I hear Liverpool have some young talent who are developing at a fast pace. The Reds have not lost their momentum this season.
Darwin Nunes and Luis Diaz are real refugees, Mohamed Salah is still there. But Derry City U19s manager Gerard Boyle says 17-year-old Trent Cone-Doherty could be the fastest player. In an interview with the Liverpool ECHO today, Boyle revealed his impressions of Doherty as a youth manager before he joined Liverpool. “Trent always has good control from close range and can control the ball well with both feet,” the coach said.
“Acceleration and deceleration were amazing. Trent likes to run at defenders with the ball and can get past them before making a good pass or shot. His attitude was high. They were polite and receptive to information and advice. He was like all his colleagues. He was smiling.” After a year with the U18s, Con-Doherty is now attracting the attention of Liverpool’s senior players.
Firstly, the Irish youngster has played for the U21s this season and has scored a goal in two of three games. . Eredivisie match. He was then invited by Jurgen Klopp to train with the first team. That call-up has yet to lead to a big debut for Cone-Doherty, but at this point it doesn’t seem far off.
Trent can be compared to Ben Doak in that they both arrived at the same time and held similar positions. We see the impossible in Liverpool’s future. Either way, it looks like young Trent will get his chance at some point. According to his former coach, he is expected to bring him back.
