Former Liverpool central Dejan Lovren channeled his Zinedine Zidane on Tuesday night.
Lovren, who left the Reds to sign for Zenit St. Petersburg in July for £ 11 million, put Croatia to a 1-0 lead over France in a Nations League clash last night.
And what to do.
The 32-year-old, a Premier League champion with Liverpool last season, snatched a ball out of the sky from a corner, fooled an opponent and unleashed a fierce left foot off Hugo Lloris in the 17th minute.
Virgil van Dijk is the most technically gifted central defender in Melwood, and every other educational complex on the planet, and it turns out that Lovren has learned a thing or two from his former Merseyside teammate.
Here’s how Liverpool enthusiasts reacted last night to the purpose on Twitter:
Despite being a bombshell at times, World Cup finalist Lovren was a pretty smart defender for Liverpool.
Of course, few enthusiasts will want him for his stellar defensive performances, however the fact that he lasted six years at the club, and nearly five under Jurgen Klopp himself, is testament to the fact that he was an asset to them. Merseysiders.
