He tells you everything you need to know that Naby Keita’s passage in January from Werder Bremen to Ferencvaros has slipped almost imperceptibly under the radar.
Liverpool won the race for one of the most exciting fields that go to the Red Bull system in 2018, taking Keita for about 50 million pounds sterling to strengthen their midfielder after missing With little the glory of the Champions League.
But after a promising start to life in Anfield, a number of injury problems interrupted his progress, and he would fade more and more on the replacement bench until he left for free at the end of 2022 -2010 as disappointment.
He then joined Werder Bremen, later declaring that he had moved for regular playing time rather than for money, that he said that he could easily have found elsewhere, but found only five matches and 107 minutes in 18 months.
A reported problem involving the player refusing to get on the team’s coach after being informed that he was not in the departure XI for a match that apparently spelled the end of Keita, his boss Ole Werner returning his position to the Club Claire to the press.
“I think we were very, very human and very, very transparent with him at any time since he joined us.

“Keita is not our problem right now, and I think it is preferable for both parties to simply look to the future and in the future, to see what good Naby solutions can find for itself and what solutions we can find without him. “
In October, Keita told the Guardian: “During my last year in Liverpool, I did not play much and when I got here, I was motivated.
“We will have to speak one day of the bus incident, but all those who know me know that I am a professional and that I am not unruly. Despite everything, I apologized to the group even before the end of last season because we are all human and no one is perfect.
“Wherever I am, from Salzburg to Leipzig to Liverpool, I have always tried to be exemplary.
Something was to give if Keita, another 30 years, was to put his career on the right track, and therefore the international Guiné joined the Hungarian team Ferencvaros – managed by a former Robbie Keane Keane – on loan in January.
“We are happy to have found a solution, with Naby and his agent,” said Werder Bremen, Clement Fritz.
“For us, it was clear that Naby would no longer play for Werder. As such, the loan agreement is the right decision both for us and for him. We wish Naby all the best in Hungary.
Ferencvaros is the insurmountable force in Hungarian football these days, with six successive titles, but despite the presence regularly in Europe, it is perhaps not the sumptuous road that Keita could have envisaged his career at the age of 30 years.
Werder Bremen clearly indicated that Keita has no future, so he will try to impress future potential clubs

“Unfortunately, things did not go as planned,” noted the player, before joining Ferencvaros, a feeling that seems to have summarized his career, at least judging by his early trajectory.
However, having played only five times in almost two years, it may be surprising that Keita has now made his debut for Ferencvaros – in team B.
By relying against Tiszafured, Keita was presented in the second half, and was himself credited with his performance, the club report on his beginnings suggesting that he could well be ready to run in the senior team.
“ The Guinean midfielder appeared as a substitute at halftime and by his good movements, his precise passes and his possession of the ball, he proved that his regeneration is progressing well and he could soon make his debut for our first team.
“The head coach of our reigning champion football team Robbie Keane also watched the match on the spot.”
The reigning champions continued to beat Tiszafured 4-1, although Keita can expect to get used to the winning feeling on one side which is almost unequaled in Hungary.
With Ferencvaros always in the Europa League, there is every chance that the player can find the high level experience in his legs after so long on the sidelines.
With the German side which apparently excluded a return to the fold at any stage of Keita, he hopes to show future suitors – or even his new temporary side – that he always has the quality necessary to perform.
In fact, it will be included in the team against Viktoria Plzen Thursday evening, according to the Ferencvaros website, which means a return to one of the biggest stages of all, and the chance to impress, could indeed come earlier than expected.
