Old Red Army general: Wilz s position should be No. 10, Salah can transform into a pure center

June 8: Liverpool is stepping up their pursuit of Leverkusen star Wilz. Reds former player Collimore talked about the team's frontcourt team in an interview.

Collimore said: "I think Wilz can act as a classic No. 10 position. His addition will not have much impact on Liverpool's front line. Whether Salah, Jota, Nunes, Garkepo, Dias, Wilz will not affect them. Maybe Liverpool will sell one of them in exchange for funds.

"Wilz's position is to create offensive opportunities as No. 10 position. As Salah gets older, he no longer has to start dribbling from 30 or 40 yards. Salah can enter the penalty area more and play his best scoring ability. Wiltz is more like the team adding a midfielder than an extra striker. ”

So the Reds' existing midfield trio: Heraffenberg, McAllister and Sobosloy, who will lose the main position? Collimore said: "I think it depends on the situation. The team's goal is to win the Champions League. Now we can see the subtle changes from ball-controlled football to introducing players who can drive the ball and break through. Wilz can definitely do this, so that questions about the 'Liverpool's strongest midfield combination' will arise.

"Wilz will definitely play, you might put him before McAllister and Sobosloy, who will have to take on more running tasks. Because Sobosloy sometimes stands deeper, while McAllister is very efficient.

"I don't think Liverpool will use Sobosloy, McAllister, Herafenberg and another 10, and two forwards, who usually put a center in the middle, with Salah and Garkepo or Dias separated from each other. Whether Slot directly decides to let Wilz play the No. 10 position and continues to play the game we have been familiar with for many years will be very worthy of attention.

"The midfield trio will assume more responsibilities, and Wierz will also retreat to help defend. In the away game of the Champions League, Liverpool may give up a pure striker, allowing Wierz to play a more flexible role, while bringing Salah closer to the opponent's back line. But I think Wierz's main task is to play with his strengths, wander from the opponent's middle half to the edge of the penalty area, break through the defense line, create opportunities, and he can also enter the penalty area to directly score goals."
