Liverpool’s Gakpo Praises Curtis Jones for Stunning Display

In a surprising turn of events, Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo offered heartfelt praise to teammate Curtis Jones following their commanding 5-1 victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup. The win secured Liverpool’s spot in the semi-finals, where they are set to face Fulham.

Gakpo, who found the net during the match, commended Jones for his exceptional performance, especially his second goal, reminiscent of Philippe Coutinho’s style. Jones dazzled with a Coutinho-esque strike, skillfully dribbling past defenders, feigning a shot, and finishing with remarkable composure. Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, also lauded Jones, highlighting his acceleration with the ball as a crucial element in the game.

Jones, earning the man of the match title, showcased his prowess and versatility on the field, contributing significantly to Liverpool’s impressive start to the season. With the upcoming semi-final clash against Fulham, fans eagerly anticipate more stellar performances from Jones and the Liverpool squad.

“His second goal is now a crazy goal because you go pretty much towards the penalty spot from where he scored, that’s pretty rare, but it’s an important thing for him to do. Yes, it was a really good game. He looked super-fresh, which is probably not surprising because he didn’t now play thousands of minutes in recent weeks. In general, the performance was just good.” 

However, the best comments came from Gakpo who spoke glowingly about Jones and the work he has been doing behind the scenes which has clearly contributed to his starring form: “Santa’s come early! A quick word, very proud of you. You’re working very hard, nobody sees it obviously because it’s behind closed doors, but you deserve all the best. Keep going, brother!” Liverpool’s No. 17 then responded: “I appreciate you as always brother, thank you so much.”
