Adrian hails Joe Gomez as the “English Roberto Carlos” after standout performance
Liverpool’s Joe Gomez received great praise from teammate Adrian, who labeled him the ‘English Roberto Carlos.’ The Reds won an important game, extending their advantage at the top of the Premier League standings to five points above rivals Arsenal and Manchester City.
Gomez, who normally plays as a center-back, has excelled as a left-back in the last three games, getting in well for the injured Kostas Tsimikas.
Adrian, who is still an important presence at Anfield, praised Gomez’s performance on Instagram, sarcastically comparing him to the iconic Brazilian full-back Roberto Carlos.
The 26-year-old Gomez, who joined Liverpool from Charlton in 2015, has had a rollercoaster ride with the club, from major contributions to their first league win in 30 years to injury and potential exit.
Despite not being the first-choice defense, Gomez’s flexibility has been essential to Jurgen Klopp. While left-back is not his natural position, the Englishman has impressed both fans and teammates during Tsimikas’ absence.
Adrian’s comparison to Roberto Carlos, while recognizing Gomez’s role, underlines the Englishman’s recent great shows. While Liverpool waits for regular left-back Andy Robertson to return, Gomez’s adaptability means he remains an important part of Klopp’s defensive approach.
His colleagues’ praise reflects the unsung heroics of a player who continues to exceed expectations and deserves to be recognized for his recent exceptional performances.
