Torsten Frings, a former midfielder for Germany, referred to Ryan Gravenberch’s switch from Bayern Munich to Liverpool as “incomprehensible.”
Gravenberch joined Liverpool earlier this month after leaving the Allianz Arena on the penultimate day for transfers. He was the Reds’ fourth and last acquisition of the summer.
Both on and off the field, the Dutch midfielder has already left a positive impact on Merseyside.
The Times said that Gravenberch requested the names and photographs of every member of staff he would see in order to address them by name.In order to view some of the murals of the club’s players that are on the walls of the stadium, he also reversed the route that the team bus typically takes to get to Anfield.As is customary for many Liverpool acquisitions over the years, manager Jurgen Klopp gave Gravenberch a meticulous introduction on the field.
He assisted Cody Gakpo during Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over Leicester, in which he started again, and he played 73 minutes in the 3-1 Europa League victory over LASK.
Bayern signed the 21-year-old last summer, but he had little first team action. Despite the reputation he had established at Ajax, the Bavarians sold him this year.German legend is furious at RyanThe following is what he said (via Sport Witness): “It is unbelievable to many that such a young talent, for whom they paid a lot of money, moves to Liverpool.
But you also need to have some understanding of the coach. It might make more sense to let a player know that he doesn’t fit into the philosophy and then let him pick whether to try to establish himself or look for a chance at another club.
Gravenberch will look to continue his success at Liverpool with a string of starts, and he’ll be in the lineup when the Reds play Tottenham on Saturday (5:30 p.m. kickoff) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
