This year again, Liverpool decided to break the bank during the summer transfer window. This time, it is for Bradley Barcola that the financiers of the Mersey club fell for. A little over 143 million euros to buy him from Paris Saint-Germain, with the hope of seeing the international tricolor shine more than ever under his new colors. For the moment, this is not the case, but the Reds coach believes it.
And fortunately, since the adventure between the two parties is only just beginning. Since wearing the colors of Liverpool, Bradley Barcola has taken part in six matches in all competitions. A total of 336 minutes, but still no goal or assist. Nothing to worry about Andoni Iraola.
The Liverpool coach proclaimed it loud and clear in front of the press who questioned him on the eve of the Champions League match on the field of the Austrian club LASK. “He’s a good player who plays well and produces a lot. But sometimes we are too focused on statistics. »
Bradley Barcola, progression announced
Also referring to Florian Wirtz’s difficult start to the season, Andoni Iraola continued. “We know the level of these two players who will undoubtedly perform well. I was actually happy with a lot of things that Bradley showed the other day. There were situations, even if we did not conclude them. But I have 100% confidence in him and ‘Flo’. »
The tactician finally asked for a little time to let Bradley Barcola continue to get his bearings. “He’s the last one to arrive. The more he plays, the more connections he makes with those playing alongside him. And yes, it will be better. » The former OL player will in any case have a new opportunity to prove his coach right this Wednesday.
