Liputan6.com, Chicago - Pemain belakang Liverpool, Daniel Agger, menilai klubnya dapat tetap tangguh meski ditinggal Luis Suarez. Pasalnya Suarez telah bergabung dengan Barcelona usai Piala Dunia 2014 lalu.
"Saya pikir kepindahan Suarez tidak berpengaruh banyak. Ada beberapa pemain baru yang akan menggantikannya," ucapnya seperti dilansir Sportsmole (28/7).
"Setelah pemain besar pergi, akan ada pemain baru yang akan datang dan beberapa pemain yang akan meningkat performanya. Saya berharap akan banyak pilihan pemain yang dapat menunjukkan kualitas terbaiknya."
The Reds melepas Suarez ke Barca seharga 75 juta pound atau setara dengan Rp 1,48 miliar. Jumlah ini dinilai cocok dengan kualtias Suarez yang berhasil mengangkat prestasi The Reds.
Semasa berkarier di Liverpool, penyerang Uruguay ini baru berhasil mendapatkan Piala Liga musim 2011/2012. Ia pun menjadi aktor penting bagi The Reds di musim 2013/2014. Dengan 31 golnya ia berhasil menjadi pencetak gol terbanyak di Liga Premier sekaligus membawa The Reds ke posisi 2 klasemen.
The Reds sendiri kini telah mendapatkan pemain baru selepas kepergian Suarez. Mereka telah mendatangkan Rickie Lambert, Lazar Markovic, dan Adam Lallana.

Carlo Ancelotti holds so many trump cards in his hand that it will be difficult to figure out which ones to play. Last year, the coach took some time to find the best system for his players, ending up opting for a 4-3-3. This formation gave him results, but he also changed to a 4-4-2 in the cup final when faced with the loss of Ronaldo.
The arrival of James and Kroos will force the manager to go back to the drawing board again. The conundrum consists of finding a way to position his four superstars. In addition to the now legendary BBC, who produced so many goals and assists in the year of the 'Décima', he now has to find room for the World Cup Golden Boot winner.
The club has paid €80 million including add-ons for him to delight the Bernabéu fans. This will be no easy task as things stand with a 4-3-3, unless one of the famous four plays further away from the box. Ancelotti already did this before with Di MarÃa, but it would not seem that any of these four players will be willing to play such a role.
The option which the Real manager is left with is to go back to playing with two midfielders (which would mean leaving out Alonso, Modric or Kroos) and move all of his firepower up front by playing a line of three with Benzema as a centre forward.
