After Union Saint-Gilloise was defeated 2-0 in the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp discussed Ryan Gravenberch and the reasoning behind his replacements.
Ryan Gravenberch’s first Liverpool goal came in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise, and Jurgen Klopp has said that the Dutchman’s goal caused him to alter his original strategy for the player.
After Trent Alexander-Arnold’s shot was parried, the summer acquisition, who had recorded assists in both of his first two starts for the team, scored his first goal late in the first half with a straightforward tap-in. After a challenging season in the Bundesliga, the former Bayern Munich player continued to establish himself, capping off an excellent performance.
When the Reds defeated the Belgians, they made it two wins in a row for the Reds in the Europa League group stages, and Klopp was pleased with Gravenberch’s performance. The Reds manager acknowledged that the late withdrawal of the 21-year-old prompted him to alter his strategy for the player.
Klopp told reporters, “I believe it’s absolutely evident how good he is. “What a genius he is, enjoying himself and the situation. That is very significant.
Regains all of the confidence piece by piece is absolutely amazing to watch. He is in the middle of the squad and suits the bulk of the squad’s age group fairly well. That’s great. It’s only advantageous.
“We speculated that he could play 90 minutes. We had intended to give him 90, but when we noticed that he had dipped a bit, we decided against taking any chances and instead brought in Dom (Dominik Szoboszlai) for a short period of time.
