Liverpool have a number of players playing international football in the final break of the Premier League season. Last night, Alexis Mac Allister was commended for his performance for Argentina, while Joe Gomez made his debut for England. In London, Luis Diaz put on a great show as Colombia defeated Spain.
Conversely, Cody Gakpo received backlash for his Dutch performance.
Nevertheless, Liverpool s players have had a decent enough break thus far, and last night, one of their best players carried on the trend.
LIVERPOOL MAN SHINES ON INTERNATIONAL DUTY
Caoimhin Kelleher, the number one player for the Republic of Ireland but a player for Liverpool, was one of the players who played last night. Against Belgium, the £30 million stopper maintained a perfect record. He received a great deal of praise for his performance, much to the delight of the Irish media.
Kelleher, in strong club form, exuded confidence with the ball. He didn’t have a save of note to make in the first half, although he would make one brilliant save in the second half to keep his team level,” Balls.IE wrote.
The Liverpool star receives praise from other medias also.
“Passed the ball out with authority and control while Belgium pressed high into the final third. A solid performance from a goalkeeper who only made one ‘real’ save during the 90 minutes. A terrific stop to deny Thomas Meunier in the 76th minute,” RTE said.
CAOIMHIN KELLEHER IMPRESSED FOR REPUBLIC OF IRELAND V BELGIUM
Kelleher performed admirably for Ireland last night, just as he has done for Liverpool in recent weeks.
It is not to be taken lightly if you keep a clean sheet against Belgium. They rank as the fourth-best team in the world as per FIFA.
As indicated by the ratings, Kelleher demonstrated why Liverpool has such a high regard for him. He make a vital save against Thomas Meunier to maintain parity in the scores.
Liverpool faces the issue of Kelleher needing regular play to stay Ireland’s top player. That could imply a summertime sale. Kelleher deserves to be number one somewhere after his performance last night, as he is good enough for most teams in the league.
