Liverpool defender Milos Kerkez has been eulogized in his native Hungary, where he has been described as a “headless fly”.
criticism comes Former Maribor star Mitja Villar via Ekipa. He was a left-back himself and was not very impressed with Liverpool’s full-backs.
Villar is known for never exaggerating his opinion of players and the 22-year-old Liverpool man found himself in the line of fire during Villar’s appearance on Pod Preko.
“Kerkez is nothing special”
While discussing Slovenia’s match against Hungary in Budapest, Villar mentioned the Hungary star by name and did not hold back.
Despite Milos Kerkez being a regular at Liverpool this season following a €46.9 million move from Bournemouth last summer, Villar sees nothing noteworthy.
“Kerkez is nothing special to me,” He said.
“It’s true that he plays in my position. Incredible mobility, but he is a fly without a head. In our championship, Kerkez will not go unnoticed, we will clean him out immediately.”
Even Liverpool’s status doesn’t affect him
Villar is also not convinced that Milos Kerkez plays for Liverpool.
Kerkes has made 39 appearances in all competitions for the Reds this season, replacing Andy Robertson as first-choice left-back at Anfield.
However, this does not change the beliefs of his compatriots. Instead, he thinks the price paid by the Reds is a determining factor.
“Let’s not talk about club football anymore,” He added.
“I think he plays for Liverpool because they bought him for so much money, Robertson’s contract is expiring. For better or worse, he will remain with Kerkes.”
A controversial opinion?
However, whether Willer’s opinion would cause an outcry at Anfield is debatable. Liverpool fans are certainly divided over summer transfers.
His first season at Liverpool was hardly the best. Kerkez certainly hasn’t shined as much as he did at Bournemouth, that’s for sure.
But there is an acknowledgment that it is a long-term project with a very high ceiling. And after a poor start, his performance has also improved in recent months. Even in Hungary he has been defended.
They are, perhaps, taking a more measured approach than Willer. If these comments are anything to go by, Hungarian is completely unconvincing.
