Liverpool: Liverpool issues – The Arsène Wenger doctrine in reverse. Why Wenger’s modesty and approach?
Srećko Šijaković 
The situation at Liverpool is not great at all, after spending so much and selling your team’s construction from past seasons. Salah’s weak form, Ekitike and Isak on the constant radar, and the strike of all is something that is not suiting Liverpool at all. The whole idea of selling so many players has damaged Liverpool brutally, and the money spent on three players is costing the team very much now for real.
Florian Wirtz, who is one of the best and most productive, and creative players in the world, is under so much criticism, has been spared many games, and was on the bench. His qualities and football knowledge are being ridiculed by weak football analysts and their attitudes. His ball control and cold and brutal passes can be used to destroy his opponents’ defenders and can always make a difference. His lucidity and positioning make him one of the best footballers in the world/ He is the best player in the German national team and a player with so much knowledge and the ability to create chances with brave passes that have eyes. He will be a true German leader in the World Cup next summer, and the game will be created around him.
Wirtz and Isak had a great impact on Chelsea and Manchester United’s matches.
So we have established that Florian Wirtz is a top player, so he is not a problem in Liverpool. Those are only cries of the press and analysts who are not even a little acquainted with football and its aspects.
Isak assists Cody Gakpo against Chelsea
Isak’s magic was given when he assisted Gakpo against Chelsea, and Wirtz’s key pass against Manchester United. These in the purpose of this to big players to make something big. That has been done twice against Manchester United – Wirtz’s pass and Isak’s pass to Gakpo’s goal against Chelsea Football Club for equaling 1:1.
The real problem lies in the fact that Szoboszlai is the spear ten in the game, and he has been playing on the right back, in the middle, literally everywhere.
Those who are criticizing Wirtz’s impact are those who really cannot understand the football game and its basics, and yet they call them selfs football journalists, commentators, and speakers. He is the player who can’t be replaced anywhere; he is always ready for combinations and sending balls near the box.
He also is not a player who is very tall and can lose duels against very firm Premier League midfielders and defenders since he arrived only in July. He has a football masterclass, an engine that can’t be stopped, and is a player who will be one of the best in the world for the next decade.
But many commentators and analysts who are not satisfied with his Premier League run will be speaking quite differently in December, January, and the months to follow. He will then be brilliant for them.
The key Liverpool problem- The reverse Wenger situation
The problem lies behind, and it is something that can be explained by Arsène Wenger’s philosophy, which explains exactly to the nature of this situation. The key problem is manager Arne Slot, but the definition here is that Isak and Wirtz are under great pressure from fans, media, and expectations, and they are now hostages of their transfer fee and can’t perform well. Bigger money gives harder expectations to them; the manager is not protecting them, and it is becoming frustrating.
Bigger money leads to bigger expectations
When you look at Wenger’s doctrine not to buy stars at Arsenal at any cost, and only buying quality players for the team a real prices, and not competing in the market against rivals. He has stood by this doctrine in the whole of his career, and it was a very important way of leading the Arsenal project, untouched by big money, unharmed and clean, not done by overpaying, debts, and making players who fit his vision and mindset at Emirates Stadium.
Arsène Wenger was surely offered a chance to train Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, also surely many other clubs and projects, but he refused these offers and stood constant in his views and ways.
This is what Wenger once said: “One day one club is going to buy one player for 250 million. I think that will be the end of football.”
So money that was spent is damaging the form of Isak, Ekitike, and Wirtz. They have spent 270 million on two players, and it all depends on two players, which is a formula for disaster and nothing more. It is even mathematically very troubling. You can’t pay two players 270 million and expect many good things.
He could have had many players in the team that he had sold during the summer, and they would have done very well for him if only they had stayed in Liverpool, but Arne had a much different idea at the time. He was somewhere else doing something entirely else on some other mission. It will hurt him in December.
For example, Torres never achieved expectations at Chelsea because of the fee of 50 million; he was always under pressure. He never beat the expectations and money.
This is the story of how Arsène Wenger saved football, and Arne Slot has destroyed his own club.
So Arsène Wenger and Arne Slot are two completely opposite minds, opposite mindsets, approaches, and views and methods. Arsène Wenger is completely opposed to the current Liverpool manager.
