Liverpool's rising star, Milos Kerkez, has a confession: he's not yet content with his performance, despite his recent strides. The 22-year-old Hungarian, who joined the Reds from AFC Bournemouth for £40m, initially struggled to find his footing. But, with Liverpool on a 12-game unbeaten streak since November, Kerkez has emerged as the club's first-choice left-back, overshadowing Andy Robertson.
But here's the twist: Kerkez, who earned a PFA Premier League Players' Team of the Year spot last season, remains hungry for more. He acknowledges the need for adaptation when joining a club of Liverpool's stature and credits the entire team for their support. Kerkez believes he has improved in various aspects, yet his ambition drives him to strive for further excellence.
He speaks highly of Robertson, a club legend, and values the opportunity to learn from him. But, when it comes to his partnership with Cody Gakpo on the left flank, Kerkez dismisses any concerns. He believes they work well together, and his role is to facilitate the winger's success.
Liverpool aims to secure their Champions League knockout stage position against Marseille on Wednesday, riding their unbeaten streak. However, drawing six of those games has led to fan frustration, as seen after the 1-1 draw with Burnley. Kerkez empathizes with the supporters, understanding their disappointment, and vows to help Liverpool finish in the top eight to qualify directly for the round of 16.
And this is the part most people miss: Kerkez's determination to improve, even after establishing himself as a key player, showcases his dedication to the sport. But is it fair to expect such relentless ambition from a player who has already achieved so much? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
