Ryan Gravenberch Impresses with Trent Alexander-Arnold-Like Pass
Liverpool fans were treated to a glimpse of the future during the Netherlands’ recent match against Germany. Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool’s No. 38, delivered a stunning pass reminiscent of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s trademark deliveries. The pass, which covered more than 50 yards, showcased Gravenberch’s vision and precision. It was a moment that had jaws dropping and social media buzzing.
Gravenberch’s pass came just seconds into the game, as he sent a through ball in the direction of Tijjani Reijnders, who finished comfortably to give the Netherlands an early 1-0 lead. However, it was his pass in the 20th minute that stole the show. Running away from his own goal after a corner clearance, Gravenberch unleashed a cross-field pass that was nothing short of extraordinary. The pass was so good that it should have resulted in his second assist of the game, but Xavi Simons failed to finish off the move.
The pass was just one highlight in a performance that exuded confidence. Gravenberch finished the game with the most passes into the final third for his team, along with four recoveries, two tackles, and six duels won. His performance earned him a well-deserved rating of 8.5-out-of-10 from Voetbalzone, the joint-highest rating of the match.
Former Dutch midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart hailed Gravenberch as the star player of the match. He even went as far as to say that the pass Gravenberch made to Xavi Simons was the most difficult ball in football. Social media was abuzz with similar sentiments, with fans and pundits praising the young midfielder’s technique, precision, and confidence.
Gravenberch’s performance was a shining moment in an otherwise disappointing result for the Netherlands, as they drew 2-2 with Germany. Liverpool fans will be pleased to know that Gravenberch, along with Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo, all returned from the match unscathed.
While Gravenberch’s performance for the Netherlands was impressive, Liverpool fans will be hoping to see more of his skills in a Liverpool shirt soon. With his vision, technique, and self-confidence, Gravenberch has the potential to become a key player for Liverpool in the future. This Trent Alexander-Arnold-like pass is just a glimpse of what he is capable of, and it has certainly left fans excited about his future contributions to the team.
