“Graf” is pleased to be compared to Kroos – stops talking to senior before Girona game pgzen

pgzen Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is still a half-full No.6 despite being tipped to resemble legendary player Toni Kroos. He would not be rude to tease the former Ajax duo ahead of the Girona clash. pgzen

Gravenberch is a key player for the ‘Reds’ in the era of head coach Arne Slot, adjusting his position from the original #8 midfielder to #6, who has to drop down, play a part in building up the game, and counteract the opponent’s pressing. 

Or when not in possession of the ball, you have to position yourself intelligently, clash, and cut off the game before causing damage to the team. 

The shape of ‘Graf’ has been compared to Kroos, the former Real Madrid and Germany midfielder, but he says he still needs to improve a lot before he can be as good as the former 2014 World Cup winner. 

“Yes, of course I’m learning how to play as a #6 midfielder,” he said at the press conference ahead of the Champions League trip to Girona. 

“I think everyone can improve themselves – including me.” ( pgzen )
