Liverpool’s Big Splash in Yokohama…
Holy footballers on surfboards! Liverpool is gearing up for a pre-season rumble with Yokohama F Marinos despite nature deciding to shake things up — literally. A mighty Tsunami warning has been issued after Mother Earth did a shimmy up in Russia, but the Reds are all in for a showdown at 11:30am BST, come hell or high waves!
Fresh from a rollercoaster of emotions after a win over Preston and a kick in the shins from AC Milan, the Liverpool lads are ready to wrangle the waves and their own third pre-season dance at Yokohama’s spectacular Nissan Stadium. Picture the Reds riding a football pitch-shaped surfboard into the setting sun, with new kid Hugo Ekitike ready for his close-up in the splashy action!
While Japan braces for waves large enough to splash Elephant Island, nearly two million sandal-wielding citizens are set on high-alert evacuation mode. Meanwhile, the Liverpool squad is strapping on their flippers and aiming to fly back in time for their Bilbao bout before cascading into the Community Shield chaos. With every football boot splash, this pre-season is set to be wetter than a Sunday league mud-pit!
