Brentford may fly under the radar, but Vitaly Janelt has quietly become one of the most reliable midfielders in the league.

The German offers balance in Thomas Frank’s system — shielding the defense, breaking up attacks, and keeping things tidy in possession. He rarely makes mistakes and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

Though not one to rack up goals or assists, Janelt’s presence allows more attack-minded players like Mbeumo and Wissa to flourish up front.

He’s also incredibly versatile, having filled in at center-back and full-back when needed — a dream for any manager.

In a league obsessed with stars, Janelt proves that consistency and discipline still go a long way.

Liverpool tengah mencoba formasi baru 3-4-3 dalam tur pramusim mereka di Asia. Pelatih Arne Slot tampaknya ingin lebih fleksibel dalam mengatur tempo dan struktur pertahanan.

Percobaan ini melibatkan Trent Alexander-Arnold sebagai gelandang hybrid, posisi yang sempat ia mainkan musim lalu di bawah Klopp.

Formasi ini memungkinkan Liverpool mengontrol lini tengah lebih baik dan memberi ruang bagi dua penyerang melebar.

Sejumlah fans antusias melihat pendekatan baru ini, sementara yang lain masih menunggu konsistensinya di laga kompetitif.

Jika berhasil, perubahan ini bisa jadi pembeda Liverpool musim depan.
