Julian Nagelsmann on Florian Wirtz's current form at Liverpool:

"I always speak to Flo, regardless of his situation. It's a very complex and difficult situation when you look at his club."

"Last year they won the Premier League and played very attractive football. This year a few players left them, and they invested a lot of money on new players."

"So the entire mix is very complex - each of the 5 attacking players wants to be the 'star player', this situation doesn't make it easy for Flo - because the entire club is not as stable as they were last season. I watched the game against City and they were the worse team over 90 minutes."

"It's not easy for Flo to put his mark in such a situation. We can see that a lot of players struggle when they move to another club where there have been many changes. In the end I can't influence his performances at Liverpool."

"I can only influence what he does here. I think he made steps in the right direction in October. We all know what he can do, it's normal to have a dip in form. We'll help and support him to keep a clear head."

Roy Keane on Matheus Cunha:

“Cunha plays like a man who hasn’t been paid in three months. We saw that against Liverpool, Arsenal. He chased everything, fought everyone, and made them uncomfortable for 90 minutes. Believe me, that’s not coach tactics, that’s hunger.

And United’s been starving for it.”

Steven Gerrard: “I had the chance to play for other teams and win the Premier League that I missed so much. But I never wanted to be remembered as just another player at a giant club, I wanted to be the legend of one.

Liverpool was my life, my refuge, and my greatest pride. Even in the most painful defeats, I never thought about giving up or changing shirts.

The slip in 2014 haunts me to this day, and I know some define me by that moment. But if I could go back, I’d choose to stay again. Because being loyal to one club, even in sadness, is worth more than any golden medal.”

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Liverpool have offered centre-back Ibrahima Konaté a new contract for a third time.

They remain confident in their ability to convince the France international defender Konaté to sign a new contract.

Despite his inconsistent start to the season Liverpool executives continue to do what is necessary to extend the stay.

(Source: L’ÉQUIPE)

Just to protect his transfer value. But seeing how crappy he has been, not much to protect there….

All along the same rule as far as i know. The keyword is “interfering with play”.

But this was allowed

Joan Laporta: "I have no regrets about what happened with Messi's departure. Barca is above everything. But if attribute helps, then fantastic."

Francesco Totti: “Put Messi in Roma for 25 years and tell me, how many Ballon d’Or would he win?” Ten? Nope, none of them.

Do you know why? Because the Ballon d'Or is not only about talent, but also about the team you play on and the titles you win.

Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, had he played those same 25 years in Rome, would have won more Ballon d'Or than he has today.

Cristiano has shown that his success is from his ambition and his constant work.”

Hopeful things will change for the better after this international break.
