Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has attributed his impressive form this season to the trust and confidence instilled in him by manager Arne Slot. Gravenberch has become an integral part of Liverpool’s starting lineup, solidifying his position as the team’s first-choice No. 6.
Under Slot’s guidance, Liverpool has made an exceptional start to the season, topping the Premier League with six wins from seven matches. This impressive run marks the best start for any Liverpool manager, and Gravenberch’s performances have been instrumental in this success.
Gravenberch credits Slot’s trust and belief in his abilities as a key factor in his improved form. In an interview with ESPN, Gravenberch expressed his gratitude for Slot’s support, stating, “The coach gives me confidence and sets me up.”
Gravenberch’s style of play aligns perfectly with Slot’s footballing philosophy, which emphasizes building up from the back. This shared vision has fostered a strong bond between the player and manager.
“I discuss all kinds of things with him,” Gravenberch revealed. “It’s mainly about football. We talked last season as well. I have a good bond with him, and I’m very happy he’s here.”
The Dutch midfielder’s partnership with Slot has allowed him to replicate his successful form from his time at Ajax. Gravenberch acknowledged this continuity, saying, “The things I did at Ajax, I do now.”
Gravenberch’s goal for the season is to build on his increased playing time from last year. He expressed his satisfaction with his progress, stating, “I’m at a top club now, at Liverpool. I played a lot more last season than in the season before.”
With Slot at the helm, Gravenberch is confident that Liverpool can maintain its momentum. The manager’s influence has transformed Gravenberch’s game, enabling him to thrive in his preferred role.
Gravenberch’s resurgence has been a crucial factor in Liverpool’s impressive start, and his partnership with Slot will be pivotal in the team’s pursuit of success this season.
As Liverpool prepares to return from the international break, Gravenberch will look to continue his outstanding form, fueled by the trust and confidence instilled in him by manager Arne Slot.
