🚨🚨OFFICIAL: Ryan Gravenberch is named Player of the Match for the Liverpool vs. AC Milan game🏅
UEFA has granted Ryan Gravenberch the Player of the Match accolade for his commendable performance once again. Although it wasn’t as exhilarating as his prior game at Old Trafford before the international break, he still put in an impressive display.
The Reds didn’t sign a number six during the summer, but if they had, Slot probably wouldn’t be performing as effectively. Gravenberch has made a strong start in his new position and was one of the few players who can be credited with contributing positively during the loss to Nottingham Forest.
He excelled in matches against Ipswich Town, Brentford, and Manchester United, achieving 90% passing accuracy against Milan while recovering the ball for his team 10 times and making six interceptions.
While it may not have matched his performance at Old Trafford, this game further demonstrated his capability to play effectively in a deeper role.
With the stronger teams, Gravenberch has shown that he thrives in midfield alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Their blend of strength and technical skill creates a potent combination. In the upcoming match against Bournemouth, these players will likely have a chance to showcase their ability to break down a low block defense.
