The Merseyside classic has arrived and it is time to see what Everton, for the defense of the Premier League leadership, and Liverpool, are made of to recover from a historic win on the last day.
One of Klopp’s concerns, without a doubt, is James Rodríguez, the creative axis of his rival and one of those directly responsible for the great start of the campaign for Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
How to stop it? The tactical scheme will not have major modifications, but the essential task will: we must cut circuits to the southpaw with Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin, multiply and anticipate anyone in a blue shirt who wants to contact him.
The first responsibility will be Fabinho, the Brazilian, master and lord of the midfield, key in the title campaign and who also knows him well, as they were teammates at Monaco in the 2013/2014 season, when their talent was emerging in Europe.
To support him will be none other than Captain Jordan Henderson, as the African Naby Keita will not be available after testing positive for coronavirus covid-19. All his experience will be pending to stop the creative bond of Everton.
Although the initialists have not been confirmed, Klopp received encouraging news in the last hours: Thiago Alcántara, his brilliant reinforcement of the season, has overcome the covid-19 and will be available.
Another that, possibly would have minutes, depending on how the game is played, would be Wijnaldum, who when the time comes would also have to shake his hand on the right to stop the Colombian creative. On that side, Robertson will have to multiply to not allow the left-handed front changes, which have already wreaked havoc in the Premier.
With this brand arsenal, and the speed so characteristic of his players, Klopp hopes to disarm Ancelotti’s structure and leave him without the magic of the 10 that wears the 16 jersey.
