Liverpool team reporter David Lynch revealed in his latest report the firm position of Japan international Endo Hang in Liverpool. In the face of the team's possible reinforcement plan in the midfield position, Endo Hang did not waver, he clearly indicated that he will continue to play for Liverpool and fight for his position. This positive attitude not only shows the professionalism of Endo Hang, but also reflects his deep emotion to the Anfield Stadium.
However, Hiromu Endo's start at Liverpool did not go well. In the first warm-up match against Real Betis, he was given his debut but his performance did not live up to expectations and he was substituted in the first half. The result undoubtedly put pressure on Endo Hang, but it also inspired him to work harder. Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Sloter is actively experimenting with other midfield configurations, with players such as Sobosloe, Jones and Hrafenbech all seen as potential No.6 solutions.
Hikaru Endo has not lacked for market attention. Marseille had previously made an offer of around €14 million, which was rejected by Liverpool. While it is unclear whether Marseille will try again before the end of the transfer window, it seems unlikely that this will happen given the steadfastness of Koh Endo and Liverpool's need for reinforcement in the midfield position. Meanwhile, no other team has shown strong interest in Endo Kōkō.
Despite this, Liverpool still face a challenge to strengthen their midfield position. Although Sobosloe and Jones have performed well in the warm-up games, they are more suited to playing further forward in midfield. And although McAllister is also a potential option at the back, he was inconsistent last season. Therefore, Liverpool will need to continue to look for suitable midfielders to strengthen the team's defense and attacking switching ability.
