Liverpool fans worried as new footage of summer signing emerges
A fear of the unknown grips Liverpool fans over latest footage of summer signing, Alexis Mac Allister from the team’s first pre-season training.
In a highly anticipated move, Liverpool completed the signing of Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion in a deal reportedly worth £35 million back in June.
The talented World Cup winner joined his new teammates at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday for his first training session since arriving at the club. However, fans were quick to notice his fatigue during an interview following the session, sparking discussions on social media.
When asked about his highlight from the day, Mac Allister shared a lighthearted moment involving Diogo Jota during the lactate test.
He said, “My first highlight was when I tried to make a foul on Diogo [Jota] when we were doing the test, the lactate test. It’s nice to be here with my teammates. Of course, it was a tough day, but nice to start pre-season like this.”
Fans took notice of Mac Allister’s exhaustion during the interview, with some expressing concern and speculating on the intensity of Liverpool’s training sessions.
One fan remarked, “He looks exhausted,” while another suggested, “Our training must be really intense for him to be that tired lol.”
Another fan commented, “A very intense training session. He is finding it hard to catch his breath,” highlighting the demanding nature of the session.
The grueling lactate test, which Liverpool traditionally begins their pre-season with, is known for pushing players to their limits and assessing their stamina. Mac Allister’s visible fatigue seemed to be a result of this challenging fitness examination.
Liverpool’s latest acquisition, 24-year-old Mac Allister, expressed his excitement about joining the club in his first interview. He said, “It feels amazing. It’s a dream come true, it’s amazing to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”
The midfielder emphasized his eagerness to participate in pre-season training from day one and mentioned his desire to become a better player and person each day.
Mac Allister also reflected on his recent accomplishments, including his involvement in the World Cup and his achievements with Brighton, but emphasized that his focus has now shifted entirely to Liverpool.
As the news of Mac Allister’s challenging first training session circulates among fans, it remains to be seen how he will adapt to the demanding training regime at Liverpool. Supporters eagerly await his development and hope that he will contribute positively to the team’s future success.
Liverpool, known for their rigorous training sessions and commitment to player fitness, will continue to prepare for the upcoming season, aiming to build upon their previous accomplishments under the guidance of manager Jurgen Klopp.
