Liverpool played a friendly match against Yokohama Marinos and secured a 3-1 victory. The most valuable player of the game received an unusual prize.
Details: Florian Wirtz was named man of the match and was awarded one million Japanese yen. Converted to euros, that's about €5,848. This amount is just over 2% of his weekly salary at Liverpool.
Currently, Liverpool are holding their pre-season training camp in Japan, and before the friendly kicked off at the Yokohama stadium, there was a moving ceremony in memory of the tragically deceased Diogo Jota and his brother.
Reminder: Alexander Isak has already given his verbal agreement to join Liverpool. The Swedish striker has agreed personal terms with the Merseyside club.
