VIDEO: 3 Key Passes, 4 Duels Won, 88% Passing Accuracy as Liverpool Youngster Stole the Show on Int’l Duty Last Night
A Liverpool youngster recently delivered an outstanding performance during international duty.
Arne Slot has so far maximized the potential of the squad Jurgen Klopp left behind this season. Despite this, Federico Chiesa is yet to make an appearance, while Giorgi Mamardashvili remains at Valencia.
Liverpool boast a number of promising young talents rising through the ranks. Last season, players like Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley made a significant impact.
Additionally, there are several more players eager for first-team opportunities, including Tyler Morton, Trey Nyoni, Lewis Koumas, Nathan Danns, and James McConnell. These players are likely to be seen in the senior squad in the near future.
One of these players stood out during international duty last night with a particularly impressive display.
Tyler Morton Steals the Show on International Duty in England Under-21s vs Austria Under-21s
Tyler Morton seems to be a key figure in Arne Slot’s plans, as the manager turned down a loan offer for the midfielder during the final week of the transfer window.
This high regard for Morton is further evidenced by the fact that Xabi Alonso had also shown interest in taking him on loan earlier in the summer.
In last night’s match, England’s Under-21s secured a 4-1 victory over Austria Under-21s, with Morton emerging as one of the standout performers.
He was substituted in the 72nd minute and earned a 7.5 rating for his performance. Throughout the game, Morton registered 69 touches, maintained an 88% passing accuracy, delivered three key passes, created one big chance, won four duels, and made two tackles, according to SofaScore.
What Tyler Morton Has Said About Arne Slot
Tyler Morton, who is valued at £20 million, is big on Arne Slot and the way he plays.
“He loves Total Football. He’s come in and it’s a style a lot of players love. If you don’t love the style he plays, you shouldn’t be a footballer really!
“It’s Total Football and it’s every midfielder’s dream. You could see it today in the triangles that were played; he’s big on triangles and they were [working] today.
“I thought it was brilliant, I thought we dominated and against a very good Arsenal side it was a great display. I’m definitely ready [for the new season].
“I think we’ve been ready for a few weeks now because we came in so early. I’m grateful for it because we’re all ready and we all look very fit.
“Everyone is working so hard in training; you’ve got to because the demands are so high, especially at this club.
“I’ve come back and I feel in the best shape I’ve been in, especially physically. I’ve just got to keep working hard, keep going and hopefully it’ll take me into a good place.”
