da imperador bet： Paulo Dybala. A player who is obviously a world-class talent, that much goes without saying.
The Juventus man has forged a career from excelling in the No.10 role, showcasing exquisite dribbling skills and an uncanny eye for goal that has seem him rise from mere obscurity at Palermo to a footballing icon at Juventus.
Recent reports have been linking the Argentina international with a move to Liverpool, who are quite clearly in need of some depth in attack with just Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge available as backup.
Are the media letting Jurgen Klopp off lightly for his lack of silverware? The Pl>ymaker FC squad have their say in the video below…
However, Jurgen Klopp has his formidable attacking trident of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, a trio which works extremely well and would be foolish to disrupt.
This is where the problem lies. Firstly, as aforesaid, the Reds need depth. But it is somewhat of a catch 22 when looking to sign a player to solve this, as any potential arrival would need to understand that they may not be starting week in, week out.
Another issue is replicating Firmino’s role in this system. Few strikers have the mindset that the Brazilian possesses, as he is a player who always puts the team first and finds himself in areas that a forward should be alien to, all to help the team.
Firmino’s tendency to drop deep – very deep – and drag centre-backs infield with him is vital in helping Mane and Salah score the amount of goals that they do; note that the two Africans have both hit 20 goals in successive seasons, whereas Firmino’s tally is a lot lower as he sacrifices personal statistics for the good of the team.
Would Dybala, or anyone else for that matter, arrive at Anfield and immediately throw themselves and their reputation under the bus so Mane and Salah can score goals? Think of it this way: if Dybala arrived in a big-money deal, and only scored around 10 goals, he would be regarded as a flop even if he was allowing Mane and Salah to hit 20 goals yet again.
Firmino’s role is understood well by the Liverpool fans and by most of those interested in the Premier League, and it is a unique one that helps keep the Reds’ attack finely balanced.
In searching for a back-up option, Klopp should perhaps set his sights a little lower than such a huge, world-renowned name like Dybala, in order not to upset the dynamics of the side.
