“A Completely Different Player”: Jamie Carragher Blown Away by One Liverpool Ace Last Night
Liverpool returned to winning form last night, as Arne Slot’s squad secured a 3-1 victory on the road at San Siro.
Arne Slot may have been concerned about how his team would respond after experiencing their first defeat of the season in the Premier League.
Liverpool answered all doubts with a commanding display against AC Milan in their Champions League opener.
With goals from Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahim Konate, and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Reds secured the 3-1 triumph.
Cody Gakpo was one of the standout players for Liverpool, earning praise for his performance against AC Milan, with Stephen Warnock admitting that the Dutchman proved him wrong during the match.
However, it seems that another player drew the attention of Jamie Carragher during the game…
Jamie Carragher Names Liverpool Ace Who Looks Like a “Completely Different Player” vs AC Milan
A few weeks ago, Jamie Carragher expressed his dissatisfaction with a particular incident involving Dominik Szoboszlai during a match against Manchester United.
Last night, however, the mood was different for Carragher as he appeared on CBS Sports Golazo, covering Tuesday’s Champions League action with a smile.
Following Liverpool’s commanding display, one player stood out to him.
After the game, Jamie Carragher took a moment to share his thoughts on Ryan Gravenberch.
“I think this happens with every new manager at every new team. They come on and have an affect on a player who you maybe thought was not good enough or the last manager didn’t really like.
“And I think that player is Gravenberch in midfield. I think he looks a completely different player now under this manager than he did Jurgen Klopp, so that’s been a real plus for Liverpool.”
Ryan Gravenberch’s Stats vs AC Milan
Ryan Gravenberch earned the Man of the Match award following his performance in last night’s game against AC Milan.
The Dutch midfielder made a significant impact with seven interceptions, nine ball recoveries, a successful tackle, three duels won, a passing accuracy of 90%, and 57 touches on the ball.
This is not the first instance of Gravenberch receiving commendation recently. Tim Sherwood remarked that the player has been revitalized under the guidance of Arne Slot this season.
Carragher’s assessment appears accurate. Last season, Gravenberch struggled to maintain consistency in the Premier League and wasn’t a regular starter. However, now he has become a key player, frequently among the first names on the team sheet.
