Liverpool are believed to be on the verge of completing a
£28.4million deal for Hoffenheim’s Brazilian international Roberto
Firmino.
According to reports from telegraph.co.uk, Liverpool Chief Executive
Ian Ayre has flown to meet Firmino, who is currently competing with
Brazil at the Copa America in Chile, in order to complete the deal.
Firmino was yesterday quoted as saying: “My future is in the hands of
God. It’s time to make the next step in my career but at the moment I’m
concentrating on the Copa America.”
It is understood Firmino will require a work permit to join the Reds,
while rumours are also circulating there may be issues relating to
third-party ownership.
However, with talks reportedly at an advanced stage, the versatile
attacker is expected to become the second most expensive signing in
Liverpool history, behind only the £35m the Reds spent to bring Andy
Carroll to Anfield in 2011.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FOOTBALL
We all know what football is all
about. For our understanding it is a spherical or round object made of mostly
rubber played by 22players in the pitch
but there are thing one must know to be a good footballer in life, many great
players adopted that, that is why they are great and best . That what separated
a world class player from amateur player is doing your job there in the pitch well and almost perfect .
Division of labour is in football or
every game .
Goal keeper:
This is the number 1. This is the
only person in the pitch that is allowed to play with all parts of the body including the two hands. He makes sure
that the ball does not enter in the net
at all cost, that is he is option not to conceive a goal. He calls his player
to order especially his defender when there is the need. He does a lots of
works in the pitch. Any goal scored in the pitch no matter amount of effort he
puts to save or prevent the goal he always take the blame sometimes.
Right Back and Left Back:
This is the 2 and 3 respectively in
terms of numerical aspect. There works are similar but not in the same part of
the pitch. Both of them helps there attacking wingers not only that, they can
help anybody in the pitch when the chance comes for them. One on need to know
about football or any game is this in as much as there is division of labour
you help another person that why you can see a defender not only to defend he
can equally score a goal when he gets the chance to do so. This aspect of
people must not allow there wing to be made as something of laughter by their
opponent they must not allow any dribbling, they must intercept, they must go
for air battle and they must gain it just to make sure that the ball is not in
there half or their team mates takes full control of the ball.
Centre Defence:
They are known as the number 5 and 6
in the numerical figure. They cover their left and right back when the time
arises and they make sure they frustrate their opponent that is the striker, they are last man before the goal keeper. But
they can score if the chance arises for them. They must intercept . They must
not conceive a goal like the goal keeper.
Defensive Midfielder:
In term of numerical term they are
the no 4 in football. They must not
allow any pass or any counter that will
lead to goal in that mid field. Any ball they gets they sends it to their
attackers or any possible team mate, they must help in holding possession of their
team mate, they works like the heart in the football. They are very important
in terms of football no formation will work without them. They are holding mid
fielder they work as the pillar in football. Sometimes they work as last man.
Attacking Midfielders:
In numerical form they are know as
number 8 and 10. They make work is creativeness they need to create chance for
the strikers to score. A good attacking midfielder must make lots of assist, if
chance arises he can score goals. But its main work is to assist the striker or
create goals.
Wingers:
In numerical figure the wingers is
the numbers 7 and 11. They helps number 2 and 3 respectively. They can also
create chance and they must also score goals.
Striker:
In numerical figure he is the number
9. A striker is the point man in football. The work of this person is mostly to
score goal nothing else. But he can perform other duties of any other person in
the pitch if the chance come. The number
of strikers a coach plays in his team
depend on the type of formation. The main work is to convert any chances
created in the pitch for him to goals.
INCONCLUSION:
All this depends on the formation of the coach. As I
said before these are their man work but there are some other work they must do
if the see the chance to do so. A defender don’t have to defend only when the
opportunity comes he ca score a goal. A striker don’t have to score only. When
the opportunity comes he can create
chance or even defend.
In
the next article I will write about all the formations and what you need to
know about them.
