FFT June: Introducing ‘New Liverpool’

THIS month’s Australian FourFourTwo magazine is dedicated to ‘New Liverpool’ as we go behind-the-scenes at the EPL giants, alongside interviewing their new $87m strike force.

In a season which started poorly, it looked like one of the most famous clubs in world football would be facing a relegation battle. However, new signings, new owners and a new coach have reinvigorated the red half of Merseyside.

FourFourTwo magazine was allowed exclusive access to new owner John W. Henry and coach Kenny Dalglish, as the two of them reveal their masterplan for making the club champions again.

We also speak with new star strikers Andy Carroll and Luiz Suarez in their first major interview since big money moves to Anfield in January.

There is also heaps of Australian FourFourTwo exclusive Liverpool content, not available in our UK title, including a profile on the reinvention of Steven Gerrard where we ask if the midfield dynamo will become a centre-back to extend his career and an Aussie-specific interview with Jamie Carragher where he discusses Kewell, Cahill, the Ashes and playing in the A-League! There is also an interview with Nick Rizzo about his time playing at Liverpool alongside Gerrard and Owen.

Elsewhere, we are in Utrecht with housemates Tommy Oar, Michael Zullo and Adam Sarota, we look at match-fixing in Asia and if it could come to Australia, plus our 2011 readers’ census reveals what you really think of the A-League, FFA and Ben Buckley!
