English Duo at the Euros
Liverpool’s defensive partners Trent Alexander Arnold and Joe Gomez will be representing England in the quarter finals against Switzerland. Switzerland surprised everyone with knocking out Italy in the round of 16. Trent’s passing capabilities and Gomez’s rock-solid defensive duties will be very crucial for England this weekend. Their performances also solidify their importance in the Liverpool squad.
Furious battle in the Portugal vs France
In another interesting quarter final clash, Diogo Jota and Ibrahim Konate will face each other in the Portugal vs France match. Jota has been a very crucial player for Portugal with his attacking involvement for the team. Whereas Konate has been a crucial defender for France this EUROS. This also demonstrates the quality players that the Liverpool squad possess. Jota vs Konate battle is going to be an interesting one and it will be fun to see who will overcome as the warrior in this battle.
The liverpool Dutchen and Cody Gapko’s masterclass
The Netherlands are having a phenomenal tournament and two Liverpool players have been very crucial for the Oranje. Cody Gapko and Virgil Van Dijk have been very crucial for the team’s progress to the quarter finals. Cody Gapko is not only Netherlands’ but is the EUROS 2024 top scorer. Apart from that, they also have Gravenberch on the bench as a super sub. Netherlands will now face Turkey to win and get to the semifinals of the tournament.
Cody Gapko has been exceptional and an unexpected surprise for Netherlands. In their 3-0 victory over Romania in the RO16, Cody Gapko was the standout performer, delivering when it mattered the most. Cody’s first goal was a proper demonstration of his skill with him cutting and scoring the goal. Gapko was a constant threat to the Romanian defence and surely was a nightmare for the opponent team. He also provided an assist for the Malen’s goal, sealing the ticket to the quarter finals.
Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker also did not hold back the praises for the Liverpool attacker. Alan admired Gapko’s movement in the opponent’s box and his amazing use of pace and skills. Lineker admired his overall performance and even picked him as the player of the match. These commendations reflect Gakpo’s growing reputation and potential to become a mainstay in Liverpool’s lineup next season.
The Future Under Arne Slot
Gapko’s performance has surely impressed everyone and Arne Slot will surely be keeping an eye to utilize the Dutchman to his best. As a fellow Dutchman, Slot will be pleased to see Gakpo excelling on the international stage. Gapko’s performance can also earn him that deserved spot in the lineup. Last season, he was a rotational player and failed to make his spot permanent. Slot’s tactical acumen and ability to nurture young talent could be the perfect combination to unlock Gakpo’s full potential, making him a key player for Liverpool in the coming seasons.
Liverpool’s dominance at the EUROs not only highlights the player’s quality but also demonstrate the future they have on their hands. With players like Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Jota, Konate, and Gakpo making significant contributions to their national teams, the Reds are poised for success on multiple fronts. Liverpool fans will surely be following this season closely, hoping that the players bring some valuable experiences and deliver for them next season. The performances of these players on the international stage will undoubtedly influence their roles at Liverpool, promising an exciting future for the club and its supporters.
