Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips did incredibly well for Liverpool this season
Woke up this morning and checked the world ranking (according to Transfermarkt) of the Liverpool footballers who played the most this season.
Â
No wonder Jürgen Klopp is satisfied. Liverpool is 3rd in the Premier League and has qualified for the UEFA Champions League with two central defenders, Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips, who are respectively ranked 273rd and 282rd in world football. This is amazing.

Next season, with Virgil van Dijk partnering with Ibrahima Konaté in central defense and with 1-2 other additions, the team will be really strong.
Music I like: Zoolookologie by Jean-Michel Jarre
We are in 2021 now but I still remember my brother and I first listening to Zoolookologie around 1985-1986. Even though we were using cassettes on a very basic Tatung sound system, the music sounded great. The sampled voices and the synth sounds were out of this world.
Jean-Michel Jarre had released Zoolook, his 7th album in 1984. Even though, people consider albums such as Oxygène, Equinoxe and Les Chants Magnétiques as being better, I liked Zoolook more, for its novelty and energy. Listening to that track brings so many good memories: it was at that time that my brother and I start feeling an urge to learn how to play and compose music I think.
At that time, the pre-MTV and pre-YouTube era, there were no videos on TV and I have to say that the Zoolookologie video, while dated of course, is beautiful in its own special way. 37 years after, the music and the video are still good and this is testament to how good Jean-Michel Jarre actually is. And he looks so young in the video…
