BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Anfield, Liverpool former player hails special player after his breathing taking performance in the champions league match vs Ac Milan. Liverpool got back to winning ways last night as Arne Slot’s side secured a 3-1 win away from home at Ac Milan home soil. He said, “He looked like a completely different player—confident, dynamic, and unstoppable! I couldn’t believe the transformation, and neither could we. This is the kind of performance that shows exactly why he’s worth every penny. If he can keep this up, Liverpool’s future is looking even brighter. What a performance!” Jamie Carragher was left speechless after watching Liverpool’s £34m ace shine against AC Milan.
Liverpool returned to winning form with a 3-1 victory at the San Siro, where Arne Slot’s team displayed dominance against AC Milan in their Champions League opener. Coming off their first Premier League loss of the season, Slot may have had concerns about how his team would bounce back. However, Liverpool quickly silenced any doubts with a commanding performance.
The goals came from Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahim Konate, and Dominik Szoboszlai, securing a comfortable win for the Reds. Cody Gakpo’s performance, in particular, was lauded, with former Liverpool player Stephen Warnock acknowledging that the Dutch forward proved him wrong with his impressive display.
Interestingly, Jamie Carragher’s attention was drawn to a different player. Carragher, who had previously criticized Dominik Szoboszlai for a moment in a recent match against Manchester United, was much more upbeat this time around. While working as a pundit for CBS Sports Golazo, Carragher commented on the transformation of Ryan Gravenberch under the new management.
According to Carragher, Gravenberch has become a “completely different player” under Arne Slot’s guidance compared to his time under Jurgen Klopp. Carragher highlighted the positive impact new managers can have on players who may have struggled under previous leadership. He pointed to Gravenberch as an example, stating that the Dutch midfielder now looks much improved and is playing with a renewed sense of confidence and purpose.
Gravenberch’s performance against AC Milan earned him the Man of the Match award. His stats were particularly impressive, as he made seven interceptions, recovered the ball nine times, won a tackle and three duels, and achieved a passing accuracy of 90% from 57 touches.
This praise for Gravenberch is not new, as Tim Sherwood also recently pointed out the midfielder’s rejuvenation this season. Under Arne Slot, Gravenberch has transitioned from a player who struggled for consistency in the Premier League last season to one of the first names on Liverpool’s teamsheet.
Carragher’s comments further emphasize the midfielder’s remarkable transformation, noting that Gravenberch now plays with the quality and consistency that makes him a key figure in Liverpool’s lineup, a significant shift from his previous struggles under Klopp.
