Liverpool legend Heipia recently accepted an interview with the Liverpool Echo, and he talked about a series of topics about the Reds' transfer operations.
Kunsa went to Leverkusen
"First of all, I think this is right. Kunsa needs a stable chance of playing, which may not be possible if he continues to stay in the Reds. But I heard that Liverpool has a buyback clause, and if Kunsa can play in Leverkusen every week and continues to improve, I think we can bring him back, and then he will become a different player.
" Stable playing time will gradually build up stronger confidence, whether it is playing in different positions or seizing the opportunity when someone is injured. For young players, lack of play may be a little overwhelmed, they will work too hard or be nervous to be able to play to their due level. ”
Talking about Liverpool's central defender lineup
"At that time, Carragher and I would not have been able to defend the midfield line, and we didn't need so much running. Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, we are more likely to ensure that we can play in every game, and the running distance at that time was not as high as it is now. Speaking of this team now, I would be surprised if they don’t sign new players. Because Conat and Joe Gomez both have injuries, if one of them is injured, the team will only have two senior central defenders left.
"In my opinion, Van Dijk is the world's strongest central defender. He has excellent ball control, good long and short passes, fast defense, and few people can easily pass him. Van Dijk is very dominant in the penalty area, and I look forward to him scoring more goals with set pieces. He is tall and has a strong air dominance when he takes off. And Van Dijk is an excellent leader, and he can make his teammates better."
Talking about Wilz and Flynnon
"Wilz has come to a new cultural environment and a new arena. I think the Premier League is more difficult than the Bundesliga, although the Bundesliga is also a very good league. Therefore, he needs to adapt to this challenge. The pace of excellent Premier League games may be faster, but Wilz is an enough player.
"Wilz can catch the ball in a small space, which is exactly what the team needs. The biggest difficulty we encountered last year was facing those teams that defended deeply. If you want to tear the opponent's defense more easily, then Wiltz is a very suitable player. He can catch, turn, pass, score goals in limited space, and deliver accurate passes.
"Wilz and Flynnon have both been well trained under Alonso's leadership. Alonso hopes they can play great football, and the coach is also very strict in training. Now they are here at Liverpool, and the team will also ask everyone to train hard every day to ensure they are ready for the new season.
"Flynnon will compete with Bradley for the right-back position. I don't think Bradley has no chance, but Flynnon does have characteristics that are different from Arnold. Although I think Flynnon may not be as good as Arnold in crossing, his speed is amazing and his one-on-one breakthrough ability is also very strong. I think my teammates can see Flynn Poon's characteristics in training and recognize his strength. ”
