bit, especially in midfield,” Hamaan wrote in his column on Sky Sport. “I don’t understand the hype about Thiago. For me he is one of the most overrated players in European football.”
“When things are going well and you have a lot of ball possession he’s a good player, but in the crucial moments you don’t see him. If you need someone to put pressure on him then he doesn’t do it.”
“[Naby] Keita is also a disappointment, [Jordan] Henderson is a worker. They need players who can make the difference and give the team something more,” concluded Hamann of Liverpool’s midfielders, including Thiago Alcantara.
