Salzburg –
Ibrahima Konate understand big expectations Liverpool to her. But, with the capital they have, Konate is sure that they can give the best.
Konate became one of Liverpool’s purchases in the transfer market this summer. He was bought with a tag of 36 million pounds from RB Leipzig.
At only 22 years old, Konate clearly has a bright future if he can do well with Liverpool. Moreover, Konate was brought in with the hope of becoming a tandem as well as the successor to Virgil van Dijk.
Coincidentally, Konate has a big stature like Van Dijk. With a height of 194 cm, Konate definitely excels in aerial duels and not only that, he is also good at playing the ball from foot to foot.
Like Van Dijk, Konate likes to control the ball for a long time and often comes out of the nest. The current term is ball playing defender.
“Yes, I’m big, strong and I’m not afraid to have the ball! I can score more goals with my feet than my head, that’s weird! But here I am! Yes, I have this ability. .But I have to work even more to be a very tough defender,” Konate told the club’s official website.
“I did watch a few Premier League games and everyone knows this league is more intense, a lot of top players. It’s difficult, but I like challenges,” he continued.
Ibrahima Konate Indeed, he has been plagued by injuries for the last two seasons, so he has only appeared 33 times with one goal. However, his best season at Leipzig was when he appeared 43 times with three goals in the 2018/2019 season.
Quoted by The Athletic, in that season Konate often dribbled to and tried to pass the opponent with a dribble. In addition, Konate also quite often fired around 65 percent in the opponent’s penalty box and won 63 percent of aerial duels.
Can Konate perform as well as three seasons ago? Let’s just wait.
