Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has praised Wataru Endo for his performance in Wednesday night’s Europa League match against Toulouse.
The French team, who were not quite talented enough to compete, was crushed five goals to none by the Reds. The players for Liverpool had an easy evening, and Endo took advantage of the circumstances by scoring the team’s first goal ever. Klopp was astounded by his performance.
Wataru Endo of Liverpool, according to Ursula Klopp, went “absolutely insane” against Toulouse.
Wataru Endo was bought by Liverpool from Stuttgart in the summer, however the deal did not win over many supporters.
When the Reds made the decision to try to sign the Japan international, they had lost out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, and he was seen by some as a panic acquisition.
Though he is obviously not a world-beater in his position, Endo is a talented player. He played perhaps his greatest game wearing a Liverpool jersey last night, having started in the center of the park.
The 30-year-old was exceptional beyond measure. He was excellent with the ball, dominated the game from the middle of the park, and even managed to score a goal.
His performance last night was praised by Liverpool supporters, and in his post-game news conference, Klopp singled him out for special recognition.
‘Huge’ Everton update revealed today
‘Huge’ Everton update revealed today
Football Insider knows that Everton will find out the outcome of their FFP hearing in the coming days, and potentially even today. This decision will have significant implications for the club’s future.
The Toffees’ hearing with Premier League officials started last Tuesday, October 17. The decision is expected to be made either at the beginning of next week or on Friday, October 27.
The Merseyside club, which posted losses of £372 million over the preceding three seasons—well over the league’s £105 million cap—is under investigation for spending violations.
According to The Telegraph, in the event that Everton is found to have violated profit and sustainability regulations, the Premier League has proposed a record-breaking 12-point penalties.
But even if Everton were found guilty at the upcoming end of the hearing, their problems wouldn’t stop there.
Burnley, Leicester City, and Leeds United have sent a letter to Everton stating that, should the club be proven guilty, they want to sue for £300 million.
The three teams, who were all demoted throughout Everton’s probe, are requesting payment for their Championship demotions.
A guilty finding would probably result in a significant punishment for Everton, escalating the possibility of a £300 million court dispute.
The outcome of the FFP hearing may potentially affect 777 Partners’ potential acquisition of the team.
In September, a £500 million deal was reached by the US investment company to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s share of the team.
The Premier League’s Directors’ and Owners’ Test is now being used to evaluate them; any more fines or penalties might cause the process to drag out.
Also, Kieran Maguire destroys 777 Partners with the revelation of a £30 million Everton source.
