Klopp vs. Bielsa: A battle which can renew Liverpool and Leeds’ rivalry
By Varun Aithal
Should Klopp really worry about Leeds?
Football is a game where under-estimating the opposition is the biggest mistake that teams fall victim to. A manager like Jurgen Klopp would be knowing that when the 2020/21 campaign starts.
Jurgen Klopp should be very worried about Leeds’ wide attacks when his fullbacks are employed high up the pitch. TAA can be the weakest link when Liverpool concedes the ball as his defensive record isn’t great compared to other fullbacks in the league.
Liverpool plays possession-based football. The Merseysiders’ possession percentage increased from 58.4 to 66.6 in the post-pandemic games. Against Bielsa, Klopp might think of fielding his top midfielders who can cut open any defense.
Amidst all the random probabilities, it will be a mouth-watering fixture to watch when the sides renew their hostilities after 16 long seasons.
