Liverpool fans are buzzing as the team has kicked off the season in style, winning their first three Premier League games and not conceding a single goal.
Despite the emotional departure of long-time manager Jurgen Klopp last season, the Reds have shown no signs of slowing down, scoring seven goals and looking more solid than ever at the back.
Even Manchester City’s midfield star, Rodri, had to admit Liverpool’s form has been impressive. In a recent interview, he said,
“Very strong and was not sure how they were going to respond with the goodbye of Jurgen but they respond like nothing happened, so they’re always a threat.”
High praise from a man who knows a thing or two about what it takes to win at the top.
The Klopp effect is still felt at Liverpool and Rodri to grab the Ballon d’Or?
While Klopp may have said his goodbyes, the legacy he left behind seems to be carrying Liverpool forward.
The players have continued his pressing style, leaving teams gasping for breath and struggling to break through the defense. This new chapter for Liverpool feels like a continuation of Klopp’s influence, and even though he’s gone, his presence seems to still echo around Anfield.
With three wins out of three and no goals conceded, it’s no wonder that Rodri and others are feeling the pressure. The Spaniard himself is coming off an incredible season, winning the Premier League with Manchester City and helping Spain secure a Euro 2024 triumph.
Thus, he is one of the top candidates to secure the Ballon d’Or 2024 award. But even he knows that Liverpool, despite the changes, are still a force to be reckoned with.
With 7 games in just 22 days, Liverpool’s next few matches will be crucial as they look to extend their perfect record and keep the clean sheets coming. With key players like Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk in fine form, there’s every reason for fans to believe this season could be a special one.
As Rodri said, “They’re always a threat”—and right now, Liverpool are proving just that.
