Divock Origi - C̶u̶l̶t̶ ̶H̶e̶r̶o̶ Club Legend
‘Divock Origi is a cult hero”.
Throw some respect on my boys name. Divock Origi is a club LEGEND. I didn’t stutter.
Since he joined Liverpool 8 years ago in 2014, he has created so many fairytales and magical moments, its hard to pick a favourite. £10m seems like a bargain when you look at the all pricless moments he has given us the blessing to witness. Due to his departure in the summer, it’s time we reminisce about all those incredible moments he’s produced in a LFC shirt.
Firstly, I wanna throw it back to 13th December 2015, real vintage. West Brom are 2-1 up at Anfield from a overall poor performance from Liverpool. With not long to go, Klopp brings on Divock Origi in hope for a equalizer. Time is running out as Henderson picks up the ball at the half way line and sprays a pass wide to Origi, he picks it up with confidence. Takes the ball past a West Brom and gets fouled doing so, however, he gets straight back up and takes the ball into space. He strikes it with his beautiful right foot, it takes a huge deflection but reaches the back of the net at the Kop end. 95th minutes Scenes.
The start of a jackpot clutch career for Origi.
Origi then took a couple years off being super hero, a couple of loan moves here and there, not much game time, it didn’t seem like it was working out for him.
Then out of nowhere, the 2018/19 season hit, or I like to call it “The Origi Season”
This was the year he created so many unreal moments. Such as, the bizare last minute winner against Everton, destiny literally falling to him. The 86th minute winner against Nexcastle, in a time when Liverpool were pushing for the league. As great as these moment were, you cannot even compare them to the performances he put at the big stage. Let me throw it back for you.
Liverpol 0 Barcelona 3. Liverpool head to Anfield after a heavy semi-final defeat to Barcelona. Divock Origi starts due to injuries. God’s plan. He gets a early goal for Liverpool and gives them hope for the comeback. Anfield is rocking.
Liverpool then remarkably find them self in a 3-0 with a incredible comback to pull it level. I wont even to the rest, all i’ve got to say is…
Corner taken quickly, Origi.
Those words will forever stay in the gallery of legendary art in football. One of the greatest moments in UCL history, created by Divock Origi.
After this performance, Liverpool then played Tottenham Hotspur in the UCL Final. Liverpool went 1-0 up early and the rest of the game remained fairly even. Master Divock Origi gets subbed on.
Origi 87’
The man never misses in big moments. The big game player that your faviroute big game player looks up to.
Overall, Divock Origi not rocking a Liverpool shirt will be a huge loss to football culture. However, we must remember the magical moments that he has produced for us, even when we didn’t expect it.
Fairwell Divock,
