Ibrahima Konate’s selection of players for his five-a-side FIFA team may raise a few eyebrows in Merseyside, though it should certainly be noted that the Frenchman was tasked with choosing fellow compatriots and Liverpool stars only.
The 22-year-old called on the services of Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk from Jurgen Klopp’s men before adding two Frenchmen in current Manchester United man, Paul Pogba – whom the Old Trafford based outfit resigned for £89m, according to BBC Sport (via Stretty News) – and English top-flight legend, Thierry Henry.
Though we’d argue there’s a case for any one of Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho or Jordan Henderson to be given the nod over the Red Devil, the choice of the ex-Gunners striker is certainly far from being a bad one (though, on current form, Mo Salah is more than giving him a run for his money).
