André has just provided Liverpool with three reasons why he is the ideal Transfer for Jürgen Klopp in January

André gave Jürgen Klopp three reasons why he would be the ideal January addition for Liverpool on Saturday night during the Copa Libertadores.

Liverpool supporters worldwide were glued to the game between Fluminense and Boca Juniors on Saturday night, since it was the biggest matchup in South American football history. The majority were there primarily to witness André, a player in the Copa Libertadores final who may end up becoming Jürgen Klopp’s next addition.

Those who watched will not be dissatisfied. The actual match was an intensely competitive battle that took place in front of two energetic fan bases and a noisy atmosphere. Naturally, though, one player commanded the attention of Liverpool supporters beyond all others.

Liverpool has been interested in André since the summer of last year. At the time, Fluminense rejected the club’s desire to bring him to Anfield because the Brazilian team was in the middle of its season.

That does not, however, imply that Liverpool’s pursuit is over. The Brazilian will now be free to go in the January transfer window after the season is over, so the Reds should still be interested in him as they haven’t filled the vacancy in the holding midfield position.

André did not let the club’s scouts down in this game, and it is highly likely that they were watching him as well. The Brazilian particularly distinguished himself in three areas of his play.

André’s defensive style was crucial in keeping Fluminense’s tactical flexibility. André was up to the challenge, as the Brazilian was often left as the only player standing in Fluminense’s midfield, having to stop Boca Juniors’ fast movements. He had two successful tackles, one interception, eight recoveries, and won eight of ten defensive duels. Although André’s performance is normal for a holding midfielder based on those stats, he proved he is a multifaceted player.

His calmness in possession and his great distribution were what made him stand out, in addition to his defensive prowess. André was frequently tasked with dominating the middle of the park, therefore one of his most outstanding performances was his ability to outmanoeuvre the opposition’s counterpress and manage the play’s rhythm with deft passing. No player who played at least 45 minutes during the final averaged more than the 95 percent pass completion percentage. He only missed four of the 73 passes he attempted during the contest.

Thirdly, André was not only good at holding onto the ball; he was also adept at starting attacks for his teammates when he went forward. He was so full of energy that he easily defeated his opponents a few times with cunning feints and his aggressive runs took the ball into hazardous areas. Under pressure, he is able to take and hold the ball.

All of his best qualities were on display in the championship match, and it was a performance that was sufficient to guarantee Fluminense won the trophy. André’s main goal has been achieved, but there are still games to be fought on the home front. It is unclear what will occur in the January window after that. Although relocating to Anfield is undoubtedly a possibility and ought to be prioritised, a lot may happen in the interim.
