At 37, Lallana retired! The official website of Liverpool posted a blessing[KUI]

Former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana announced the end of his professional playing career.

This English player joined Liverpool from Southampton in the summer of 2014. During his six years with the Reds, he was not only an important driver of the club's early progress but also a witness to its later glory.

In his debut season under Rodgers, he made 41 appearances and scored 6 goals. Since Klopp took office in October 2015, Lallana's influence has been growing day by day. He combines top-notch running ability, pressing wisdom and delicate ball sense, which perfectly fits Klopp's tactical system.

In Klopp's first season as the coach, Liverpool failed to reach the finals of the League Cup and the Europa League successively. In the 2016-17 season, Lallana, with a performance of 8 goals and 7 assists, became the key player for the Reds to return to the Champions League. However, the subsequent shadow of injuries gradually pushed the No. 20 player out of the starting lineup. During this period, the team reached the Champions League finals in 2018 and 2019 consecutively. He came on as a substitute in the match where Kyiv lost to Real Madrid, and the following year, as a substitute, he witnessed the 2-0 victory over Tottenham for the championship.

The 2019-20 season marked his perfect farewell to the Reds, starting from the UEFA Super Cup, reaching the top of the Club World Cup, and finally ending with the Premier League championship medal. During this season that was postponed due to the pandemic, he made 15 appearances in the league. The most memorable one was the equalizing goal at Old Trafford that defended his unbeaten record. When Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for the league title with 99 points, he also completed his 22-goal journey in 178 games for the Reds.

Subsequently, he returned to the South Coast to join Brighton, and his performance of scoring 4 goals in 104 games continued until 2024. Last year, he returned to his roots in Southampton, bringing his career to an end. During his early years with the Saints, he was a key figure in the team's return from League One to the Premier League, leaving behind an impressive record of 60 goals in nearly 300 appearances.

The 37-year-old former England international has officially retired. Liverpool Football Club wishes Adam and his family the best.
