He failed at Anfield, Liverpool dumped him, now he dreams of a comeback

Several of the biggest teams in the world have their sights set on several players who are by no means the biggest media stars but who possess the necessary spark to connect with the club from the moment they arrive and become the surprise of the year, although in the majority of cases these elements are overtaken by the objectives of the group and are lost until they see their exit through the back door.

At Liverpool this situation has happened countless times in recent years, and the Japanese-born striker, Takumi Minamino, has been an example of this, as with only 31 appearances between the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, this player could only score on four occasions, giving Jurgen Klopp exit quickly to see his resounding failure, and it was for himself as teammates had Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

The Japan international recently spoke of his Liverpool past and how his departure was part of his motivation to not give up and continue to seek success in his European career, with the now Monaco player wondering what his career would have been like had he remained at Anfield. There were times when I thought: "What if I had played consistently during that period? "

Although he "would have" is generally used to denote an unfortunate act that a person regrets for a long time, this Monaco player does not see his departure from Anfield as a total waste of time, for even though his footballing level did not allow him to stay in England, Minamino tried to look on the bright side by trying to strive to reverse his situation in the future. "I'm striving now to make sure I can say I've won something [since that time]."

Minamino misses Liverpool

Having played very intermittently with Liverpool, not only did he lose confidence, but the striker also saw that special touch he had on the ball fade, now trying with the French club to make up for lost time to improve tactically and physically, seeking revenge for what happened not so long ago on Merseyside, an institution to which he would perhaps look to return to prove his abilities as a striker with maturity on his side.
