Liverpool’s undefeated start to the Premier League season fell into a dramatic end at Selhurst Park, with Crystal Palace captain Marc Guech playing a decisive role in the 2-1 victory.
England International rubbed salt on the Reds’ wounds by providing a flick-on that led to the winner of Edinketia’s downtime shortly after Federicochiesa was equal to the side of the Arne Slot.
For Liverpool, it was a bitter medicine to swallow. Not only did they lose the first league game of the campaign, they also came into the hands of players who might have lined up for them rather than against them.
Mark Guech linked his journey to Liverpool
Guehi has been the subject of intense interest from the Merseyside Club over the summer, with a £35 million move reportedly agreeing. However, after the palace did not sign the appropriate replacement, Guehee drew the plug at the transfer deadline, leaving him in southern London.
Despite continuing speculation about his future, Guehi continues to show unwavering professionalism and impressive form.
His commitment to the palace has been revealed both on and off the pitch, with the defender using the captain’s notes in the matchday program to show pride in the team’s progress and resolve to continue their strong run.
“It’s a great achievement to go to 17 unbeaten matches in all competitions at this level, but we’re not happy as a group yet.” He wrote, as reported by liverpool.com.
Guech also praised the unification and spirit of the palace, and emphasized the collective mentality that spurred the rise of the palace.
“As a team, we are determined to compete to win every game. It’s a collective desire to fight for each other, badges and the club.”
Palace Captain is amazing this season
These words were backed up to the pitch as the Palace fought to the end to overcome the Liverpool side, which won seven consecutive games in all competitions.
Guehi’s performance against Liverpool reminded him of the increased quality of his influence and leadership.
His long-term future remains uncertain, but while Liverpool and other European giants were expected to revisit their interests, his dedication to Crystal Palace is undoubtedly unclear.
