Joel Matip: The Liverpool unsung hero setting the world on fire


What a player Joel Matip has turn out to be be. The former Schalke 04 defender has grown in stature and class and without doubt, one of the best defender in the world. 

 His partnership with Van Dijk have been sensational, both men have created the perfect platform for Liverpool to win 16 consecutive matches on the spin.

 Liverpool are yet to lose a game in their opening seven matches of the season and that success is completely down to Matip and his defensive partners who ensures they limit the number of goals going in while contributing upfront. 

 They're times this season when Van Dijk have really struggled to impose himself on the game but thanks to the presence of Matip whose tackles are timely; aerial prowess sensational and ball distribution phenomenal, Van Dijk have been left off the hook. 

 What makes Matip very special is that he is the only defender in the world who dribbles his way past players when surging forward. Matip can dribble past 3 to 4 players while blazing through before laying off an incisive pass to score a goal. 

 He has scored 3 goals this season and provided 1 assists in all competition this season. Statistically, he has won more aerial duels, physical battles and won more interceptions than any other defender in Europe's five top leagues. 

 He is the best piece of business Liverpool have done in a long time and his manager Jurgen Klopp recently admitted the 26- year-old  Cameroonian is a world class defender. 

 This season Liverpool are hoping to win the Premier League title along with retaining the Champions League and if their to achieve that fate, they've to keep Joel Matip  fresh and motivated.

Should Manchester City pay £80m for Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu?

Leicester City has reportedly rejected Manchester City's £38m bid to sign their highly rated defender Caglar Soyuncu.  According to the Sun, the foxes want City to up their bid to £80-90m for the 23-year-old Turkish international who they feel possess similar quality to Harry Maguire {£80m} and Virgil van Dijk {£75m}.  Soyuncu is without doubt a top football who is growing in strength and stature under the tutelage of Brendan Rodgers. But with City struggling in their defensive unit due to injuries to their top defenders Aymeric Laporte and John Stones, the need to sign a defender is now a priority.  But signing Soyuncu for £80m looks too desperate and a to many a complete waste of money.  So should City sign him for £80m or less?

Liverpool is also an attractive option but they've to prove this season they're good enough to compete with Manchester City on the domestic fronts.  Speaking to talkSPORT, O'Hara said: "I think if he is going to go it's going to be Man City; it's only Man City, for me, who can probably get him.  "Aguero is coming to the end and Jesus is a different type of player, so if they are to get somebody it would be Harry Kane.
