Liverpool and its Preparations Before the Match on July 26
Liverpool has recently signed eight new players to their team, who will accompany them in the pre-season league. Moreover, seven of them- Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman, and Armin Pecsi- have played in the last two matches with the team. However, a new player has been appointed by the team, the striker Hugo Ekitike, who will be playing his first match. The team will be looking closely at him for any contribution in the game, which must’ve built pressure on him.
Apart from that, one of the team’s contributing players, Alexis Mac Allister, has a severe injury and will be absent. This will surely affect the team in their first Pre-season League Tour to Hong Kong, Asia. The team consists of many players who have not experienced the matches of several sports tournaments. The goalkeeper, Allison Becker, is an excellent player but lacks the experience of the pre-season matches. Moreover, their striker, Darwin Nunez, has scored half of the goals in the two games in the pre-season league for Liverpool.
