Irving: I am optimistic about Liverpool s defending the Premier League, the only question is whether the lineup can be stable after changes

Hupu, August 21, recently, Liverpool legend Irving talked about Liverpool's signing operations this summer in an interview with the media Echo. In this regard, the former England international also believes that the Reds can complete the Premier League defending this season.

Irving said: "Liverpool's signings this summer are quite active. I don't know the specific data and statistics, but I don't remember which team made so many changes in the summer after winning the league championship last season."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect this to happen. I thought there would be only a few small changes, but there are still many changes in Liverpool's lineup, and there are more changes waiting for them. Obviously, the key question is: Can you keep that kind of stability after making so many changes in the summer at once?"

" There is time to give the answer. It's extremely exciting. The fans are also very excited. I was already optimistic that Liverpool will win the championship again this season. The only question is whether you can make so many changes and everything will go smoothly. Looking at these players, I'm very happy with Liverpool's signings. None of them makes me feel uncertain. Ekitic performed very well in the first two games - I really like him. Wiltz is a world-class player, so it's exciting to see him fit into the team. As for the two fullbacks, there are several positions that have to be adjusted. "

" Obviously , If Arnold leaves, you have to strengthen the roster. The club generally believes that Robertson also needs some support, so signing Kolkz is a very good move. "

"I think the only deal I am still not sure about is Dias' departure. I don't know if he wants to leave himself, Liverpool wants to send him away, or the offer is too tempting. This deal makes me think: Is it really necessary to sell him? Because Liverpool's lineup is a bit thin now. Unfortunately, we all know the situation of Jota, and of course Nunes. For the latter I agree to his departure, but Dias The situation... I'm not sure. No matter what, Liverpool may still be short of people. After so many changes, they may be two or three players away from their ideal final lineup. "

" Ekitic has adapted quite well, and so far I have a good impression of him. He can do anything. He has a strong ability to take the ball. I interviewed him a few days ago after the game, and he was a little dissatisfied with his performance, which made me feel quite interesting. "

" His pullback support is done well, and he can create threats from behind. He is fast, has strong awareness, and has great skills under his feet."
