“One Of The Biggest In The World” – Ragnar Klavan On The Merseyside Derby | OneFootball

By Dan Clubbe

Liverpool have a rich history of legendary players and managers, whilst some others come and go, there is also a special place in the hearts of Reds for a crop of cult heroes, Divock Origi, Craig Johnston and Gary McAllister but to name just a few.

Someone else who may well fit into that category is Ragnar Klavan. Famous for inventing his own turn, a late winner against Burnley and appearing on Estonian Dancing With The Stars.

Despite only spending two years at the club, the centre-back is fondly remembered by the Anfield faithful.

Speaking after the recent Liverpool Legends clash at Anfield, the former Jurgen Klopp central defender described the occasion for the LFC Foundation as ‘amazing’ and described the city as ‘having taken him to their heart’.

The Estonian made four appearances against Everton during his time at Anfield and the importance of the Merseyside derby certainly wasn’t lost on him: “You can feel the intensity, it’s one of the biggest derbies in the world and you feel it.”

Klavan also touched on the future of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk: “Hopefully they find a solution, it’s complicated but I hope from the bottom of my heart that he will stay.”

Redmen Reacts

After late heartbreak at Goodison Park earlier this season Arne Slot’s side will be hoping to defuse their cross-park rivals quicker in order to begin the title run in positively.

Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate will need to keep a close eye on the physical threat posed by Everton, something Klavan was well adept at with an unbeaten record in his four derbies.
