Liverpool –
Liverpool fans don’t have to worry when Juergen Klopp brings in Ozan Kabak. Because Klopp already knows a lot about Kabak from his friend David Wagner.
Kabak has just made his transfer to Liverpool inaugurated on Tuesday (2/2/2021) at the WIB in the morning, after reaching a loan agreement with Schalke 04 until the end of the season.
Later, Kabak can be permanent with a £ 18 million tag if his performance is satisfactory. Kabak’s arrival from Schalke is questionable considering that his previous club has the lowest ranking in the Bundesliga and has conceded the most.
Furthermore, Kabak entered after Liverpool failed to get close to Braga defender David Carmo or Marseille player Duje Caleta-Car who were said to be statistically better. If you look at Kabak’s performance in the first half of the season, it is clear that he is not the solution for Liverpool’s current defense.
It will not be an easy task for Kabak to fill the positions left by Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip at Liverpool. At just 21 years old and lacking experience playing for big teams, Kabak will face the real test in Liverpool.
As for Kabak’s performance at his previous club, Juergen Klopp is not worried. Because he has received a lot of comments from Wagner, a former Schalke coach who is also his best friend, regarding Kabak’s abilities. Wagner was the one who brought Kabak to Schalke in the summer of 2019.
“Yes Dave has given a very, very positive assessment of him. He came to Germany at a very young age and everyone knows he has extraordinary talent,” Klopp said on Liverpool’s official website.
“He is only 20 now. Schalke is his second club in Germany and unfortunately they are in a bad position at the moment. For him, I think this is a very good time to move because, like most players, you need a barn”. team to be able to perform well, “he continued,
“Our team is stable and you can play in your best position, you don’t need to be very good and don’t be afraid of making mistakes, you can learn from there.”
“He is an extremely talented player and we are looking forward to working with him.”
