New season has come. That means the new battle has begun.
Because we’ve Champions League coming up also. After five seasons, finally we
could get the chance to play in Champions League again. It’s so relieve. That’s
why Liverpool FC need consistency in every game this season.
A lot of changes happened in Liverpool FC squad in
pre-season. We’ve lost our vital player last season: Luis Suarez, whose got
transferred to Barcelona. When I heard the news, frankly it didn’t surprise me at
all. After incident in World Cup, when Suarez bite Italian player, I gave up
on him. That’s the third times he’d done that. It’s kinda hard to forgive him,
even though he was our top scorer last season.
So, when I heard Suarez’s transfer, I only response: Oh,
well. I know it’s gonna be tough to find a player like him. In football, there’s
no man alike. Suarez had made great, unimaginable, superb, and sometimes
ridiculous goals last season. I’m really grateful for what he’d done for
Liverpool FC. Thank you for having three awesome years with us.
So, what’s next then, after losing our top scorer? Liverpool’s
manager, Brendan Rodgers, has come up with eight new players (when I post this
blog). They are Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Dejan Lovren, Emre Can, Lazar
Markovic, Javier Manquillo, Divock Origi, and Alberto Moreno. Those players
mostly are midfielder and backs. We only have one new striker: Rickie Lambert,
while Origi is going back to Lille for one year.
To be honest, I don’t know most of them. I only can
recognize Lallana and Lambert, who play for Southampton last season. Actually,
Lovren was also in Southampton, but his name did’t ring me a bell. From all of
those players, I’m really excited when Liverpool FC signs Lallana. He play
really well last season for Southampton. Tough and determined player. I
remember Liverpool FC vs Southampton’s match. Lallana was the motor of
Southampton game. When he moves and get the ball, I always said to Liverpool FC players: Stop him! Stoooopppp hiiimmm! So, when I heard that Lallana is coming
to Anfield, I'm really excited. Unfortunately, he got injured in pre-season,
so he won’t be able to play in Barclays Premier League’s first match.
Anyway, there has been a bunch of analysis of what Liverpool FC's gonna be this season. In the midst of a lot of saying that we haven’t found
a player that match the capability like Suarez, I’m pretty confident about this
season. Yes, I do think we need more
strikers, at least one more with a great skill. We can’t depend ourselves to
Daniel Sturridge. He’s a great player but we need another one, so we have plenty
of choice in the front line. But, looking at the squad today, there’s a lot of
room to grow for another players. Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling couldn’t
be stop, and continue to blossom in every match. Jordon Ibe has proved himself
as one of the contender that need to be watch out in pre-season. They are young
players that always amaze me in every game.
Liverpool FC has done a good job in pre-season with 5 wins and
3 losses. Yes, it wasn’t a straight wins. But, I’m pretty satisfied with it. And
how about this season? Well, Steven Gerrard has decided to retire from England’s
national team, that means he can focus on Liverpool FC. Both Liverpool FC’s new
and young players have shown their best in pre-season. We’ve won the last
pre-season match against Borussia Dortmund with 4-0. Lovren and Manquillo
caught my attention on that match. Well done, lads!
So, facing the new season 2014/2015? Just bring it on! Reds
army is marching and coming for you! We are ready!
