Klopp Does Not Know the Right Position for Minamino at Liverpool

Takumi Minamino has officially joined Liverpool. However, Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp is still thinking about the right position for the Japanese player.

Recruited at a price of 7.27 million Paun from RB Salzburg, Minamino expanded Klopp's options in attack, especially in the right wing sector. In Liverpool itself there are Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri who usually occupy that position.

But Minamino is a versatile player. The Cerezo Osaka academy graduate can also be played as a center forward, left winger, and attacking midfielder.
Therefore, Klopp is still considering where Minamino will be installed. He did not want to rush, because the player also had not yet joined training with the team.
Calm down, calm down first, we will see it, "Klopp said when asked where he would install Minamino, as quoted by the club's official website.

"We know about Takumi, he is very suitable for us in many ways. First, his football technique, it's clear. Then his decision making in a narrow space, his speed, his ability to regain the ball. The matter of counter-pressing, he's also used to it, because Salzburg's game philosophy is similar to ours. "

"That's all good things, but we also have to see how he will adapt when he comes and can train with us."

"How do we put him on the team in the short term? If it's long-term, it's clear he will help us. I want to work with him immediately, but there are still three matches before Takumi really joins us, so I still have time to think where he is will be placed, "he added.
