Fabio Aurelio believes the increasing confidence of Kostas Tsimikas is driving the left-back’s performance levels and providing healthy competition to Andy Robertson.
The 26-year-old has become a more prominent figure in the Liverpool team during the first month of the season, starting in the Merseyside derby draw at Everton and playing the full 90 minutes in the 2-1 win against Ajax on Tuesday. He was outstanding at Anfield midweek, providing the energy Jurgen Klopp had demanded and topping it off by setting up Joel Matip’s late winner.
The Greek's form has given Jurgen Klopp a new-found selection headache to ponder over during the international break, offering genuine competition for Robertson’s starting place for the first time since the Scot arrived in 2017. But fellow left-back Aurelio believes the competition arising from Tsimikas’ recent form can only push both players further.
