Klopp grumbles about Liverpool being asked to buy Upamecano!

Jakarta –

Jürgen Klopp grumbled after suggestions Liverpool recruiting defenders RB Leipzig Dayot upamecano in January. Upamecano is considered the right replacement Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool lost Van Dijk for most of the course of the season due to a Cruciate Ligament injury. Van Dijk’s absence made the defending Premier League champions lack energy at the heart of the defense.

Now Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are left in that position, as players who have experience and maturity at the top level. Another option is to play Fabinho as a center back.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said Jürgen Klopp shortage of people there and worried about Joel Matip’s injury history. He also advised Liverpool to speed up plans for a center-back signing, which he believes should be worked out next summer.

Carragher also suggested the name Dayot Upamecano, who last season impressed with Leipzig. Upamecano has previously been strongly linked with Manchester United.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp was also asked about this proposal, ahead of the match against Ajax, Thursday (22/10/2020) in the morning WIB at Matchday In the Champions League.

“Is anyone interested in tomorrow’s game or are we discussing this all night? Yes, we are entering the season with three center-backs with Fabinho as cover, plus the young lads. That’s usually a pretty good amount,” he said.

“As a football club, it is difficult to have four world class center-backs. On the one hand, it is quite expensive, on the other hand one of them has not played for a very long time and it is quite difficult because this is not a position that you rotate a lot. So yes all complicated. “

“If someone wants to tell you that we made a mistake in the transfer market … I think Jamie Carragher or anyone else has mentioned this kind of thing. There are a number of reasons why they don’t do manager jobs, but they do other jobs (analyst). . “

“But you can’t always have a solution before you face the problem. Yes, the situation isn’t perfect, of course, and Joel Matip isn’t here either, so it’s not perfect.”

“But that’s our situation and we need to resolve it. We’ll see how we react. We’re still a little sensitive about the situation, which you obviously don’t feel,” Klopp was quoted as saying. Metro.
