da bet7k： Liverpool fans are absolutely in love with Georginio Wijnaldum, after the Dutch midfielder claimed Everton aren’t competition for the Reds.
da realsbet： Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s mega clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford, Wijnaldum said the Reds aren’t too concerned with Everton, and that the rivalry with Manchester United is bigger because they are playing for titles.
“The game against Everton is a big one, I think bigger for them because they look up to us and we are looking more to Manchester United because we are playing for the titles,” the 27 year old said.
“Maybe silly to say, but Everton are not really a competition in the title for us so maybe that’s why we look differently to Everton than Manchester United.”
The Reds go to Old Trafford on Saturday knowing a win would lift them into second place, and give them a huge boost in the chase for Champions League football.
Wijnaldum has missed the last few games with illness, but is expected to feature in the matchday squad at Old Trafford.
The rivalry between the two European giants has indeed been closer than the Merseyside battle in recent years. Everton have not beaten Liverpool since 2010, whereas each of the last four games between United and Liverpool have been draws.
Liverpool fans will only be thinking about one thing this weekend, but that is not to say they didn’t enjoy Wijnaldum’s dig at Everton.
