Since last year, when the African Cup of Nations has not yet officially started, the news that Mane and Salah have confirmed their return to china to participate in the African Cup of Nations has made many fans feel very worried about Liverpool. In the past few seasons, Mane and Salah have been the absolute main players in the Liverpool camp, and it is with them that manager Klopp has formed the formation of the "strongest trident in the Premier League". In the past, because two men were too important to Liverpool, Klopp never let two people miss the game at the same time. Since the start of the African Cup of Nations, Liverpool seems to have ushered in a fierce storm. At this moment, Diogojota stood up, since joining Liverpool in September 2020, Diogorota has been in the shadow of the trident, if it were not for the absence of Mane and Salah at the same time, I am afraid that Diogorota, there is no way to usher in his own solo performance moment so quickly.
Averaging 1 goal per game in 6 games, Jota played the role of Reds savior
Judging from the 6 games since salah and others left, Diogorotta alone got 6 goals and 1 assist in these 6 games. Liverpool also, with an unbeaten record, continued to follow Manchester City in the points table, leading third place Chelsea by four points, ranking second in the Premier League table. Jota himself is on the verge of scoring his 100th goal of his career. We have reason to believe that even if Mane and Salah return, with his recent performances, Klopp will be able to make this little wish come true soon.
Objectively speaking, Salah plus Mane, the two people, are almost indispensable to Liverpool. Without Jota's painstaking support during this time, Liverpool and Klopp would be in big trouble. Jota, on the other hand, plays the role of a firefighter, and he is Klopp's savior to be precise.
Klopp has Jota, will he still miss Salah and Mane now?
People often say that maxima is often there, but Bole is not often there. For Jota, Klopp is his Bole. Klopp single-handedly promoted the trade to bring in Jota, and when Jota first joined Liverpool, he made it clear that "Liverpool will enjoy Jota's role as a savior". After the recently concluded Liverpool-Leicester City match, Uncle Scum was delighted to be interviewed by reporters. When the other party asked Uncle Slag about the status of Ruota, Uncle Slag said very seriously, "He still has room for improvement!" "I can see that Klopp is full of confidence in Jota. Not surprisingly, the future of the Liverpool cake may usher in the time to redivide. The space of Mane and Salah in the team will inevitably be compressed accordingly.
Previously, both the outside world and Klopp himself were more optimistic about Firmino, believing that Firmino was more likely to become the new core player of trident in the future, and what he never expected now was that Jota has now become the hottest person in Liverpool. Firmino, who claims to be the most technically outstanding in the whole team, was instead "snubbed".
Strength makes extraordinary, and luck requires strength
In fact, Jota's popularity is not based on his good luck, this season Jota in all competitions, has helped Liverpool use 30 games, scored a total of 17 goals, it is worth mentioning that Jota's goals, can be described as full of gold, more than half, are the first goal of the whole game, or a decisive goal. The current Premier League top scorer list already has the young man's place, which is an inevitable performance before the transition from player to star.
In the eyes of many professionals, the most rare thing about Jota is that he has a comprehensive and balanced scoring ability, and the most important thing about Jota this season is not to show his efficient goals, but to introduce to the outside world a golden oil shooter who can start work on both the left and right feet at the same time, and the head technology is also the top, in his goals this season, the left and right foot goals and the head ball are almost simultaneous, and there is no shortcoming, this alone is enough to make countless scouts and media marvel.
In addition, the "most valuable" place in Jota is not only in the overall and balanced goal technology, but also in his own extremely high ball quotient, when he is racing on the field, he can always rely on a keen sense of smell, at the right time and place, make the right choice, and help Liverpool to win.
Liverpool's Jota has made countless giants red-eyed, but it is not easy to take away
In these crowds cheering for Jota, there is no shortage of scouts who have been sent by the major giants to explore the truth. However, in the context of the current five major leagues being hit by a cold winter, it is obviously not an easy task to poach Jota from Liverpool. Not to mention the bloody case before Barca threw 130 million yuan from Liverpool to forcibly take Coutinho away, and finally smashed it in his hand. Now everyone is actually very confused, will Jota become the next Coutinho? After all, many players have been able to become famous in football with the help of Klopp. Another point is enough to dissuade most suitors who have the heart to dig into the wall.
That is, when Jota first joined Liverpool, the transfer fee has been as high as 45 million pounds, and now compared to the past, Jota has officially entered the peak of his career, and if he wants to introduce him, he must come up with a large amount of real money, so if there is no accident, for a long time in the future, as long as there is no major change, Jota will always exist as the main player of Liverpool.
With 45 million world-class strikers introduced, Liverpool earned more this time
Although Klopp has said before that he played a decisive role in Liverpool's introduction of Jota in the first place, we cannot now tell whether Klopp's words are a joke or whether he really has the insight. Jota, who played for Wolves, did not show particularly prolific ability, but only with a balanced performance in the front midfield. He won some teams interest in him, but wolves did offer somewhat unprofitable. Bringing in a player who hasn't yet made a name for himself is not a bargain. Fortunately, at that time, everyone's economic conditions were not particularly tight, and the transaction was successfully completed.
Now Klopp will certainly be extremely proud of his original efforts to urge liverpool's top management to bring in Jota, and liverpool have now earned back the cost of this transaction.
Judging from the data given by the latest German transfer network, Jota's value has now reached 60 million euros, which is not attractive at all in Liverpool's view. Klopp has already said that "Jota is now a top striker". Klopp's words are reminiscent of what he said about Coutinho in the first place. We hope that this time, if the tower can keep a clear mind and not be disturbed by the noise, after all, it is difficult to find a confidant.
Crup is about to usher in the troubles of happiness, how will he choose?
It is also worth mentioning that since Jota joined Liverpool in 2020, he has played a total of 60 games for the team and scored 30 goals. And every time a game, as long as Jota can score, Liverpool have never lost a game. It can even be said that Jota is the mascot of Liverpool.
Looking at Jota's career, in fact, it is not difficult for us to find that Jota's ascent channel is not a smooth sailing, although Jota broke out of the fame very early in the five major leagues, but at that time, his performance was not stable, often experiencing several consecutive games or even a dozen goal droughts. Today, if Jota can show his strength in Liverpool again, it is not easy. In the future, Jota will usher in new challenges, because soon, Salah and Mane, who have participated in the African Cup, will return to Liverpool reports, when Jota must rely on enough hardcore strength to maintain his position in Klopp's heart. As the manager of Klopp, he will face the same problem as Lonnick and others, both people are equally good, how to choose? These topics are left for us to continue to discuss in the future!
