Speaking on the This is Anfield YouTube channel, Dirk Kuyt has labelled Thiago Alcantara as the best midfielder in the world.
The Spaniard has been making headlines all week after his mesmeric performance against Manchester United, and he’s thoroughly earned all of the plaudits he’s been receiving.
Kuyt has been absolutely blown away by Thiago, and the Dutchman has even gone as far as to label the Liverpool star as the best midfielder in the world right now.
What’s been said?
Kuyt spoke about Thiago.
“I am very happy for Thiago. In the beginning, he needed time, which is normal in life and in football in order to adapt to the team and the new players. He’s playing such great football, before he came he was one of the best midfielders in the world, but how he’s playing now against top top sides, he’s the best midfielder out there at the moment,” Kuyt said.
Up there
Whether or not Thiago is the best midfielder in the world is up for debate – we’re sure a certain Mr De Bruyne may have something to say about that.
However, one thing is for sure, Thiago is in the conversation for being the best central midfielder on the planet.
The Spaniard can truly transform any game, and when he’s at his best, no team in the world can live with him.
His ball control is immaculate and his passing is an absolute joy to watch.
Kuyt says that Thiago is the best on the planet, and it’s hard to disagree.
