SportFootballLiverpool FCAlexis Mac Allister has been outspoken of people 'rejoicing' at Argentina's World Cup failure but now his task is to take his anger and get back to the level Liverpool fans didn't see enough of last seasonArgentina players have been getting flak from all angles for some of their World Cup shenanigans. “Without meaning to, you help us feel more and more proud to be Argentinian every day.”Again, Mac Allister and his team-mates won't be following coach Roberto Ayala's lead and saying sorry for their conduct any time soon.When Mac Allister says people were ‘mocking or rejoicing in our pain’, he was mistaken.

His importance to Argentina can't be underestimated.And after reports linking him to Real Madrid, the new Kop boss made clear his desire to keep the 27 year-old at the heart of his new side.“I think Alexis has been one of the best players at the club for the last few years, and he has had a very good World Cup, so it is normal that other clubs want our best players," said Iraola. "But I want to keep my good players.”If he believes Mac Allister is one of his best players, then that's more than fair enough.

But there's no doubt it's the Mac Allister of 24-25 he'll want to see. Hopefully his belief about people's 'mockery and rejoicing' will inspire him to get back to his best.His new manager, and Liverpool supporters, will certainly be hoping that's the case.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
