101 Games Without Injury
Thiago Alcantara missed as many as 101 games due to injury. It is unlikely that he will renew his contract with Liverpool.
Thiago had spent about nine months recently due to hip problems. The games that he had missed have been revealed.
Thiago was once considered the best midfielder in the world. Passes based on outstanding individual skills and wide vision had few rivals. Many techniques neglect to participate in defense, but Thiago did not fall far off in defense.
Thiago made his debut after playing for Barcelona Youth. He had high expectations even as he was named Xavi's successor. However, his competitors were so strong. Back then, Barcelona had top midfielders such as Xavi Hernandez, Andrés Iniesta, and Cesc Fabregas.
In the end, Thiago scored 11 goals and 20 assists in 100 games for Barcelona before moving to Bayern Munich ahead of the 2013/14 season.
He has been recognized for his skills since his days in Munich. Thiago swept the German stage with seven Bundesliga titles and four DFB-Pokal titles. In particular, he contributed to Munich's treble by winning the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in the 2019/20 season.
He became one of the world's top midfielders, but he had some drawbacks. He suffered many injuries. According to the soccer statistics media "Transfermarkt," Thiago has suffered injuries, both large and small, every season since his debut as a professional player. There were also various injuries. It was hard to find any injuries such as knees, shins, toes, and hips.
His "glass body" temperament continued even after Thiago moved to Liverpool. He joined Liverpool led by Jurgen Klopp ahead of the 2020/21 season. It was a new team, but he played so well that he did not need an adjustment period. However, the injury hampered him. In addition, he was infected with COVID-19 and did not play.
Even after returning, injuries continued steadily. Last season, he couldn't play due to a hip injury. His recovery was delayed than expected and he devoted himself to treatment for as many as nine months.
Thiago made his comeback in a league game against Arsenal on Saturday. He played on the ground for about five minutes. Then he got injured again. The Guardian reported that Thiago felt a muscle problem. He will likely need additional treatment.
According to Sports Bible, Thiago has not played as many as 101 matches for club and national team since joining Liverpool due to injury. He played in only 98 matches while wearing Liverpool uniform for four years.
Thiago's contract with Liverpool expires this summer. His skills are certain, but his injury history is too much for Liverpool to renew. The media explained, "Thiago is not expected to stay at Anfield after this season." 파워볼사이트 추천
