Liverpool midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister has ranked Moises Caicedo as the toughest midfield opponent of his career so far. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he’ll go for Caicedo because he is a fantastic player who is incredibly physical, and being someone he once shared a dressing room with, he can confirm that the Ecuador international is amazing on and off the ball.
Mac Allister added that Rodri being 3rd doesn’t mean he does not rate the Spaniard, but the Ballon d’Or winner just hasn’t been his hardest opponent.
His words, “I shared a dressing room with Moi, he was a fantastic player, so good physically.
Physically is the hardest part. On and off the ball he is so good, he’s so complete.”
On putting Rodri third on the list, “This doesn’t mean that I don’t rate Rodri! It’s the complete opposite. He earned the Ballon D’or, he’s a fantastic player. He’s not the hardest opponent, because he’s never on the ball. He always plays one or two touches, and you cannot even get near him. I put it like this because of the physical attributes.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
