Klopp's "kids" are making many teams dream

Just 4 days after winning against Chelsea to win the English League Cup, Liverpool made the whole world admire when they defeated Southampton in the FA Cup with a young squad. The future of The Reds is truly extremely bright.

How talented is Klopp?

Before Southampton, coach Jurgen Klopp fielded a squad that even die-hard Liverpool fans did not know exactly who it was. Except for a few names that are quite familiar thanks to regularly playing in the Premier League this season such as Jarell Quansah or Conor Bradley, the remaining Bobby Clark (19 years old), James McConnell (19) and Lewis Koumas (18) are all are quite new faces.

Liverpool clearly used the U21 squad instead of the powerful first team. But if you follow what happened at Anfield, many people will probably mistakenly think that these are the top stars of The Reds, instead of young boys who are still in the process of apprenticing. Although it must be admitted that Southampton created more notable opportunities in the first 45 minutes of the match, Liverpool's young players also did not play badly. They never stopped running, actively pressed and coordinated very well.

Liverpool flourished with a group of young players

Koumas' opening goal in the 44th minute is a typical example. Clark confidently took the ball from the left wing and ran straight into the center of Southampton, then passed to Koumas in front of the penalty area. After controlling the first step well, the 18-year-old striker dribbled the ball a few more times and then coolly finished the shot into the near corner, leaving the Soton goalkeeper completely helpless. Who would have thought that it was a tackle by two players born in 2005, because it was so bold and calm.

In the second half, Klopp sent three other young stars onto the field, Jayden Danns, Treymaurice Nyoni and Kaide Gordon. Among these, Danns made a strong impression with a double goal. If the first goal showed excellent ability to move without the ball and finish, then in the goal that sealed Liverpool's 3-0 victory, the 18-year-old striker demonstrated his ability to sniff out goals extremely keenly. . He stepped in just in time after his teammate's kick was pushed away by Southampton's goalkeeper, ending an unforgettable night at Anfield.

Watching Liverpool's young team compete in the past few days, it feels like a new vitality is flowing at the club. The Reds no matter what young player they introduce, they will make an impression, more or less. All show that Liverpool's academy is doing a very good job of nurturing and nurturing promising future stars. If everything goes in the right direction, Liverpool can completely enter the "self-sufficient" stage, thereby saving quite a bit of money, and can even profit from the transfer market, the same way as Man City. have done in the past.

In addition, Liverpool will certainly not forget the contributions of Jurgen Klopp - who is really cool with young players. During his time at Anfield, the German coach always tried to find ways to create the best possible conditions for his "domestic chickens" to play on the field to gain experience. He placed absolute trust in them, and now reaps sweet fruits. So who will Klopp introduce next? It could be Zac Jagielka - son of Phil Jagielka - former captain of Everton, or Prince Kobe Cisse, son of former striker Djibril Cisse - who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2004/05.

It can be said that Liverpool has a "nursery" that makes many big teams in Europe, not just the Premier League, jealous. The only concern right now is whether Jurgen Klopp's successor coach can continue to promote this wonderful legacy. That is the story of the future, but now, the young stars of The Reds are helping the home team "open their eyes".
