Everton vs Liverpool The Scot is one of the best left backs in the world
There is no easy game in the Premier League. The best league in the world gathers every weekend matches of the highest level and this coming one will not be the exception. Everton and Liverpool meet at Goodison Park in a duel that will put Ancelotti’s men to the test, who, led by James Rodriguez wish to continue at the top from the top of the championship.
Since arriving at the islands, The Colombian has only faced Jos Mourinho’s Tottenham in terms of the so-called ‘Top Six’, so the Merseyside derby It will be a new opportunity to know if this Everton can at least say present in Europe in the 2021/2022 season.
James will have his most demanding duel on an individual level since Ancelotti took him to the Premier. The cucuteo compete by being on the right wing with the left back of the ‘reds’ Andrew Robertson. The Scotsman is one of the great results of Klopp’s work at Liverpool, becoming one but the best left-handed tip marker today.
Ben Davies, Kieran Gibbs, Tyrick Mitchell, Aaron Cresswell and Solly March are so far the full-backs who have had to mark James Rodriguez in the best league in the world. The only one who could really put him in trouble at times was third on the list and more because of the development of the meeting than because of personal virtues. Although Everton’s ’19’ has given up when he starts on the right, what awaits him on Saturday has no comparison with what he has seen so far.
Fast, agile, strong, intelligent, with great numbers in terms of assists and above all, tireless. The Scotsman is together with Alexander Arnold one of the main symbols of the Klopp team. A side that although it will make things difficult for James when the Colombian threatens the defense of the ‘reds’, especially to demand physically from the cucuteo.
James will have to be very aware of Liverpool’s number 26, who when the current Premier attacks becomes practically one more extreme. It is true that he could take advantage of the Scottish rises to look for a counterattack on the left wing of the ‘reds’, although the reality is that if Everton wants to have a chance on Saturday, James Rodriguez should be the first to be behind Andrew Robertson.
To this we add the interference it has in the offensive. James’ next rival managed only last season to give 12 assists in 36 Premier games, more than impressive figures when we talk about a winger. At 26, the Glasgow-born is at least the most complete left-back today.
If there is something that characterizes English football but especially Jrgen Klopp’s teams, it is intensity. One that the German coach uses to attack but especially to defend when his team loses the ball. The ‘Reds’ bite with anger andIn the first seconds that the opponent takes the ball, James feels an immediate pressure that so far he has not seen in the Premier.
Added to this, the champion of the British first division is a team in solidarity on defense and where everyone has the task of quickly organizing the defensive line, so Diogo Jota plus the one chosen between Milner and Wijnaldum will surely be very aware of James. We must also bear in mind that if the Colombian throws himself into the middle as usual, he will have to battle with the entire half of the court ‘Red’.
If he can take advantage of the gaps left by Robertson’s climbs, James will meet Virgil van Dijk as the last obstacle before reaching goalkeeper. The Dutch defender is the best on the planet from the numbers in hand-to-hand. If we add to this his physical prowess of 1.93 meters, it is clear that he will not be a simple opponent.
Beyond the individual, the great credit or risk for James is not being able to find the few spaces that Klopp’s men are going to leave him, who in matches like these, of an emotional nature or of great demand, perform like never before. Saturday will be the toughest test for James since he first stepped into the Premier League.
