Rangnick Khawatir Werner Senasib dengan Naby Keita di Liverpool

DBasia.news – Isu kepindahan Timo Werner ke Liverpool membuat Direktur Sepak Bola RB Leipzig, Ralf Rangnick angkat bicara. Ia khawatir jika sang bomber akan bernasib sama dengan Naby Keita jika memutuskan pindah ke Anfield.

Kekhawatiran Ralf Rangnick memang cukup beralasan. Naby Keita yang pindah ke Liverpool musim lalu belum mampu menjadi pemain reguler di sana. Ia kerap dirotasi Juergen Klopp. Masalah cedera juga menjadi penyebab lain kegagalannya.

Padahal selama memperkuat RB Leipzig, Keita merupakan sosok tak tergantikan di lini tengah. Ini pula yang ditakutkan Rangnick jika Timo Werner menyusul sang gelandang ke Anfield.

“Keita adalah pemain yang fantastis di sini. Tapi dia terus mengalami kesulitan selama berada di Liverpool. Sejauh ini dia belum kembali ke level permainan seperti saat masih memperkuat Leipzig,” kata pria yang digosipkan akan hengkang ke AC Milan itu kepada Sky Sports, Minggu (10/5/2020).

“Lingkungan sekitar pasti akan sangat tepat untuk Timo. Itu masalahnya di sini. Tapi kita semua tahu Inggris sangatlah berbeda. Dia harus melihat bagaimana kesulitan yang dialami Keita selama di sana dan saya harap dia memikirkan itu baik-baik,” ia menambahkan.

Kemungkinan striker Jerman ke Liverpool memang disuarakan langsung olehnya. Beberapa waktu lalu dia pernah berujar sangat ingin bermain di bawah kendali Juergen Klopp.

13. Rangnick Werner Worried the Same Fate with Naby Keita at Liverpool

The issue of Timo Werner’s move to Liverpool made RB Leipzig’s Football Director Ralf Rangnick speak up. He was worried that the bomber would suffer the same fate as Naby Keita if he decides to move to Anfield.

Ralf Rangnick’s concern was well-founded. Naby Keita, who moved to Liverpool last season, has not been able to become a regular player there. He is often rotated by Juergen Klopp. The problem of injury is also another cause of his failed performance.

Yet while strengthening RB Leipzig, Keita was an irreplaceable figure in the midfield area. This is also what feared Rangnick if Timo Werner followed the midfielder to Anfield.

“Keita is a fantastic player here. But he continued to experience difficulties while in Liverpool. So far he has not returned to the level of play like when he was still strengthening Leipzig,” said the man who is rumored to be leaving AC Milan to Sky Sports on Sunday (05/10/2020).

“The environment will definitely be very appropriate for Timo. That’s the problem here. But we all know Britain is very different. He had to see how difficult Keita experienced while there and I hope he thought about it carefully, “he added.

The possibility of the German striker to Liverpool was voiced directly by him. Some time ago he had said he really wanted to play under the control of Juergen Klopp.
