154 Divock Origi is a Liverpool legend.
The Belgian may not have ever been the Reds’ most important player, but he was always the player that stepped up in the big moments.
He scored big goals in big moments time after time, and speaking on the Sky Sports Football Podcast, Jurgen Klopp has been discussing the Belgian.
Klopp says that Origi remains someone he absolutely loves, claiming that while he didn’t play that much he was still a massive part of this team, sadly admitting that he didn’t play as much as he probably should have.
Origi should’ve played more
Klopp spoke about the £10m man and his time at Liverpool.
“Divock is a very special person, I love him to bits. I don’t know how many times I apologised to him that he wasn’t playing more. Divock was a massive part of this team and the team let him feel that. In the week he was one of the most important players we had, and in the weekend he still was but he didn’t play as often as he should have. We had the relationship we had for the long time we worked together, but it was a lot more up to Divock than me, I would have understood at any point if Divock said he has to go now, he didn’t get any special treatment, he took it like a boss, and he’s a Liverpool legend, and we wish him the best for the rest of his career,’ Klopp said.
Hard
We can see where Klopp is coming from here.
The Belgian earned a place in the team after his continuous huge contributions to this side, but, at the same time, it’s very difficult to find a place for him.
Let’s be honest, Origi was never as good of a player as Roberto Firmino, and he wouldn’t have been able to play that false nine role in the same way.
Yes, Origi was brilliant for Liverpool, but, at the same time, it’s hard to pinpoint a single moment where Firmino should’ve been taken out of this Liverpool side.
