Jürgen Klopp Introduces: The Best Version Of Liverpool Israel today

2022-04-13T08:10:56.030Z


With a 1: 3 advantage from the first game, tonight's rematch against Benfica in the quarterfinals of the Champions League should not be a big problem for the Mighty Reds, certainly when they present perhaps the most beautiful football in Europe


Tonight's rematch (Wednesday, 22:00, Sport 5 Plus) against Benfica takes over Liverpool in the midst of crucial days.

These include the 2-2 draw against Manchester City in the league, the game against City in the Cup semi-final on Saturday and the struggles in the Champions League.

With these three factories on the table and the League Cup already in your pocket, the question arises as to how good and powerful Liverpool are currently relative to recent years.

In early March, Jürgen Klopp was asked just that - is this the best team he has coached?

The German replied without hesitation: "Yes, this is the best staff I have coached."

Before diving into the qualities of this squad, it should be mentioned that Klopp led Dortmund to Robert Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa, Mats Hummels and Mario Getze for a German double, and current Liverpool to win the Champions League and first championship after 30 years with 99 points.

And yet, even though when asked the question his team only held the League Cup, was 9 points away from Manchester City in the league and immersed in Cup and Champions League struggles - the German claimed the current squad is the best he has coached.

A look at the statistics provides a first explanation for this determination.

Liverpool have three of the top four scorers in the league: Muhammad Salah (20), Diego Jote (15) and Sadio Mane (13), and the three top cooks: Trent Alexander Arnold (12), Salah (11) and Andy Robertson (10).

If the goal of the game is to put the ball in the net, then Liverpool do it best of all (79 conquests).

What's more, it did not come at the cost of defensive lawlessness: Klopp's team conceded 22 goals in the league (second only to City), while Allison kept a cleaner net than any other goalkeeper in the league, 17 times.

Liverpool catch their opponents more than any other team in league history, 129 times, a figure that indicates exceptional defensive coordination.

Alongside all this there is another explanation for success.

In the end, football is examined with the eyes.

The current Liverpool delivers power, depth and qualities that it seems to have never had under Klopp.

The addition of Luis Diaz, the improvement of Jote, the stability of everything else - all of these make this Liverpool the best team that Klopp has coached, he says.

Now, all she has left is to back up that statement with degrees.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
