Club career edit
Early career edit
Matip began his career with SC Weitmar 45 before joining VfL Bochum in 1997.[4] After three years in VfL Bochum's youth teams, Matip was scouted by Schalke 04 in July 2000.[5]
Schalke 04 edit
Matip made his debut on 27 October 2009 in a Regionalliga West match against 1. FC Saarbrücken.[6] He made his Bundesliga debut for Schalke on 7 November 2009 against Bayern Munich, in which he scored the game-tying goal and was subsequently named man of the match.[7][8] After his successful introduction to the first team, Matip remained a regular starter for Schalke in defensive midfield for the remainder of the 2009–10 season,[9] scoring two further goals against 1. FC Köln[10] and Eintracht Frankfurt.[11] On 2 March 2010, Matip signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Schalke 04.[12]
In the 2010–11 season, Matip made his UEFA Champions League debut as Schalke reached the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in the club's history. On 5 April 2011, he scored his first Champions League goal in Schalke's 5–2 quarter final win against title holders Inter Milan at San Siro.[13] On 21 May 2011, Matip appeared as a 72nd-minute substitute in Schalke's 5–0 2011 DFB-Pokal Final win over MSV Duisburg at the Olympiastadion.[14]
On 23 February 2013, Matip scored both goals as Schalke recorded an important 2–1 victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf, securing the club's second win in 12 games.[15]
Liverpool edit
2016–17 season edit
On 15 February 2016, Matip announced signing a four-year pre-contract agreement to join Liverpool on a free transfer, following the expiration of his contract with Schalke.[16] He made his debut for Liverpool on 23 August 2016 in a 5–0 win against Burton Albion in the 2016–17 EFL Cup.[17] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–2 Premier League win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on 29 October.[18] Matip was voted as Liverpool's Player of the Month for his performances in November.[19]
Matip was withdrawn from the fixture against Manchester United on 15 January 2017, as Liverpool were yet to get full clarity from FIFA over his eligibility, and also as a result of the Cameroon Football Federation failing to confirm that Matip could therefore play club football during the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.[20][21] Overall, Matip was considered as a key player to improving Liverpool's defence, which had received extreme criticism prior to the season,[22] during the 2016–17 season.[23][24]
2017–2019 edit
On 1 October 2017, Matip was criticised for his poor performance against Newcastle United, being deemed at fault for Newcastle's goal.[25] On 4 November, Matip scored his first goal of the 2017–18 season, scoring in a 4–1 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium.[26] On 27 January 2018, Matip scored an own goal in a 3–2 home defeat to West Bromwich Albion in the fourth round of the 2017–18 FA Cup.[27] On 31 March, during the match against Crystal Palace, Matip suffered a thigh injury. On 3 April, Liverpool announced that he would have to undergo surgery to fix it, and that he will miss the rest of the season.[28]
Matip suffered another muscle injury in July 2018 during a tour of the United States,[29][30] but recovered to be named an unused substitute in a 2–0 away win over Crystal Palace on 20 August.[31] On 13 December, Matip suffered a broken collarbone after the 1–0 win against Napoli.[32] The injury saw him miss another six weeks of the season.[citation needed] Despite the showing of interest by new Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri,[33] Matip remained at Liverpool for the rest of the season, establishing himself in the starting eleven.[citation needed] On 1 June 2019, Matip assisted Divock Origi's goal in the 87th minute of the 2019 Champions League final, which saw Liverpool defeat Tottenham Hotspur 2–0 to win the title.[34]
2019–20 season edit
On 4 August 2019, Matip scored Liverpool's goal in the 2019 FA Community Shield. Liverpool lost the game 5–4 on penalties.[35] He scored his first goal of the Premier League season on 24 August, opening the scoring in a 3–1 home win over Arsenal.[36] On 18 October 2019, he signed a new contract with Liverpool until June 2024.[37]
His 2019–20 season was plagued by injuries, and Joe Gomez quickly took his place as Jürgen Klopp's preferred centre-back to partner Virgil van Dijk.[citation needed] His first injury occurred in a Premier League match on 20 October 2019 against rivals Manchester United.[citation needed] He returned in late January 2020, making just one league start before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[citation needed] He was injured again on 21 June 2020 during a Merseyside derby against Everton, with the club later revealing he would not be able to feature for the rest of the season.[38]
2020–2023 edit
On 28 January 2021, Matip was substituted at half-time against Tottenham Hotspur, and it was revealed that he suffered ankle ligament injury and would miss the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[39][40] On 23 February 2022, Matip scored his first goal of the 2021–22 season in a 6–0 win against Leeds United.[41] He was named Premier League Player of the Month for February on 11 March.[42] Liverpool narrowly missed out on the chance to achieve a historic quadruple, coming second in the Premier League and the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League but winning both the EFL Cup and the FA Cup.[43]
On 13 September 2022, Matip scored his first Champions League goal for Liverpool with a late header in a 2–1 win against Ajax in the 2022–23 Champions League.[44] On 3 December 2023, Matip came off in the 69th minute in Liverpool's 4–3 home win against Fulham after suffering an ACL injury which would make him miss the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[45]
International career edit
Matip was called up on 23 December 2009 by Cameroon for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations but he later declined to take part in the tournament.[46][47] On 2 March 2010, aged 18, Matip opted to play his international football for Cameroon, after meeting up with the national team ahead of a friendly against Italy on 3 March 2010.[48] He made his first appearance in the match against Italy and went on to play in the 2010 FIFA World Cup for Cameroon. He was also part of the Cameroon squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup where he played twice and scored against the host team Brazil, the team's only goal of the tournament.[49]
In January 2017, Matip was selected for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations but rejected the call-up.[50] It was later revealed that Matip retired from the national team when he was still at Schalke, but had not followed FIFA procedure by informing the Cameroonian Football Association via letter.[51] While the confusion was cleared up by FIFA, Matip could not play for Liverpool. He subsequently missed a Premier League tie against Manchester United and an FA Cup third round match against Plymouth Argyle.[52][53] Matip cited his reason for his retirement was his unhappiness with the national team set up and his bad experience with the coaching staff.[50][54]
Style of play edit
Strong and clever, Matip is known for his ability to dribble up the pitch to create momentum.[55][56][57][58][59]
Personal life edit
Matip was born in Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia,[60] to a German mother[61] and former Cameroonian footballer Jean Matip.[62] He is the brother of the fellow Cameroon international Marvin Matip[63] and is a cousin of Joseph-Désiré Job.[64] He attended the Gesamtschule Berger Feld.[65]
He married long-term partner Larissa Stollenwerk in the aftermath of Liverpool's 2020 Premier League title,[66] and in June 2021 they welcomed their first child, a son.[67]
