The Major reason revealed why Liverpool can kickstart their champions League match against Ajax with a Massive win – ‘i would be very surprised’
Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt has backed Jurgen Klopp to get the Reds back to winning ways.
Both locally and internationally, the new season has been challenging for the Merseyside club.
The Reds are currently seventh in the table, six points behind league leaders Arsenal, having won just two of their six Premier League games.
In the Champions League on Tuesday at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp’s team will play Dutch powerhouse Ajax in an effort to avenge a 4-1 defeat to Napoli.
Kuyt has given Klopp his support in his quest to turn around the Reds’ season following a disastrous start.
The former international for the Netherlands has also maintained that Ajax will struggle to compete against the Reds at Anfield.
As stated by The Mirror, Kuyt said:
“I am confident that Klopp will get Liverpool back on track. He is still searching for the right mechanism in midfield and in attack.
“That doesn’t surprise me after the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich and the arrival of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez. They are two completely different types of striker.
This man has taken us back to the promised land after years in the wilderness, lost his mother while not being able to attend her funeral & been badly let down financially by the owners to sign players.
“If the club is having a bad time, like this period, the crowd often creates an atmosphere of invincibility.
“I would be very surprised if Ajax can play well against Liverpool under that intense pressure.
“At Anfield, I have seen even the greatest teams with the most experienced top players lose the plot. As a Liverpool player, you’re boosted by the noise.
“Then an energy is released and there’s no stopping you.”
“On the pitch, there is no escaping the noise. Because of the way the crowd reacts, you even become alert to a chance or when a dangerous situation threatens. They help you as a Liverpool player to anticipate certain situations.
“Everyone now sees Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Bayern Munich as the biggest contenders for the Champions League. But watch out because Liverpool will join that list of candidates. I’m convinced of that.”
