Alexis Mac Allister shines for Liverpool and reflects on Klopp’s influence

Alexis Mac Allister is one of Liverpool’s leading figures in the Premier League and has just scored a key goal for the 3-1 victory against Sheffield United on the last day of the English tournament. The world champion has received great praise for his performance at the Reds and gave an interview in which he reviewed the keys to the team and the importance of Jürgen Klopp, whom he related to Lionel Scaloni.

“I think the most important part that Klopp has is to motivate and accompany the player a lot. In that sense he is quite similar to Scaloni. The truth is that he manages the group very well, he is very close and gives confidence to his players. It is his greatest virtue. Afterwards, tactically he is very clear in everything he wants and for a player it is the most important thing,” said the man from Pampa in statements to the ESPN program Equipo F.

Mac Allister’s words come after the praise he received from the German coach after the match. “He is a super important player for us. He is a wonderful player and guy. I’m happy we have him in Liverpool. He is a really good player, in the first half he played five, but we knew we could move him a little higher and have him play eight, then double five. The defensive part of him is good, even though many people doubted him. We don’t live in dreamland, we had a problem in that position and it worked. Then he scores this kind of goal. The two biggest screams of the season come from him. Then came the free kick (he hit the crossbar), how crazy. What a player,” said Klopp.

On the other hand, Alexis referred to Valentín Barco’s arrival in the Premier League at Brighton & Hove, the team that the player from Argentinos Juniors played for. “I spoke a little with him when he went to the National Team and also with Facu (Buonanotte). People know that I have a special affection for Brighton, I am interested in them being well and knowing how they are, they have been telling me a little and the truth is that I see them well. Regarding Colo, I said that when he moved from Boca to Brighton, he is in the right place, he has the right coach to be able to continue growing and establish himself in this league. Later, the physical thing will come but it will depend solely on him, if he intends to continue growing, being a better player every day, I think he will not have any problem and it will be one hundred percent credit to him and he has to have that desire to learn. I have spoken about it with the coach and with his teammates and they know that he is a good player. From my side I wish him the best and I will be following him. If he needs something he knows he can write to me or talk to me,” he continued.

On the other hand, regarding the exciting definition of the Premier League in which Arsenal and Manchester City are among the main positions, Mac Allister said that he has a dialogue with Julián Álvarez, a forward in the team led by Pep Guardiola.

“Not so much by message, but we do talk when we see each other with the National Team. There is the same old joke: ‘Congratulations, you are now champions.’ The mufada who wants to come from one side and from the other, the Cuti (Romero) who joins in, but yes, obviously there are those jokes, we are in contact and I have a very good relationship with Juli (Álvarez). I always wish him the best, but I hope this Premier is for us. He already won it last year, let him leave us a little bit too,” Alexis concluded about the jokes with his Argentine rivals.
