Premier League Salah erlöst Liverpool

Premier League Salah erlöst Liverpool, Arsenal stolpert

Nach zwei Pflichtspielniederlagen hat der FC Liverpool dank Mohamed Salah wieder gewinnen können. Arsenals Trainer Unai Emery verzichtete im Londoner Derby auf den fitten Mesut Özil - und verlor erneut.

Brighton & Hove Albion - Liverpool 0:1 (0:0)

Tabellenführer FC Liverpool hat mit einem knappen Sieg in der Premier League zurück in die Erfolgsspur gefunden. Bei Brighton & Hove Albion setzte sich das Team von Trainer Jürgen Klopp 1:0 (0:0) durch und baute den Vorsprung vor Verfolger und Titelverteidiger Manchester City zumindest vorläufig auf sieben Punkte aus.

Das Siegtor für die Reds erzielte der Ägypter Mohamed Salah in der 50. Minute per Strafstoß. Der frühere Ingolstädter Pascal Gross hatte zuvor im Strafraum an Salahs Trikot gezogen und Afrikas Fußballer des Jahres zu Fall gebracht. Das über weite Strecken der Partie enttäuschende Liverpool verteidigte das knappe Ergebnis durch die umkämpfte Schlussphase und überstand auch die fünf Minuten Nachspielzeit.

Nach der ersten Liga-Niederlage der Saison bei Titelverteidiger Manchester City und dem Pokal-Aus bei den Wolverhampton Wanderers feierten die Reds in Brighton ihren ersten Pflichtspielsieg in diesem Jahr. Meister Manchester City kann den Abstand zur Klopp-Elf am Montag mit einem Sieg gegen Wolverhampton wieder auf vier Punkte verkürzen.

West Ham United - FC Arsenal 1:0 (0:0)

Der FC Arsenal hatte bereits zuvor im Kampf um die Champions-League-Plätze einen weiteren Rückschlag erlitten. Die Gunners kassierten eine 0:1 (0:0)-Niederlage im Londoner Derby bei West Ham United und haben nach ihrer fünften Saisonniederlage als Tabellenfünfter bereits sechs Punkte Rückstand auf den Vierten FC Chelsea, der 2:1 gegen Newcastle United gewann.

Die Gäste mit dem deutschen Torwart Bernd Leno, der beim Gegentreffer durch Declan Rice (48.) eine unglückliche Figur abgab, bestimmten die ersten 30 Minuten, anschließend wurden die Hammers um ihren französischen Neuzugang Samir Nasri aber immer stärker.

Nach dem Rückstand erhöhten die Gäste, in deren Kader Mesut Özil einmal mehr fehlte, den Druck. Vor allem Torjäger Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang vergab aber beste Möglichkeiten für die Gunners. Am Ende feierten die Hausherren ihren ersten Heimsieg gegen Arsenal seit 2006.

Im Anschluss musste sich Trainer Emery kritische Fragen in Bezug auf Mesut Özil gefallen lassen. Er hatte den 30-Jährigen nicht in den Kader für das London-Derby berufen, obwohl Özil nach Kniebeschwerden wieder mittrainiert hatte und fit war.

"Ich habe die Spieler ausgewählt, die ich für dieses Match für am besten geeignet hielt", sagte Emery nach der Niederlage. "Die Spieler, die heute gespielt haben, hatten es verdient, in diesem Spiel dabei zu sein - ob wir gewonnen oder verloren haben.

Liverpool CONFIRM Alisson becker transfer in world record £65m deal

Jurgen Klopp defends Liverpool's £65m fee for Alisson becker: 'It's the market, that's how it is... it’s something we have to do'
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool could not miss the chance to sign one of the world’s best goalkeepers after completing the £65 million record transfer of Alisson.


Liverpool CONFIRM Alisson transfer in world record £65m deal


Alisson becker said he made the move to Anfield from Roma to take an ‘upward step’ in his career. Klopp acknowledged the size of the fee – the most ever paid for a goalkeeper – but felt his club had to act.

“At one point in the last few weeks it came up, the opportunity to sign (one) of the world’s best goalkeepers,” said Klopp.

“Then it’s not a long thought, to be honest, it’s only that you need to have a little talk with the owners. They were quite excited, so we did it.

“I think it’s something we have to do. He has nothing to do with the price, we have nothing to do with the price, it’s the market, that’s how it is and we will not think a lot about it.

“It shows the value of goalkeepers, of course, in this moment. We are really happy to have him here now.

“He has a lot of experience in the last few years, in Europe and in Rome, he’s played an outstandingly high level and he did the same at the World Cup.

“We got him here because of his existing strengths, which is in all goalkeeper departments the highest level.”

Liverpool will pay a guaranteed £53.8m, with a further £9m in add-ons based on Premier League and European success.




Alisson’s first club in Brazil, Internacional, received £2.2m from the deal.

“I'm really happy, it’s a dream come true to wear such a prestigious shirt for a club of this size that is used to always winning,” said Alisson. “In terms of my life and my career, it’s a huge step for me being part of this club and this family.

“You can be certain that I’ll give my all.”

Liverpool have already moved to recoup some of the cost, agreeing a £12.5m deal with Leicester for Wales international Danny Ward. Liverpool have also guaranteed 20 per cent of any future sale of the keeper.

Leicester’s move for Ward means Kasper Schmeichel is facing an uncertain future. The club have stressed Ward's anticipated arrival is not to replace the Dane. However, Claude Puel is understood to have clashed with Schmeichel towards the end of last season and Ward could come in as Leicester's No 1.

Leicester expect interest in Schmeichel this summer but are under no  pressure to sell after the £60m departure of Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City. Ward was pulled out of Liverpool's friendly against Blackburn on Thursday - where he was set to start - as a move to the King Power Stadium edges closer.

Meanwhile, Klopp has revealed he had to talk Jordan Henderson into taking a full summer holiday after the Liverpool captain asked to report back to training early.

Henderson has three weeks off following the World Cup, which means he is not due back to work until August 5.

That means he has been effectively ruled out of the opening weekend fixture with West Ham as Klopp wants his players to complete a full pre-season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold may be given permission to return a week earlier, partly due to the fact he did not play much in Russia, but also because of his age making fatigue less of a concern in the season ahead.

But Klopp insisted on Henderson having a break.

“It was a hard fight to convince him that he needed a holiday,” said Klopp.

“I knew it would happen. On the phone I said 'crazy'. Jordan needs a holiday so that means August 5 he will be back. Dejan (Lovren) had a party in Croatia and played a day later so he will be back on August 6. That would mean five days training after three weeks holiday.

“I hope we are in a situation where we don't need to think about using these two (against West Ham).

“With Trent I have a special agreement. He wanted to be in earlier as well. As he's very young I said, 'Okay, have two weeks holiday and then we'll speak and see'. If you asked Trent he would be good to join us in two weeks. But I'm not sure I will do that. I want to have them desperately but the season is really long. It will be difficult to involve them against West Ham but I don't want to make that line up today.”

Free-Scoring Liverpool to End  Real Madrid Winning Run

Real Madrid, Los Blancos may be aiming for a hat-trick of trophies, as well as a fourth Champions League win in five years, but there is a vulnerability at the back Liverpool are sure to exploit.

After conceding three during the wild quarter-final win over Juventus, Real Madrid shipped the same number of goals during their 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern. It's hardly ideal preparation for facing a Liverpool side resembling something of a scoring juggernaut in this season's tournament.

No two players have found the net as often in the Champions League this season as Salah and Ronaldo. So it's no stretch to predict each will etch his name on the scoresheet in the final.
