Compared with the main selection lineup that won the English League Cup recently, Liverpool has made many changes in this campaign, but it is still more than enough to face Norwich, the bottom team in the Premier League. Minamino Takumi responded with a cross from Oliji in the penalty area in the 27th minute, and in the 39th minute, he grasped the opponent’s failure to clear the siege and hooked the net. The Red Army finally defeated the “Canary” who recovered a goal in 76 minutes with 2:1, and continued to advance to the “Quadruple Champion”.
After the game, Gaop spoke highly of the 27-year-old Minamino, saying: “He has given up his best performance since joining. Of course, the focus of this game is his two goals, but his positioning and speed are also important. Threats opponents from time to time. Although the wind was strong during the game, he did not stop him from showing excellent ball-handling skills.” Minano moved to Liverpool from Salzburg in early 2020. He was loaned to Southampton last year and has won this season. 9 goals, including 7 goals in the FA Cup and League Cup.
Gao Pu continued to say that Minamino has a top performance because he has a top personality. “A top personality means that when he is needed, he will not give up, which is why he can become a Liverpool player.” Vice-captain James Miner agreed: “Nan Ye is very patient, he keeps working hard, he can contribute every time he wears the armor, and he is very good even in training. I admire him very much.”
In addition, Gao Pu has hinted that he will leave the team following the contract expires in 2024, and now he suspects that he will change his original intention. He responded to the Red Army’s question before the game: “I really don’t know, our boss understands that this will take time to implement. Obviously, it will take some time for both sides.”
