Gravenberch leaves his foreign assignment,H
e’s not hurt, either.
Ryan Gravenberch has chosen to spend the international break in Merseyside rather than traveling with the Netherlands U21 team.
It is good news for the manager, who will be eager to incorporate him fast because there are many games coming up.
Michael Reiziger, the coach of the Netherlands U21 team, finds it less encouraging. No, I don’t believe it’s a good decision, that’s what I told him, he responded. It’s not a wise choice, in my opinion.
Ronald Koeman, the first-team manager, said that the Netherlands are “not happy” with Gravenberch’s selection.
Although Gravenberch faces stiff competition for a berth in the starting lineup, the 21-year-old will see plenty of action in the four competitions in which Liverpool is participating this season.
Jurgen Klopp’s style of play requires some new players to adjust slowly, although Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister fit right in. How quickly Gravenberch becomes as a significant player for Klopp will depend on time.
