Ibrahima Konate, a defender for Liverpool, received high praise from former Middlesbrough goalie Mark Schwarzer for a standout performance during the first half of their 1-1 tie with Luton Town.In stoppage time, the Reds were able to equalize Tahith Chong’s opening goal for the Tangerines, which had been scored 15 minutes earlier, thanks to a close-range header from Luis Diaz in the 95th minute.
Even though they dominated the stats, Liverpool had a difficult match at Kenilworth Road and almost lost badly to the Premier League newcomers.Schwarzer, who played 445 games for Middlesbrough across all competitions, was pleased with Konate’s resolute defense and dedication to ball possession.
He remarked, via tbrfootball.com, when speaking on the BBC: “Ibrahima Konate does really well.” That run from far inside his own half was outstanding, and right before he lost possession, he was able to extend a long leg and push it into Mo Salah’s path.”
For Liverpool, the Frenchman was a formidable defender.
In addition to making one interception, he made four clearances and one shot block. Konate won five of his eight duels, displaying his aerial prowess and recording a 92% pass completion rate.Although the 24-year-old has only started half of Liverpool’s ten league games this year, he has looked strong and has contributed significantly to their top flight defense record.
