Following the Liverpool midfielder’s performance against Leicester, a Wataru Endo compilation became popular.
Following the Liverpool midfielder’s performance in a 3-1 victory over Leicester City on Wednesday night, a Wataru Endo compilation has gone viral.
With the help of three goals in the second half, Liverpool overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat Leicester 3-1 in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
At Anfield, Kasey McAteer gave the Championship team an early lead after only three minutes.
Cody Gakpo then tied the score for Liverpool early in the second half before Dominik Szoboszlai came off the bench to score a spectacular long-range goal.
After then, Leicester was defeated by Diogo Jota’s flick.
In addition to other promising displays for Liverpool, Japanese midfielder Endo stood out in the middle of the field.
A video of the player’s performance has since circulated on social media.
The 30-year-old kept the play moving in the middle of the field and made a number of accurate raking passes to the wings.
Additionally, Endo, who joined the Refs defense six weeks ago after leaving Bundesliga team Stuttgart for £16 million, served as a potent counterpunch.
Endo outperformed every Liverpool player by completing 47 of his 52 passes (90%) and recovering the ball 13 times.
Additionally, the athlete had four interceptions and won three of his four aerial contests.
According to the Athletic, Endo stated, “I really appreciated it.
I believed that I outperformed everyone else in the games. I’m glad I was able to express who I am.
I’m attempting, defensively, to adjust. I wanted to play tonight’s second half the way I played against Newcastle and in the Europa League match, but I realize I needed more time.
Playing the entire 90 minutes and feeling like I could influence the game made me so happy.
“If I keep playing like I did in the second half, then I hope I’ll play more in the Premier League. I feel ready. I have to perform like that in every game.”
It has not been plain sailing for Endo since putting pen to paper on a four-year contract in August.
In his first start for the club, away to Newcastle, he was subbed off long before Darwin Nunez netted a brace to turn the contest on its head at the last.
Moreover, in the past three Premier League games, Klopp has favoured Alexis Mac Allister in the holding role.
In the Carabao Cup match between Liverpool and Leicester, Dominik Szoboszlai has struck an incredible goal.
The 23/24 season has started off well for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team, who are now unbeaten in all competitions after defeating West Ham United on Sunday.
Liverpool faced the Championship team Leicester on Wednesday night in an effort to advance to the Carabao Cup fourth round.
After Kasey McAteer scored in the third minute, Liverpool found themselves behind.
Cody Gakpo, however, helped Liverpool regain control of the game in the second half.
Szoboszlai, a summer addition, pulled something out of the top drawer with 70 minutes remaining in the game when he arrowed an incredible shot into the Leicester goal.
Szoboszlai has already won the hearts of many Liverpool fans since his £60 million move from RB Leipzig in the summer.
Speaking recently about his move to Liverpool, Szoboszlai stated it was a dream of his to play for the Anfield club.
He told the club’s official website: “I worked a lot to become a player of Liverpool. It was a dream.
I think for every football player it’s a dream to play for Liverpool, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“And also the fans, the club, the history and that you can play with these legends and players that I’m playing with, it’s a pleasure to be here.
Just the fans, just the stadium, just the team, just the history of the club – everything.”
Szoboszlai added: “I want to achieve a lot of things this year and not only this [year] but the next couple of years as well.
Liverpool supporters will be enthralled by a spectacular collection of Wataru Endo as the footballer is scheduled for a medical before finalizing his transfer to the Premier League team.
The Reds were unable to sign Moises Caicedo or Romeo Lavia because they both chose to join Chelsea, a rival team.
Lavia moved from Southampton in a transaction of £58 million, while Caicedo moved from Brighton for a British record fee of £115 million.
Liverpool are searching for targets outside of England as a result, and they have found Stuttgart midfielder Endo, who will have a medical on Thursday.
A £15 million deal has been agreed between both clubs as the 30-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Liverpool.
Endo will fill the void left by the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who both departed for Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window.
The impending transfer of the Japanese has surprised fans online, with the midfielder fairly unknown to some supporters.
