You’ll never walk alone is not just a slogan but a reality
Liverpool played a friendly match today against Yokohama FC in Japan and won 3-1. Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool
with a brilliant finish and won the Man of the Match award.
But that’s not the whole story!
The story is in this picture in front of you. Wirtz’s Man of the Match award was one million Japanese yen
. For a moment, you’ll think Florian Wirtz was lucky, but that’s not it!
The surprise is that one million Japanese yen is equivalent to only 5,050 British pounds in English currency,
as one British pound is equivalent to 198 Japanese yen. I was surprised, right?
The huge difference in this currency occurred because interest rates in Japan are approaching zero,
compared to the central bank’s interest rates of approximately 4%. This has caused investors to completely abandon the Japanese yen,
and the difference has become enormous, as you can see. This is just one of many reasons.
The important thing is that Liverpool bought Wirtz this year for £116 million, which is about 23,000 times the prize money Wirtz won today in the match. This difference is terrifying!
This kid is truly out of this world!

Gakpo started today’s friendly against Yokohama and didn’t perform well, stumbling over the ball due to the poor pitch conditions!
This 16-year-old replaced Gakpo and played only 25 minutes, turning the game around and completely obliterating the pitch!
He performed dazzling dribbles and changes of direction at speed
. He interacted with his teammates, opening up space and then receiving possession inside the penalty area. He created a real sense of anxiety!
In the end, he was able to lead an attacking transition, acted amazingly,
and calmly dribbled past the defender to score the third goal. He has extraordinary confidence in his abilities and is unafraid of any situation!
Rio Ngomoha, just 16 years old, is the most luxurious gift Liverpool has ever received without paying a single euro.

I really liked this shot today in Liverpool’s match against Yokohama FC!
Ernie Slot decided to bring on Wataru Endo in the 59th minute in place of Van Dijk, to create a surprise.
We saw Van Dijk handing the captain’s armband to Wataru Endo as he came out!
A beautiful and elegant gesture, expressing appreciation for Endo, who was participating in a match in his hometown
and in front of his hometown fans, who were making a huge splash when he came on, especially since, according to him, Endo’s family attended the match!
The beautiful thing was what Liverpool manager Ernie Slot said after the match.
Slot said that Endo deserved this moment for the role they played last season, which contributed to winning the league. The point here is that he accepted and submitted to the same role, and he is the best example of submission.
He deserved the captain’s armband today!

Liverpool proves time and time again that the slogan “You’ll Never Walk Alone” is not just a slogan, but a reality they choose to live by constantly through their actions towards each other.
