Swedish soccer legend, Coach Ericsson, known as the "Soul of the Reds", has recently been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. However, on Wednesday (14), the hard-nosed manager announced that he would fulfill his deepest wish by taking charge of Liverpool himself and participating in an upcoming charity match. Liverpool leader Jurgen Klopp has applauded the touching decision and plans to invite Aleksson to his office for an in-depth chat.
Allison has publicly stated that she has been unwell for some time and was eventually diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, with a life expectancy of less than a year. As a meritorious coach of England, Manchester City, Roma and Lazio, Allison is a great fan of Liverpool. This time, Liverpool fulfilled his dream by arranging a charity match with Ajax on March 23rd, so that he can lead the team as the manager.
Liverpool's official statement said, "We warmly welcome Coach Aleksson and his family to Anfield Road to make this match even more meaningful." Jurgen Klopp even let slip, "If he wants, I can let him work for me for a day."
