In a recent interview, Everton’s striker Richarlison responded to Pep Guardiola’s claims and stated that Liverpool is hated by everyone in England. He also added that although people love Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk, he is not even amongst the best defenders in the world as there are players like Sergio Ramos, Thiago silva, and Marquinhos.
Richarlison clearly hit back at Guardiola’s comments about Liverpool “ being wanted to lift the PL cup”. According to him, Van Dijk is over-rated by everybody and is certainly not on the levels of Ramos or Silva.
“Everybody in England hates Liverpool. Everyone is obsessed with Van Dijk, but he’s not the best defender in the world. Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, and Sergio Ramos are all better than him”, said Richarlison after Guardiola’s comments.
Guardiola commented after the match against Newcastle that Klopp’s side is loved by everyone in England and they want Liverpool to win the cup this season.
He mentioned that Liverpool is one the bests in Europe after they reached the Champions League final but feels that they have a bad record in the Premier League after winning just once in past thirty years. He adds that they will not stop their run for winning the title as they are in a good place to win the cup.
“Of course because Liverpool has an incredible history in Europe. Not in Premier Leagues, they have won one in 30 years, but it’s not a problem at all. The situation is what it is, we have to do nine points, maybe six depending on what happens in the next two games,” said Guardiola.
Now is Wednesday, a real final for us. We go to try to win. Our destiny is in our own hands, we have to think about ourselves. One point, three points, nothing changes”, added the Spaniard.
Liverpool is still three points behind Manchester City in the race to the Premier League 2021-22 title
Manchester City is undoubtedly the favorite team to defend the Premier League title as Liverpool is currently three points behind them. The Citizens also have a good goal-scoring deferential as compared to Liverpool’s total goals scored this season, which might be needed by them if the climax turns its direction.
Liverpool will look to win its remaining games dominatingly but if the Citizens don’t drop any more points, then they will lift the Premier League title for the fourth time in the last five years,
