Jurgen Klopp's nickname for Alexis Mac Allister sends Liverpool fans into hysterics
While the veteran midfielder left after just two years, he remains a hero on Merseyside and is fondly remembered.
If Mac Allister has a similar effect in his first year at the club, he will already be counted as a success. And after Liverpool were demoted to the Europa League, the possibility of copying McAllister's treble is a very real one. The Reds finished fifth last season in the Premier League, meaning they will play in Europe's secondary competition for the first time since 2016.As well as Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai has also signed to bolster Liverpool's midfield and Klopp was asked about the duo by the Reds' website."I was immediately thinking about nicknames and I thought it would be great nickname for Alexis... Gary! He plays pretty good football, obviously, the same as Dom.
"I was pretty clear in the moment we signed them, the public reception was pretty good, internally it was outstanding, the boys know about football so they were immediately like, ‘Oh my God...’ so that’s really good."
