Amsterdam –

Fabinho returned to appear neat when he became an impromptu center-back. There is a chance the Brazilian player will be a substitute for as long Virgil van Dijk Absent.

Liverpool lost Van Dijk until the end of this season because the player suffered a knee ligament injury in the match against Everton last week. With Joel Matip and Joe Gomez prone to injury, Liverpool are arguably a center-back crisis.

Fabinho will have time to do acrobatic action when throwing the ball that is about to enter Adrian’s goal. Praise makes fans Liverpool believes that Fabinho is the right person to lead the back line, replacing Van Dijk.

It is not an easy task for Fabinho considering Van Dijk’s role is so big, not only in defense but for Liverpool’s game as a whole. However, Fabinho will try to do his best when he is trusted in that position.

“Tactically, I’m always ready to take long passes and try to organize the team. It’s not easy, but I have to do what Virgil does – talk to the team, try to be a leader. Of course not the real leader, but I will. do your best !, “Fabinho said in the interview Via Play Football.

Fabinho has been a center-back four times during his tenure Liverpool all of which ended with a clean sheet, against Bayern Munich, Brighton, Chelsea and Ajax Asmterdam.

“I was just trying to do my best. The manager told me I had to talk more to the team and manage them. Sometimes the little details like ‘second ball’, ‘get ready’, ‘press your opponent’ – I try to play a role. this is the best possible, “continued Fabinho.
