Red Bull Salzburg vs Liverpool
This summer, Salzburg was able to hang onto a few of its promising young players, but Matthias Jaissle knew it would be tough to keep the entire squad together once the continent learned of their achievements in 2021–2022.
While Karim Adeyemi will attempt to fill the void left by Erling Braut Haaland at Borussia Dortmund, Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen have both reconnected with former Salzburg manager Jesse Marsch at Leeds United. Two young prospects, Lucas Gourna-Douath and Strahinja Pavlovic, have also moved from Ligue 1.
Darwin Nunez’s detractors were having a field day when the £65 million player struggled to find the goal in Singapore and Bangkok, but the striker quickly reacted the best way he could. by netting four goals in a single contest.
Mohamed Salah’s goal gave Jurgen Klopp’s team a 1-0 lead at the interval against RB Leipzig, but a remarkable second half from substitute Nunez saw him make the net ripple four times to cap off a 5-0 victory for the Reds.
The subject was mythology, and as Nunez started his Liverpool career with a bang to help the Reds win their second of three preseason games, Klopp said that “the box of Pandora was unlocked.”

Due to the thigh injuries that center defender Kamil Piatkowski and 18-year-old midfielder Justin Omoregie are both dealing with, Salzburg did not have a perfect preseason.
Samson Tijani and Ousmane Diakite, a midfield combo, are also dealing with more serious ailments; Tijani is recovering from a fractured leg, while Diakite is dealing with a torn cruciate ligament.
At 36, captain Andreas Ulmer should serve as the team’s lone veteran at left-back, while Sesko will anticipate starting up front despite rumors that Manchester United are closely monitoring his progress.
Liverpool News
In the rout of Leipzig, Joe Gomez overcame a scare with an injury to join the bench, although Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are still out injured.
Alisson could be ready for the Community Shield, but with Caoimhin Kelleher still out, Adrian will still serve as the final line of defense, according to Klopp.
Nunez entering the lineup at the front of the assault would not be unexpected, and Naby Keita may get the start against his former team.
