Karius Virus Contagious 3 English League Goalkeeper

JAKARTA - Loris Karius is no longer playing in the Premier League. But, suddenly, his name returned. The ridiculous actions of three Premier League goalkeepers throughout March reminded football enthusiasts of the former Liverpool goalkeeper. David De Ge (Manchester United), Ederson (Manchester City), and Adrian (Liverpool) seemed to have contracted the Karius virus.

Adrian San Miguel del Castillo - thus his full name - was installed as a replacement for the injured Alisson Becker, who had just helped Liverpool to a Champions League exit. During the 2-0 lead over Atletico Madrid in the second leg on Wednesday night, March 11, the Spanish goalkeeper instead passed the ball to Joao Felix who then provided an assist to Marcos Llorente.

Atletico who won 1-0 in the first leg heated up. Not over the shock of Liverpool, Llorente again broke into Adrian's goal to equalize in the 105th minute. The Reds were burning in the hell they actually created for the opposing team. At the end of the second half of extra time, Alvaro Morata punished the host through his goal and brought Los Colchoneros away 4-2 on aggregate.

The great performance of the Reds who went ahead through Georginio Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino did not leave a mark because Adrian was exposed to the Karius virus.

Previously, in the Manchester United derby with Manchester City, last Sunday, March 8, City goalkeeper Ederson made a fatal blunder which resulted in a 2-0 victory for the hosts Manchester United.

The Brazilian goalkeeper made a mistake when he 'gave' the ball to Scott McTominay. The United substitute immediately slammed the ball into the empty net from 30 meters away. The defeat experienced by City at Old Trafford also means that Liverpool now only need six points to be able to secure the Premier League title this season.

In early March, David De Gea had already made a blunder when Manchester United against Everton. From a goal kick situation, the Spanish goalkeeper failed to kick his shot perfectly. The ball was cut by Dominic Calvert-Lewin who easily slammed the ball into the Red Devils' goal in the third minute.

Luckily, De Gea made up for it by making four brilliant saves. The Red Devils were finally able to equalize through Bruno Fernandes in the 31st minute. The score lasts until the final whistle sounds.

Then what is the relationship between the three goalkeepers above with Karius, who is now comfortable playing in the Turkish League with Besiktas? While serving as Liverpool's main goalkeeper in the 2017/18 season, Karius was better known for his blunders than for his brilliant performances.

At the top of the Champions League match against Real Madrid, Karius released the ball for free to Karim Benzema, who scored the opener in Los Blancos' 3-1 victory. In the 83rd minute, Real Madrid added the advantage through a goal by Gareth Bale, again due to Karius' action. The German goalkeeper was not sticky in catching Bale's shot from outside the penalty box.

Obviously, why is Karius thought to have transmitted the virus to De Gea, Ederson, and Adrian? Moreover, the last name is a direct replacement for Karius as Liverpool's second goalkeeper. 'Alisson, where's Alisson ?!'
