Klopp once warned Coutinho: Joining King Saren, you will only be an ordinary player

Arnold left Liverpool and joined Real Madrid freely. I couldn't help but remember what Klopp warned Coutinho back then. In January 2018, before Coutinho joined Barcelona, ​​then Liverpool coach Klopp warned Coutinho: If you join Real Saren, you will only be an ordinary player. In the first half of the 2018-19 season, Coutinho aroused Barcelona's interest with his outstanding performance at Liverpool. In order to join Barcelona, ​​Coutinho caused a scandal of strikeout. At that time, Liverpool coach Klopp and Coutinho had a long talk and persuaded him: "Stay in Liverpool, fans may set up a statue for you, but if you join King Saren, you will only be an ordinary player."

As we all know, Klopp's warning and persuasion failed. In January 2018, Coutinho officially joined Barcelona for a sky-high price of 142 million euros. But in Barcelona, ​​Coutinho's experience was bumpy, the process was complicated, and the result was a failure. Just one and a half seasons after joining Barcelona, ​​Coutinho was loaned to Bayern, and then loaned to Villa, and was eventually completely abandoned.

At Liverpool, Coutinho was the undisputed offensive core. He not only had unlimited firepower on the offensive end, but he could not even participate in defense on the defensive end. Klopp and Liverpool's trust in him perfectly fulfilled his talent. At the same time, the shortcomings of insufficient defense were covered up by the active running and help of his teammates, and thus achieved performance and data that exceeded his personal strength.

However, after joining Barcelona, ​​there are Messi and Suarez on the attacking line. Coutinho obviously cannot continue to serve as the core of the offensive, and it is even more impossible not to participate in defense. His personal performance is naturally not comparable to when he played for Liverpool. Judging from the data, Coutinho's 20 goals and 12 assists in 76 games before being loaned to Bayern were not bad, but because in Barcelona, ​​he is no longer a little baby.

Arnold's situation is similar to Coutinho. After joining Real Madrid, if Arnold's defense cannot be significantly improved, will Real Madrid's head coach, big-name teammates and fans unconditionally tolerate him? Look at Mbappe, look at Vinicius, look at Bellingham, Arnold's tragic ending is settled!
