Liverpool could quickly land a new young star following Jürgen Klopp’s bold decision

Jarell Quansah has already made two Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season – impressively on both occasions. Jarell Quansah from Liverpool
Whatever happens to Jarell Quansah’s Liverpool career in the near future, nothing is likely to be as frightening as his introduction to Premier League life earlier this season. The 20-year-old Academy captain lined up, awaiting final instructions from Jurgen Klopp, Pep Lijders and Peter Krawietz. He was ready to take the field in a steamy St James’ Park, supported by 50,000 home fans.
But shortly after the full-time whistle blew for another Premier League classic between Liverpool and Newcastle United, Quansah, who spent the second half of last season learning the trade in League One with Bristol Rovers, admitted he could have been better . not to know about the surprise introduction his manager hit him in the closing stages of the Reds’ 2-1 victory. Indeed, it would be one thing to debut Stefan Bajcetic and Bobby Clarke in similar circumstances to last year’s Liverpool record 9-0 win over Bournemouth. But Quansah had no time for such sentiment as the Reds, reduced to 10 men after Virgil van Dijk’s red card, had little hope with 13 minutes on the clock as they fell behind the Magpies after Anthony Gordon’s play. first half knock
That is, until a Klopp-inspired double substitution, where Alexis MacAllister and Joel Matip were replaced by Darwin Nunez and Quansah. Within four minutes, Liverpool found themselves level with Nunez’s first goal of the afternoon. Just moments after his first inch shot into the side of Nick Pope’s goal, there was chaos in the air at St James’ Park after Nunez and Liverpool’s second strike. In doing so, he secured perhaps the most satisfying win of Klopp’s Liverpool season. While the Uruguayan naturally stole the headlines with his emphatic double, Quansah’s introduction was seen as one of the few turning points in Liverpool’s fortunes. “You don’t really think you’re going to win the game, but if you stick together you have chances,” captain Trent Alexander-Arnold said after the game. “The kids that came, amazing. Jarell Quansah. Absolutely great.”

Quansah, who completed three of his five pass attempts and won 50% of ground duels, has clearly impressed the Liverpool manager, who knows a thing or two about the volatility of the Premier League. he made his full debut at Old Trafford six years ago. “I’m usually cool anyway,” Quansah joked after the match. “But it’s always easier when you hit something and the adrenaline is coursing through your veins.”
In contrast, the recent game against Aston Villa was a lackluster run for the Warrington-born defender, who has been on the Reds’ books since the age of five when he replaced the injured Alexander-Arnold. 19 minutes remained for the 3-0 victory of the Reds.
Having come through the ranks at Liverpool and perhaps at times under the microscope since defensive partner Billy Koumetio was promoted to the first team more than three years ago, Quansah is set to succeed at Anfield after Klopp decided against another temporary departure. in the English Football League. “It’s what dreams are made of, a cliché, but it’s so true,” added Quansah, standing on the sidelines of St James’ Park an hour after his debut. “I’m ready for whatever comes.”
