Former Liverpool player, Jan Molby spoke out in favour of the Reds recently signed striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163, claiming that the Italian International will fit perfectly in Brendan Rodgers 4-3-3 model.
The Merseyside club finalized the terms of the player’s transfer from AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 on Friday, costing them a total of 11 million pounds in transfer fee. He is likely to make his Liverpool debut against Toronto on the 21st of July during the Reds upcoming
tour of North http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.
Borini’s brief but successful loan period with Swansea City and an impressive previous season at Roma, where he scored 9 goals in just 24 league appearances, are believed to be the reasons behind the signing.
The Reds struggled miserable in the prevenient term to score goals on consistent basis, and the striker’s admission in the squad is likely to add impetus to their morale as they head into the new season.
Also, given his earlier working experiences under the Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, at Swansea and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, the player is expected to accustom himself at Anfield sooner than usual.
Having seen Borini’s prodigious talent at the Serie A, Molby believes that the striker will prove to be the missing link in the current setup, and the Northern Irishman’s 4-3-3 formation will suit his game.
The former midfielder told the club’s official website, “Technically, Borini is very good, he has two good feet, his movement is excellent and he's a goal scorer. The manager has spoken about playing 4-3-3 and Borini could slot in anywhere along that front
line.”
He also lauded the Italian’s exceptional work rate and noticeable mobility on the field, and likened him to the Villarreal player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027.
It is quite manifest that the Reds toilsome last season owes much to the profligacy of their strikers in front of the goal. During their entire league campaign, they scored the fewest goals amongst the top nine teams.
Molby admitted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s shortcomings upfront, but felt that the arrival of Borini will bolster their attacking front and he could be the key to their good start to the 2012/13 season.
He also backed the striker’s decision to part ways with Chelsea in order to seek more playing time on the field, and went into raptures about the impact that he made at the Stadio Olimpico.
“He could have signed another contract and stayed on the bench at Chelsea…he decided not to hang around. He wanted to play and credit to him for that. He went back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, did very well for Roma and got himself into the Italy squad for the Euros.”
