151 Conor Bradley has shared what it feels like to defend against Liverpool No.7 Luis Diaz at the AXA Training Centre.
The 20-year-old made the comments when speaking to Liverpool’s official website.
So, what did Conor Bradley say about his Liverpool teammate Luis Diaz? Let’s take a look…
Conor Bradley praises Luis Diaz
Well, the Northern Ireland international spoke very highly of the £37m Colombia international after he scored in Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Luton Town on Wednesday evening.
When discussing Diaz’s brilliance, Bradley shared what it is like to play against the South American in training.
The Liverpool No.84 said: “He’s my worst nightmare in training, I hate coming up against him. He can go left, he can go right. He’s playing brilliantly at the moment, and long may it continue.”
Playing against the likes of Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez has clearly done wonders for Bradley, who has taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to water.
In his four Premier League appearances so far, the man from Castlederg – who Jamie Carragher compared to Andy Robertson – has scored one goal and provided three assists.
Conor Bradley could become a superstar at Liverpool
Many will be anxious to think about what the future holds for Bradley when Jurgen Klopp departs this summer.
However, Xabi Alonso is apparently keen to replace the German, and if the Spaniard does arrive at Anfield, we believe he will take Bradley’s game to another level.
The 42-year-old is clearly a talented coach in numerous areas, having guided Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the Bundesliga in unbeaten fashion this term.
However, Alonso appears to have a unique skill when it comes to developing full-backs, evidenced by the stunning form of Jeremie Frimpong, who operates similarly to Bradley.
The Netherlands international has remarkably scored nine goals and provided ten assists from a right wing-back role this season.
Therefore, if Alonso does get his hands on Bradley this summer, the Northern Irishman’s game could go up a gear.
