'It's frightening': Pep Ljinders breaks down Jota's game, names 5 key ways he helps Liverpool

Diogo Jota had a stellar season during his first year at Liverpool after signing from Wolves but couldn't replicate his form at the Euros leading to some criticism being thrown his way.

However, the Reds are still very excited to see what the Portuguese international can do as he goes into his second season.

Assistant Pep Ljinders told liverpoolfc.com: "It’s great Diogo has joined us because you see immediately the speed he has and, at the same time, so much control over his body and the ball.

"It’s frightening. He gives our front line a lot of direction and energy. Diogo is not a typical Portuguese winger who receives the ball in his feet and creates dis-organisation with dribbles from outside.

"Diogo is vertical, a second striker in the box, a pure Liverpool winger. He smells the goal, is technically on a high level.

"Especially with our passing game we need Diogo’s movements in behind the last line. He defends on a high level."

Jota featured in the game against Hertha Berlin and will be hoping to explode once more in 2 weeks time when the season begins.
