Fabio Carvalho did not win all season despite being Liverpool’s own Becham
JurgenKlopp presents the match between Liverpool and Fulham Liverpool winger Fabio Carvalho has failed to score or assist for RB Leipzig all season despite being compared to David Beckham following his arrival at Anfield. Carvalho was snapped up by the Merseyside giants during the Championship break with Fulham two seasons ago and his impressive performances played a big part in the Cottagers’ win. The striker made just 21 appearances for Liverpool last season, which saw him loaned out to RB Leipzig ahead of the current campaign. However, the transfer did not go quite as planned, as Carvalho has yet to get a goal or an assist in the Bundesliga. Carvalho only started once in the Bundesliga for Leipzig and most of his appearances came from the bench. He was also limited to just 31 minutes of Champions League football as a substitute against Red Star Belgrade and Manchester City. The Liverpool loanee faced stiff competition from the likes of Dani Olmo and Xavi Simons, and Leipzig boss Marco Rose insisted earlier this week that he will continue to work for his chance to shine. Fabio Carvalho has endured a difficult loan spell at RB Leipzig this season andquot;He is a good boy, a good footballer and you can see his qualities,andquot; Rose explained. andquot;He has real goals for his position. He’s close, but he has to stick with it. Then he will definitely get opportunities to show himself again and again. andquot;He’s expanding our squad and getting more playing time in the last few games. He must use it and also excel in education.andquot; Carvalho will certainly be hoping for more minutes in the second half of the season in Leipzig as he hopes to continue his upward development. Liverpool legend Phil Thompson once compared him to Beckham, who denied his qualities and made him shock everyone and #039; when he moved to Anfield two summers ago.

I saw enough of him at Fulham. andquot;I haven’t watched all the games, but what he brings in goals are his passes. People are watching it. Yes, you can help people with them, but you have to be that David Beckham and that’s Carvalho. He will be a star, he will shock everyone.andquot;
