Thiago Alcantara is said to Disturb Liverpool’s Balance

DBasia.news – Liverpool’s desire to bring in Thiago Alcantara is considered to disturb the balance of his team. This was stated by one of their legends, John Barnes.

Liverpool is reportedly just one step away to realize this transfer. Bayern Munich as the owner of Thiago did not mind releasing the star.

Many people believes the presence of Thiago can perfect Liverpool’s game. The former Barcelona player’s creativity is believed to further maximize the potential of the front-line trio filled by Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino.

However, Barnes expressed the opposite view. He was afraid that Thiago’s presence would damage the balance of Liverpool’s game.

“The reason you can have two full backs attacking simultaneously and three strikers is because they have three midfielders who work hard to protect the situation,” Barnes told the BBC.

“If you get another creative midfielder and want a full back and three forwards to attack, then maybe you will concede more goals.”

Barnes statement is true. Thiago’s presence will likely make Liverpool slightly change their style of play.

That would certainly affect Liverpool’s overall performance. If they don’t adapt quickly, then Jurgen Klopp’s team will have difficulty repeating last season’s achievements.

Barnes felt that Liverpool did not need to change the main players. He advised Klopp to bring up cheap coatings in the transfer market this summer.

Even so, Klopp certainly knows better what his team needs. Thiago’s presence might add to the dimensions of the attack by his players so that the opponents are unable to read it easily.
