In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Villarreal beat Bayern 1-0. Considering the difference in strength between the two teams, such a result is really unexpected. Looking back at this game, Villarreal striker Danjuma performed extremely well, and it was his goal that helped the team win over Bayern. According to this season's Champions League statistics, Danjuma has scored 6 goals and 1 assist in 9 games, which is quite efficient. In this regard, Liverpool fans lamented: Uncle Scum's vision of people is still so accurate, but it is a pity that people did not buy it!
It all started last summer. In order to strengthen the winger position, Villarreal decided to take advantage of the summer window to bring in reinforcements. After some selection, Dutch winger Danjuma was signed for 20 million euros. Who would have thought that this transfer would actually arouse the doubts of their own fans. This is so because Danjuma, who previously played for Championship side Bournemouth, lacked the "work experience" of the five major leagues. As some La Liga fans joked: Huang Qian actually spent so much money to buy a rookie of the Championship.
In hindsight, Villarreal's vision was quite sharp. With outstanding personal ability, the newcomer Danjuma quickly became the attacking core of the team. In particular, he can pass and shoot and carry a full range of attributes, making La Liga opponents invincible. Not only did he score frequent goals in La Liga, but he also played in the Champions League for the first time. In the group stage, Danjuma scored four goals in 6 matches, making him the number one contributor to Villarreal's promotion. Seeing his performances in La Liga and the Champions League so bright, a group of giants are eyeing the tiger. That includes Liverpool.
Come to think of it, although Salah and Mane are still capable, their competitive form is significantly inferior to that of previous seasons. Coupled with salah's unclear prospects for contract renewal, the pre-emptive Klopp is looking for a replacement, and Danjuma, who has excellent offensive ability and a positive defensive attitude, is the player he wants. According to a previous report by well-known journalist Romano, Klopp had asked for Danjuma in the winter window this year. Unfortunately, Villarreal's asking price was clearly beyond Liverpool's reach, and the deal failed.
Fortunately, Danjuma was not affected by the transfer storm, and he is still in excellent shape after the winter window is closed. Especially in the Champions League, Danjuma, who has continued to work hard, has helped Villarreal cut through the thorns along the way. In the quarter-finals against Serie A supremacy Juve, Danjuma scored a goal for Villarreal to seal the promotion situation. Facing Bundesliga supremacy Bayern, it was his goal score that allowed Villarreal to win the first leg of the series. It is worth mentioning that in addition to scoring one goal, Danjuma also created two chances for his forward teammates. Such an all-round performance allowed him to get a post-match rating of 7.9 and rank second in the team.
Counting the goal against Bayern, Danjuma scored six goals and one assist in nine Champions League games, which is terrifyingly efficient. With a sustained highlight, Danjuma's deflection price reached 50 million euros and was then named to the most expensive squad in La Liga this season. Seeing this, Liverpool fans are very upset: unfortunately, Uncle Scum's vision, if you buy it in the winter window, how good it would be! I can't afford to buy it now!
