The Liverpool fan kept his promise and got a tattoo of the Divock name on his leg when the striker scored the decisive goal, allowing the club to win over their principal rival, Everton, also based in Liverpool. The user with the nickname “ForeverRed98” regularly informed subscribers about the progress of the tattooing process.

Winning the match and successfully continuing the unbeaten run are important to the trophy-hungry fans of Liverpool, who lost out on the Champions League last season. Now the Reds are seriously fighting for the first place in the Premier League – and they are successfully coping with this task. Divok Origi, however, almost did not take part in this, as he was on a six-month lease at Wolfsburg. Perhaps his heroic deed will force Jurgen Klopp to rethink his attitude towards the Belgian and give him a second chance..

Origi’s goal made Anfield, home of the red team, explode with delight. Virgil Van Dyck’s kick came well above the goal and distracted Jordan Pickford’s attention, but when the ball fell and bounced off the post, Origi took advantage of the position and neatly headed in from close range..

The entire bench of Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp himself, known for his impulsive behavior, jumped from their seats, rejoicing in the unexpected deliverance. Still: two extra points, when Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is already on the heels, will not be superfluous!

The coach even ran out onto the football field, thereby violating the rules of conduct – according to Danny Mills, a former England defender, the German had the right to be arrested, but the FA was fined. Few agreed with this – even Marco Silva, the Everton coach, considered the penalty inappropriate.

After the match, Klopp said that the team was “very lucky”, but it is necessary to work further in order not to lose points and increase the lead over competitors. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho agreed with his German colleague and called Liverpool lucky.

Jurgen Klopp’s team barely grabbed three points ahead of a seemingly inevitable draw, and a local fan did book a day at a local tattoo studio. Now his quadriceps bears the inscription “D1v0ck” with a gracefully inscribed score of a victorious match. The user has already shared an image of a bloody leg with a protective film covering the tattoo..

Origi may not be the most successful forward in Liverpool’s history (the Belgian has scored only 13 goals since 2014, appearing in 52 matches and, apart from Wolfsburg, spent a whole year on loan at Lille), but this fan is clearly no business about it. The fan did not abandon his promise, and now on his body there will always be a reminder of the forward’s heroic deed in the confrontation with the principal rival. Even if the Belgian does not gain a foothold in the starting lineup and leaves Liverpool in search of game practice.

In the end, it’s better to be proud of your team’s accomplishments than the other’s losses — as did the Manchester United fan who immortalized the 2018 unfortunate Champions League date on his body. Apparently, everyone chooses for himself.
