Ως οπαδός της Λίβερπουλ έχω να πω ότι ο Ντέγιαν στα δύσκολα χρόνια κρατούσε την ομάδα μόνος του. Έχουμε φάει ΠΟΛΥ σαρδέλα εκεί και ξέρουμεNikLiverpool έγραψε:Lovren τελικά!
Θα τολμήσω να πω ότι να του δωθεί κίνητρο και έχει όρεξη θα είναι βασικός και αναντικατάστατος. Παραθέτω ένα μικρό απόσπασμα για την πορεία του στη Liverpool:
Brendan Rodgers said that Liverpool had lacked leadership in defence since Jamie Carragher retired in 2013. Carra himself was delighted by Lovren's capture and said on Twitter that he and his Sky Sports' colleague, Gary Neville, both had Lovren in their Premier League team of 2013 and he thought Lovren was "excellent for Southampton." Mark Wright, former Southampton stalwart and formerly Britain's costliest defender when Liverpool purchased him from Derby, mentioned in the beginning of this article, commented on talkSPORT: "Dejan Lovren looks a decent enough player and if there is one position Liverpool needed to address [it's centre-back]. They concede too many goals from set-pieces last season and they conceded a lot of silly goals, if they hadn’t the title might have been theirs and probably should have been theirs. And they’re addressing that by getting this lad in. “Is he the answer? Time will tell but one thing I do know is that Brendan Rodgers is very thorough. The most important thing is shutting the backdoor and they’ve gone for this lad, but for one good season £20million seems a heck of a lot of money.”
Possibly because he arrived with a big reputation as well as a big price-tag the Croatian defender took time to settle down at his new club. But he still played in nearly 70% of Liverpool's Premier League matches in 2014/15 and added a further 12 appearances in the cup competitions. Although mainly bought to shore up a somewhat porous defence from the previous season he could still be a threat in the opposition's penalty-area; and he proved that by heading a last-minute winning goal in front of the Kop when Swansea City came to Anfield for a fourth round League Cup match at the end of October. At times he seemed in awe of his surroundings and made a number of costly errors, leading to him having to settle for a place on the bench on six occasions in the second half of the season. 2015-16 was much better for Lovren. Although it didn't start well and he made some atrocious mistakes in defeats to West Ham and Manchester United, the arrival of Jurgen Klopp helped him to transform his game and cut out the silly errors. A simple switch to the right of the back two worked wonders and he was much more confident with Nathaniel Clyne next to him than Alberto Moreno. He formed a solid partnership with Sakho and also got a goal that will go down in Anfield folklore when he netted the injury time winner in a pulsating Europa League quarter final against Borussia Dortmund.
Lovren remained a regular in 2016-17 and in January 2018, the arrival of Virgil Van Dijk saw him and Joel Matip in competition to accompany the new world record defensive signing. Injuries to Matip saw Lovren develop a fine understanding and he excelled with the Dutchman taking more responsible for organizing the defence. Lovren was outstanding in the Champions League and in the summer became only the fourth Liverpool player to appear in a World Cup final when Croatia exceed expectations in Russia. On his return to Merseyside though, he revealed he had been playing through the pain barrier and was unable to train due to a stomach injury, leading to him missing the start of the campaign. A pelvis injury then kept Lovren out of the side until October. After picking up a hamstring injury against Wolves in the FA Cup in January 2019, he made only five more appearances that season, three of them as a late substitute.
In 2019/20 Lovren made fourteen appearances in all competitions, scoring against Napoli in the Champions League at Anfield. At the end of the COVID 19 delayed season Russian club Zenit St Petersburg signed him from Liverpool for £10.9m on a three-year deal on 27 July 2020, shortly after he received his winner's medal for winning the Premier League.
Το συμπέρασμα, του πηρε χρόνο να προσαρμοστεί, έκανε όντως χαζά λάθη την πρώτη χρονιά, αλλά με το που ήρθε σοβαρός προπονητής και πηγε στα δεξιά έκανε πολύ καλές χρονιές χάνοντας την θέση του απο συνδυασμό νεότερων παικτών και τραυματισμών.
Παρεπιπτώντως έκανε μια μαλακία ίδια με τον Εκόνγκ παίζοντας τραυματίας με την Κροατια χωρίς να το αναφέρει στην Λίβερπουλ...
Επίσης κολλητός με τον Salah που είναι και γαμώ τους χαρακτήρες οπότε δεν νομίζω ότι θα κολλούσε με έναν παπάρα όπως τον περιέγραψαν εδώ μέσα μερικοί. Δεν έδωσε ποτέ δικαίωμα με συμπεριφορά περίεργη στο Anfield.
Τέλος όταν έφυγε ο Κλοπ έκανε tribute κανονικό.
Οπότε απο τη στιγμή που σοβαρότατος προπονητής υπάρχει, δεξιά θα παίζει και το σαπιο-ποδόσφαιρο μας δεν έχει καμία σχέση με Premier περιμένω πολλά από αυτόν.
Αδικημένος από τις συγκυρίες σε ένα βαθμό είναι πραγματικά βράχος και ελπίζω αθλητικά και πνευματικά να είναι καλά για να εχουνε το κεφάλι μας ήσυχο
