Liverpool is on the brink of something big and this time he has no right to confuse
There was one moment on Sunday night when Mohamed Salah sent the ball over Ederson and the net on his door, and Anfield shook. It literally shook. Remarkable moments like this trigger such a zealous energetic reaction to Liverpool`s legendary old stadium, which you can not see with any other English club. It is true that one result should not lead to too many conclusions, but this 4:3 victory over Manchester City has served to confirm the ever-increasing perception that the reds will be the greatest threat to Josephine Guardiola`s hegemony inPremier League for the whole time the Spaniard decided to stay on the Island.
This shifting of layers is not, at least for the time being, seismic, no matter how much Anfield shakes. We remember last season that all journalists wrote about Tottenham being on the brink of great achievement, though he always had the strong suspicion that Wembley`s move (combined with financial constraints) could kill momentum.
Money has always been a problem for Liverpool in an era in which it seemed as if it was forever to breathe the dust of the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea. There is also the fear that from all the great clubs according sport livescores of England exactly the Merseyside is best able to turn the brilliant new era into disappointing crap. Still, the reds were a little bit ahead of Manchester City in the 2013/14 title battle and immediately after leaving Luis Suarez and the wrong money spent on the transfer market, they made all those hopes of fluff and dust.
Liverpool then returned to the elite, but did not do enough to stay there. When the Uruguayan Ace left, the leadership demanded his deputy one-on-one and soon jumped for Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona before the Chilean chose Arsenal. Then the approach was sharply changed and the fatal mistake made to buy a pound was made, generally quite bad.
Today, Sanchez is back on the market, but not Liverpool, and Manchester United or City fellow (or Chelsea) will snap it up while Jurgen Klop is busy pursuing other targets. But record-breaking buyout of Virginie van Dijk for ? 75m from Southampton has raised Liverpool to a completely different level in the transfer market. This amount is greater than any one paid for a single player from City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham. This means that the reds are already trading on the highest floors, especially since Barcelona`s 142 million pounds for Philippe Coutinho will be a separate addition to the budget for new players.
Liverpool did not have to sell the brilliant Brazilian to balance his bookkeeping or to secure funds for Van Dijk or Nabi Keita (the midfielder is likely to come to Anfield next summer, although Liverpool`s leadership is trying to speed up his coming from the Leipzig) as early as January), and Klop does not feel under the strain of spending Coitinho`s money.
This solution is wise. Unless the German has already pledged the arrival of new players capable of instantly improving the level of his titular eleven (and most of the team`s fans require as soon as possible a new goalkeeper),
