da betsul: Whilst many Reds fans are eyeing up the coming summer transfer window as a major turning point in Jurgen Klopp’s current stint in the Liverpool dug-out, the 2015/16 campaign has arguably proven one of great stagnation for the Anfield faithful, regardless of the club’s high hopes for the 2016/17.
da bet7: Yet although the vast majority of Klopp’s current contingency have ultimately failed to set the Premier League alight on Merseyside in 2015/16, one player to buck that particular trend and seemingly impress on most given occasions this season, nonetheless arrives in the shape of current Germany international and growing Anfield favourite – Emre Can.
But does this 22-year-old battler really represent the new midfield juggernaut of the ever competitive English game, or has the subsequent hype surrounding Liverpool’s emerging no.23 been overstated?
Well, despite impressing down on Merseyside in recent weeks particularly, life in the English top-flight certainly hasn’t always proved smooth sailing for the midfielder.
When Emre Can was previously utilized as a marauding centre-back under Brendan Rodgers at Anfield, the former Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen star initially resembled something close to a fish out of water.
His overall touch seemed to let him down on several major occasions, the German international was seemingly targeted in the aerial battles time and time again – and although Emre Can’s potential versatility did seem like a commendable attribute at the end of the day, Liverpool looked distinctly vulnerable with now 22-year-old manning their back-line.
Yet since Jurgen Klopp has given Can the freedom to express himself in the middle of the park down at Anfield this season, the midfielder has subsequently blossomed into a truly effective player. The entire Reds starting XI feels a great deal more balanced with Can heavily involved in the action, which can only spur the former Bundesliga star onto greater things in the upcoming future.
The ex-Bayern Munich youngster now represents a real leader out on the pitch for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Although several first team Liverpool players have arguably shied away from their most important duties this season, Emre Can has stood up to be counted on a really impressive basis, highlighting the 22-year-old German international as a real star in the making among the current Anfield faithful.
The relevant praise to come his way this season therefore remains completely justified. Opposing players seem increasingly unable to deal with Can’s physical presence all across the pitch these days, which despite proving predictably influential in one-on-one battles, has seemingly failed to restrict the Liverpool man from a technical point of view as well.
This is a player who simply possesses a really exciting future in the English game if he can continue to ply his trade on Merseyside at such a consistently high level. Although several of Liverpool’s most significant rivals could easily come in for the German midfielder’s signature in the not too distant future, Emre Can could potentially carve out a long-term relationship in front of the Anfield spectators if he can show a little bit of loyalty.
Can may have certainly begun his Premier League career in distinctly shaky circumstances, but since establishing himself as a first team regular down on Merseyside this term, the future remains very bright for this up and coming Reds star.
