Liverpool (England)
In an interview with the media, data analytics expert Dr. Ian Graham revealed that players such as Nunez, Luis Dias, and Mane are all part of the team for head coach Jurgen
Klopp (name)
personally proposed the signing. This information further confirms the key role Klopp plays in Liverpool's transfer strategy.
Dr. Graham said in the interview, "Were Nunez and Luis Diaz proposed signings by Jurgen Klopp? They were. Let's look back to 2016 when Klopp also proposed the signings of Mane and Matip, there's no doubt about that." He emphasized that Klopp is not just the tactical conductor of the team, but his vision and choice of players has also had a profound impact on the team's development.
Regarding the Nunez transfer in particular, Dr. Graham noted that "most people are bullish on Luis Diaz, and as for Nunez, it's more of Klopp's personal appreciation." This personal appreciation also reflects Klopp's unique soccer philosophy and keen judgment of players' potential.
Graham also mentioned the case of Benteke, who the club decided to sign at the time despite the fact that he didn't quite fit Liverpool's style. This also shows how Klopp's signing strategy has in some cases differed somewhat from the club's overall decision making.
