Cody Gakpo is Netherlands’ player of the Euros, can Arne Slot replicate it for Liverpool?
New York TimesIn another era, there was another Dutch footballer who was exceedingly talented in the art of cutting in from the wing, creating a yard of space inside the full-back and scoring with a firecracker of a shot. All of which can feel a bit of a puzzle when you consider that a manager of Jurgen Klopp’s expertise appeared to have misgivings, for reasons never fully explained, about Gakpo occupying the same position in Liverpool’s team. Everybody knew what he meant, however, when in his next sentence he talked about hoping Gakpo’s team-mates would find a way to “come to that level”. Even ignoring, for one moment, his emphatic shot for the first goal yesterday in Munich, just consider the way Gakpo helped his team extend their lead by eluding the Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin before having the presence of mind to poke the ball into scorer Donyell Malen’s path. The intriguing part is whether Arne Slot, Klopp’s successor, follows what Koeman has done and places his trust in countryman Gakpo to flourish on the left side of his attack.
