- 利物浦 midfielder names toughest opponent
- Player could have been his team-mate
- Transfer saga saw him move to PL rivals
正在說話 球類運動 at the PFA Awards in Manchester, the midfielder revealed that Chelsea‘s Moises Caicedo has given him the sternest tests of his career to date. Mac Allister and Caicedo were team-mates at 布萊頓 and Liverpool tried to sign them both in the same summer in 2023. However, while the former headed to Anfield, the latter was snatched by 切爾西 despite the Reds having a deal agreed in a then-British-record £115 million ($146m) transfer.
Asked his toughest midfield opponent on the red carpet at the PFA Awards ceremony, Mac Allister named Caicedo as his toughest midfield opponent and said: “It always stays the same. Caicedo, I think he’s a very good player.”
The Liverpool man was forced to sit out Monday night’s dramatic win against Newcastle through injury but will hope to be fit in time for Sunday’s blockbuster clash with 兵工廠. He has two meetings with Caicedo coming up – one in the international arena against 厄瓜多 in September and another in the 英超聯賽 when Chelsea host the champions in early October.
