Liverpool vs Athletic Club: Pre-Season Shenanigans…
In a move that has Spectacular Spaghetti written all over it, Liverpool are all set to host a double-header of football delirium at Anfield on August 4th! Not just one, but two chances to see those red-shirted heroes take on the mighty Athletic Club. Quadruple the goals, quadruple the fun, it’s like BOGOF but with tackles and headers! Just a few blinks before they dance in the Community Shield and waltz into the Premier League, Arne Slot and his merry band of football wizards start their season prep in July, kicking things off at Preston North End’s Deepdale Stadium. After that, it’s a global tour as they tackle AC Milan in Hong Kong and surf the waves of Yokohama Marinos in Japan. Double kick-off times mean double the popcorn, so don’t miss out, grab those golden tickets for the feast of feet!
Athletic Club, who finished fourth in La Liga’s grand buffet, are no strangers to Liverpool’s pastures, having dueled twice before. With all the elegance of a Spanish matador but the ferocity of a charging bull, they’re looking to tango once more with their scouse foes. The Reds served them a spicy dish back in 1968 and the taste still lingers like Aunt Edna’s overly-seasoned stew. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s transfers resemble a soap opera with more twists and turns than a penalty shoot-out! Florian Wirtz? Milos Kerkez? What excitement will materialize from the transfer rumble jungle?
Meanwhile, Harvey Elliott has been peering into his crystal ball, pondering his magic tricks for the coming season. At the ripe old age of 22—practically a nurdle in football years—he’s thirsting for more time on the pitch. Does he stay cozy with the Reds or does he spread his wings to pastures anew? Tune in, dear fans, the plot thickens more than your grandma’s gravy! With a full summer to practice the art of football sorcery, Liverpool’s ready to cast a spell on the Premier League once more. Stand by your seats, adventure awaits!
