Football media “Foot Mob” reported an interview with 20-year-old midfielder Harvey Elliott of Liverpool on the 10th. According to the media, Elliott demanded his teammates to “focus more on the tactics of the game, not on the pressure of Manchester City.”
Currently, Liverpool is in second place with 63 points and Manchester City is in third place with 62 points. As Arsenal won 2-1 against Brentford on the 10th, Arsenal is currently in first place with 64 points, and this result will give one of the three teams an advantage to achieve first place.
Indeed, it is a game where everyone’s attention is focused.
The fact that it will be held at Anfield, the home stadium, is a boon for Liverpool. Liverpool has not lost its home against Manchester City for three years since February 2021.
However, Liverpool players are currently injured. He is hospitalized regardless of the main and replacement members, including main goalkeeper Alisson Becker, tactical key Trent Alexander Arnold, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch and striker Diogo Jota.
Therefore, Liverpool is more desperate than ever for young players to actively participate in the match against Manchester City.
In response, Elliott, a promising player in the team and a “trustman” this season, continued his mature remarks, saying, “I have to think it’s just another game and focus.”
“Manchester City’s thick squad is ridiculously strong,” he said. “But it is important not to look at such a problem too big. We just need to show what we do well without worrying too much.”
“We will play our own football. If we are too conscious of Manchester City, our tactics will be like throwing it out the window,” he said.
He also attempted to lower the burden of the game, saying, “We need to be ready from the beginning,” adding, “It is true that the game against Manchester City is very important, but it seems to be receiving excessive attention.”
Both Manchester City and Liverpool are powerful teams with more than 60 points in the league so far. In the case of Manchester City, several offensive resources such as Elling Holan, Phil Foden, and Julian Alvarez are used to score points.
Liverpool is scoring goals with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez and Diogo Jota. Salah and Núñez are eligible to play in the match against Manchester City.
In particular, Núñez, who recently leads Liverpool’s offense, is considered a strong player who can snatch Liverpool’s victory as he has shown his peak goal sense with five goals in the last four games.
Elliott also praised Núñez, saying, “He had enough skills and skills to score goals. Now he’s showing that.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has announced that he will leave Liverpool after this season. Hence, chances are high that his showdown with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be his last.
Klopp and Guardiola are the coaches who have met each other the most. The two, who have played 29 games, have a slight lead of Klopp with 12 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses.
