In advance of their upcoming match at Anfield, Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has issued a warning to his brother.
On Thursday night, the Argentine brothers will be playing on different sides of the Europa League group stage matchup between the Reds and Kevin Mac Allister and Union Saint-Gilloise.
As the anticipation for the game grows, a video of a video call between the Mac Allister siblings was posted to Liverpool’s official Twitter page.
The two exchange a few light-hearted jabs before Alexis informs his older brother of what to anticipate from Anfield.
The Liverpool man says, “I want you to suffer, I hope you don’t enjoy it.” “I can tell you because I’ve played at Anfield both for Liverpool and for other teams. As an away player, I can assure you that you will experience the stadium and the audience.”
Kevin smiled and said, “And maybe you can feel my tackle.”
Building up beautifully to tomorrow’s match, which should be positive and perhaps end with a Liverpool victory.
Talk of conflict from Alexis
It won’t be simple for Kevin and the other Union SG players at Anfield, Alexis is right.
The situation for the Belgians might already be challenging enough, but Liverpool could easily start tomorrow off strong.
Liverpool will be fired up after all the events and fallout from Saturday’s defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
All the players at the club will have been affected by the game, even though they may not have lined up against Spurs.
Union will therefore need to prepare themselves for a potential onslaught immediately away. At Anfield in Europe, Liverpool has destroyed a number of opponents. This might be one more.
However, the Reds will also need to exercise caution. They won’t want to follow up their season-opening defeat at the weekend with a shocking outcome here.
Kevin Mac Allister, a defender, might be essential in making Liverpool’s day at the office difficult in terms of scoring. Without intending to offend, let’s hope Alexis is correct; if he and his colleagues lose, the Reds will win the game.
