Жереми Жак — защитник за 100 млн фунтов, которого «Ливерпуль» купил вдвое дешевле

Liverpool spent big money on Jérémy Jacquet, but somehow, it might already look like a bargain. At just 21 years old, the French centre-back has adapted to Premier League football almost immediately, looking composed next to Virgil van Dijk and showing exactly why Liverpool were willing to invest so heavily in him. Strong in the duels, calm under pressure, quick across the ground and capable of breaking lines with his passing, Jacquet is beginning to look like a defender built for the very highest level. But his rise has happened incredibly quickly. Not long ago, he was playing in Ligue 2 with Clermont. Then came his breakthrough at Rennes, a huge transfer battle for his signature, and now performances at Liverpool strong enough to earn him recognition with the senior French national team. So how did Jérémy Jacquet develop this quickly? What makes him such a difficult defender to play against? And could Liverpool really have bought a future £100 million centre-back for almost half that price? This is the story of Jérémy Jacquet and why Liverpool may have found their next defensive superstar.
