In the European Championship semi-final, the Netherlands will face England. Liverpool’s Gakpo, in a pre-match interview, said that England is a dream team and he hopes to play a great game against them, but the Dutch team’s only goal is to beat England and reach the final.
Although Gakpo played as a left winger under Klopp, he said he can play in more positions after Liverpool changed coaches. “I used to play left wing, but in the past year and a half, Klopp has asked me to play other positions, and I can do my best to adapt.”
Speaking of the European Championship, Gakpo said the Netherlands’ goal is to reach the final. “We’ve made it to the semi-finals, but this isn’t the end of our journey in this tournament. Every team wants to reach the final, and we are no exception.”
Gakpo didn’t hold back praise for their opponents, England. “England has definitely got the strength to reach the semi-finals, they have a lot of truly great players, they are a dream team. We want to play a beautiful game against them. Of course, the most important thing is that we perform well, only winning matters.”
Liverpool’s new manager, Slot, hopes that Gakpo will continue his excellent performance. “I hope he can take it to the next level. He has already impressed everyone, and we will have a top-class player on our hands.”
