Jurgen Klopp has jokingly criticized Liverpool after saying he will leave at the end of the season. He said they were “too good.” This means the team will leave safe in the knowledge that they are well prepared for the future. Most of them tell the truth with humor as they tell it. It is clear that Klopp wants to leave Liverpool due to ill health. He could leave in the same way he left Borussia Dortmund last season.
However, even he did not expect the club’s situation to improve so much. Liverpool are yet to really buy into that scenario, but there is still a chance that Klopp will stick with the back four. We will have to invest a lot of money next summer. But, unexpectedly, Klopp has given his successor some elite options in defence. In every game he plays, Jarell Quanza looks like a real player.
He played another 90 minutes in the Premier League game against Burnley and never put a foot wrong. As the sample size increases, the data becomes more and more impressive. The first thing to note is that Quanza belongs to the “air rule” school. Remarkably, Liverpool have five of the top ten players in the league in terms of aerial win percentage (the other four being Virgil van Dijk, Jo. Gomes, Joel Matip and Ibrahim Konate) and their academy graduates have a pass rate of of 72.4%. But in reality, Klopp seems to have almost used the code to discover Van Dijk’s clone. Quanza managed to make the ball. Only two players who have played in more than one Premier League game this season have attempted more passes than the 21-year-old.

Roy Keane hits back at Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher after criticizing Arsenal Despite the end of the season, Klopp has left his successor in a truly enviable position. Liverpool look set to compete at the highest level for years to come. This season, Klopp has focused more than usual on giving opportunities to youngsters, which is a particular theme in defence.
Just a few months ago, this looked like a part of the game that Liverpool would need to invest heavily in next summer. But, unexpectedly, Klopp has given his successor some elite options in defence.
Jarell Quanza looks real in every game he plays. He played another 90 minutes in the Premier League game against Burnley and never put a foot wrong.

Liverpool’s Jarrell Kwanza thanks the fans after the Premier League match between Liverpool and Burnley at Anfield in Liverpool, England on February 10, 2024. Jarell Kwanza has been front and center in Liverpool’s progress thanks to several key features.
In 3,990 minutes, Cuanza attempted an average of 104 passes per game. Rodri and (perhaps surprisingly) Lewis Dunk are the only regulars who can pull this off. Of course, it’s still not the biggest sample size, so a comparison with Kevin De Bruyne might be helpful.
He’s also played a few games on a team with the most possessions in the league (2.6), but his 91.2 pass attempts are no match for Quansah. Anyone can try to get a permit, but the same story applies to completed permits. De Bruyne takes more risks because he’s in a higher position, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him.
