For the Premier League's biggest teams, they will have a real sprint phase of the season after the end of the International Break. For most of the season, these teams have had peaks and lows. Judging from the situation in the table, Liverpool have once again quietly approached the top position. For Klopp and his players, if they can reverse their opponents to win the league title at the end of the season after falling sharply behind in the middle of the season, it will be an "epic" season for them. And, in addition to the league, in the Champions League, they also have quite a good competitiveness. Theoretically, if the FA Cup is also included, it is not impossible for the team to win the "treble" this season.
And, for Liverpool, the rest of the season also offers them quite good opportunities. In the league, they are currently behind and have not yet won the initiative to win the championship. That is to say, as long as the competitors all win in the later games, Liverpool will certainly not be able to reach the top of the table at the end of the season. However, Liverpool will soon usher in a direct dialogue with Manchester City, which will be the "Battle of King's Hill" this season. If Liverpool suffer a defeat in this game, they are likely to hand over the title trophy early. However, if Liverpool can win the battle, they will take the "bellwether" position from the opponent. Another point that is quite good for Liverpool is that in the Champions League, their game at this stage is significantly less difficult. Relatively speaking, they are expected to complete the promotion without delaying the rotation of the squad. And their competitors will have to go all out because they will be fighting strong opponents, which is obvious for the loss of physical strength in their main squad.
However, Liverpool's squad also has some hidden concerns that need to be resolved by Klopp as soon as possible. Among them, the most important thing is that the state of the star Salah is not ideal. In the tournament before the International Match Day, the top scorer scored only 1 goal in 5 games, and this goal was also a penalty. That's a big contrast to his goal efficiency throughout the season. Salah's poor form continued into the national team matches and missed penalties in key matches. Whether salah can adjust to his form in time will become Liverpool's "winner" this season. Although other players in the team's front line, such as Mane, Luis Díaz, Jota and other players have shown good form, objectively speaking, there is still a relatively obvious gap between them and Salah's level. If Klopp wants to lead the team to "blow up" in the rest of the game, a in-form Salah is indispensable.
In addition, for the renewal of the core player's contract, the communication between the two sides still has not achieved enough results. Because Salah's expectations for salary packages are high enough to break the team's salary balance, Liverpool have not made up their minds. And as Salah showed signs of declining form, the difficulty of the "multiple choice problem" that Liverpool faced seemed to have dropped a little. For the team, if Salah can regain his form, they are expected to further increase their contract extension offer and try to reach an agreement with him; if Salah can't get back to the top, or even collapse, then Liverpool's sale at the end of the season seems to be a more logical choice. Sources say that Klopp has always had a crush on Rafinha, and that they were once running the Brazilian winger's transfer, but with little success, and the other side did not seem to be very interested in their offer.
In addition to finding ready-to-play players, Liverpool are also looking for some young players with outstanding potential to improve the team's squad thickness. Especially in the midfield position, Thiago, although he has a high standard in attack, has not been able to provide the team with a high enough attendance, which has made Liverpool's midfield line-up almost always changing. According to as a newspaper, in the transfer contract of Fulham's 19-year-old fabio Carvalho, Liverpool has finally "settled the dust" and has decided to pocket the genius forward. This season, the potential player has shown great form, having scored 10 goals and 6 assists in all competitions.
In addition, at Chelsea, although the team is in trouble, their form is getting better. However, Werner, the main striker who had high hopes for the team, has been somewhat frustrated this season and has not performed as expected. According to Sport1, Werner has decided to leave the squad at the end of the season and he may choose to play in other leagues. Chelsea are understood to be hoping for a transfer fee of 40 million euros in his transfer. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
