Gakpo Lauds National Teammate Gravenberch
Cody Gakpo heaps praises on a colleague
Speaking to Men in Blazers earlier this month, Liverpool and Dutch winger Cody Gakpo had a lot of positive things to say about his domestic and international teammate Ryan Gravenberch.
“We [the Dutch contingent at Liverpool] knew Ryan already from the Eredivisie when he played at Ajax, and I think everybody knew already that he is this good.
“After, he made a move to Bayern Munich and maybe he didn’t play that much over there, but still everybody in Holland knew how good he could be when he was playing.
“And I think maybe the manager [Slot] also knew this. At the beginning of the season he put him in a slightly different position but he gave him the confidence to play there.
“Ryan showed his quality at that position, grabbed his chance as well and turned out to be a good match. He is playing outstandingly for us this season.
“I’m very happy that we can see the Ryan we as Dutchmen already knew, but now he can show it to the whole world. I’m very proud of him.”
Though Gravenberch’s career stalled somewhat at Bayern, he’s taken his chance to prove himself under new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot, and the Dutchman will certainly get compliments not only from his international teammates.
