Klopp has the key to maximizing Thiago Alcantara’s performance

DBasia.news – Jurgen Klopp seems to have found a way to maximize the quality of a Thiago Alcantara. The Spanish midfielder appeared remarkable when Liverpool won 2-0 over FC Porto in the 2021-2022 Champions League.

In the match that took place at Anfield, Thursday (25/11), Thiago scored a spectacular goal. A hard kick from outside the penalty box tore Porto’s goal.

It was Thiago’s first goal of the 2021-2022 season. He has only appeared nine times as he had suffered a calf injury.

Thiago is considered not to have shown his best quality since moving to Liverpool in the summer of last year. The 30-year-old player has even struggled to break into the main squad.

Though the quality of Thiago doesn’t need to be doubted. This has made many parties assess that his style of play does not match Liverpool.

But Klopp seems to continue to look for ways to maximize the quality of Thiago. These efforts are now starting to show results.

“Thiago is an extraordinary player for us, of course. But we have to find a solution when he is unavailable,” Klopp told Liverpool’s official website.

“Thiago has a specific skill set and it really helps when he finds his rhythm on the pitch. So the challenge we face is to make sure he can find his rhythm but not overdo it.”

“That’s why we pulled him out in the game against Porto, so as not to give him the opportunity to be too tired in the game, where then injuries might occur.”

Klopp is careful in keeping Thiago. He certainly doesn’t want the player to have to be out for too long and affect Liverpool’s performance.
