Liverpool’s coach, Arne Slot, is very happy with how Ryan Gravenberch has been playing.
He didn’t expect Gravenberch to do so well as a No. 6 player for the team this season.
Gary Neville, who used to play for Manchester United, said Gravenberch was the best player in the game when Liverpool won 2-1 against Wolves.
Last season, Gravenberch played as a No. 8 under the old coach, Jurgen Klopp. But now, he is doing great with Alexis Mac Allister in midfield, thanks to the new coach, Slot.
Gravenberch, who is 22 years old, has taken over Wataru Endo’s spot in the team.
After the match, Slot told reporters:
“Ryan is really good with the ball. Having him and Mac Allister helps us keep the ball more. If you want to play in a way where you keep the ball a long time, it’s great to have players like them who are very good with the ball.”
“They can also run well. So, it’s not just what Ryan does with the ball that’s impressive. He’s also doing great without the ball. This surprised me because I know him from the Dutch league and didn’t see this side of his game before.”
