“Messi can do amazing things, but Joe can’t do better.”It’s been 13-and-a-half years since Joe Cole joined Liverpool on a free transfer from Chelsea, but even before that fateful incident at Anfield, Kopites never forgot the famous quote above. “He blew us away in practice by doing a golf ball trick that most players can’t even do in soccer.”
Talisman club captain Steven Gerrard continued when he called his new team-mate a few years ago. . “I can’t wait to win Joe [Player of the Year] this season.”Unfortunately, demand has inevitably declined. When Liverpool announced Cole’s signing, fans were delighted, believing their club had pulled off a move, but it soon became clear he was back to his previous heights following the ACL injury he suffered at Chelsea.
He must have received such praise from Gerrard in the first place. Of course, even if there is no injury from Andrew, Cole had problems compared to the biggest player. Perhaps such a dissatisfaction would not have contributed to his liver career. Herlds played a real role and decided for the first time to come to Liverpool.
In the first international international UK, he smiled at his previous colleagues when he was memorable. “Stevie’s point is that maybe nobody can do what Messi can do, but I think I was that player.” Cole spoke to the ECHO on behalf of TNT Sports, who are exclusively broadcasting the game. .
He can dribble, he has the ability to catch the ball in tight spaces, etc. “Steve played a big part in me wanting to come to Liverpool. I loved playing with Steve in England. I had a good combination with him and I loved playing with him, so the opportunity to start at club level was a big draw to play with him. But it didn’t work for me.”Cole was the signing that caught the most attention from Liverpool fans in the summer of 2010, but the January 2011 transfer window was a different story altogether.
After new owners FSG sacked Hodgson along with club legend Kenny Dalglish, the club signed Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll for £57.7m in one of the Premier League’s best transfer windows. But they also allowed Fernando Torres to join Chelsea for a record £50m, which devastated fans at the time. Torres is reluctant to talk about a move to Chelsea with Cole, but the midfielder sees parallels between his problems at Anfield and the Spaniard’s problems at Stamford Bridge.
He reflected on the huge impact these deals had on the club at the time and said working with Suarez left him with one major regret. “It was a big change. You know, I don’t remember Fernando talking to me,” he said. “I think we’ve had a few short conversations, but it’s not like the players don’t really do that, they don’t really talk about it.”He had a difficult time at Chelsea. I look very similar to me. His body did not completely agree with him. But he set goals to achieve a big goal for Chelsea.
