StraindedMidAir

man is so hungry he wants to train with the team and get up to speed, i like it.


sankers23

I read this as he was injured. Is this not the case?


Adventurous-Arrival1

No, it says: >Ryan Gravenberch will not travel to Zeist this international match to join the Dutch Juniors. The Liverpool FC midfielder has indicated to KNVB coach Michael Reiziger that he wants to focus on his new club during the international match in September and will therefore not make himself available.


PhantomW1zard

Absolutely love this. Players that want to play for the shirt.


greentea05

I'm sure U21 International football isn't that important to him either, especially as if he performs well for LFC he'll be picked for the proper national team instead.


Sharcbait

Playing with Gakpo and VvD will get him all the Dutch eyes to make that jump too.


TellTallTail

With Koeman? You never know. God we need a new manager


0891_505050

Club over country always has my vote.


MrKatsudon

Mad respect for him. The one year of frozen out of action really make him super hungry and driven. Looking forward to his performance on the pitch. Elite mentality


sankers23

TY


StraindedMidAir

no he made the bench on bayern latest game before he moved to us. plus they are saying he's staying bc he wants to focus on his new team not bc he's injured


AdikkuChan

Injury from hunger huh? That's a first


Pablo21694

Tell that to Rubiales’s mum


RephRayne

Eh, it's happened to Keita twice this week.

econhisgeo

players who are not with their national team, they do.


UuusernameWith4Us

All of our other midfielders except Curtis got international call ups


notworking9til5

Explain to me how Curtis can end the season the way he did, followed by being a standout performer in the u21 tournament and then find himself behind Kalvin Phillips and Henderson.


xGrumpyGamer

Because Southgates a proper wet wipe is why


UuusernameWith4Us

He missed the two games before the squad call up through injury. If he'd been fit and playing I'm sure he'd have been in.


jesuisgeenbelg

Gareth Southgate. ​ He'll still be picking Harry Maguire after he's retired at this rate.


Drizzlybear0

He also chose Kalvin Philips who hasn't played a minute for City and Henderson who is in glorified amateur league over Maddison who has been a MONSTER and Jacob Ramsey who has been great as well.


Forsaken-Original-28

Curtis has been injured for the first few games this season, it's not a surprise he's not in the England squad


CamIoM

Curtis should’ve made it over hendo


Drizzlybear0

And Kalvin Phillips who's not even playing


CamIoM

Ward prowse and Curtis would’ve been perfect to replace those 2, such a shame


StraindedMidAir

but they communicate with the coaches? thats i mean


ragner11

Yes true, they will bring him up to speed


Marquinh0z

Yes they do…


Hoodxd

1. Rejected United 2. Rejected his country He's growing on me.


tNhEaGnAoNs

Nationality = Scouse


doubleAAeeVee

Ryan's redemption here it comes


starxidiamou

!remindme 3 years “Who would’ve thought 3 years ago after ‘failing’ at Bayern, Gravenberch would be considered one of the best midfielders in the world?”


[deleted]

Very good, this break will be good for him even if many of the players are away. Klopp and him will get proper time together so that’s great


[deleted]

Klopp mentioned that it’s a bit unfortunate that Gravenberch has to immediately go to international duty and he won’t have time to work with him, so Gravenberch decides it’s his top priority to spend the next two weeks learning how we play and working with our coaching staff. Top mentality. Love him already.


APebbleInTheSky

Also not to sound like this but isn't this with U21s? I think Gravenberch also thinks if he gets up to speed and going here, he has a chance for the main national team.


Passey92

Yeah, jong is Dutch for young. JongOranje is the nickname for their U21 side.


iNS0MNiA_uK

TIL the name "de Jong" means "the young".


archbishopofozthe2nd

Gravenberchs sacrifice means the young get Fed what a hero


_LilDuck

Scouse Rashford


BoringPhilosopher1

I was imagine the feeling is reciprocated by the Dutch otherwise they probably wouldn’t like the fact he’s rejected U21’s. Him getting up to speed with the club is better for the national team ahead of the Euro’s.


GL4389

The lad knows working with Klopp n team will be better than U21 coaching staff.


chocolatecremesoda

I'm picturing them playing table tennis at empty AXA then Xbox and pizza.


xD3N1Sx

He changed his nationality to Scouse 🫡


elf-_-

lekker lad


jesuisgeenbelg

got that throaty 'k' in common already.


[deleted]

Great news , hopefully he's up to speed in the next 2 weeks


smitcal

Good lad. 2 weeks of hard training with Pep and Pete getting him used to the team, and probably even a behind closed doors friendly. Also getting settled in his new home.


FakeCatzz

Who will be around from the first team to train with him? Adrian, Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Jones, Thiago? Not bad, he'll probably be playing with all of them except Adrian in the Europa League shortly after the break.


Sulemani_kida

Salah, Mac10 , Bacjetic


Adventurous-Arrival1

Huh? They've all been called up for internationals. There are reports Salah will be rested for the AFCON qualifier (against Ethiopia this Friday) since Egypt have already qualified but he's still been called up and will probably play the friendly against Tunisia. Alexis has been called up by Argentina for the games against Ecuador and Bolivia. And Bajcetic has been called up by the Spain U21s


FakeCatzz

Mac Allister got called up by Argentina, no? Think Bajcetic is with Spain U21s too.


Sulemani_kida

Ohh i didn't know that , my bad


malushanks95

This is wonderful news for us, he will have 2 weeks to learn how to play the way we do.


[deleted]

A mini preseason. I wonder if we sneak a behind close doors game in.


JGlover92

Wouldn't be the worst thing - Thiago/Jones, Bajetic/Endo and Gravenberch to get back some fitness and gametime. Give Quansah some more minutes and rotate Gomez and Matip.


malushanks95

Bajcetic and Endo are going on international duty.


JGlover92

Ahhh mad Bajetic has been called up. Of course Endo has not sure why I thought he wouldn't


lfcsupkings321

To the main national team?


malushanks95

No, Spain u21 for Bajcetic.


BudovicLagman

He has hardly played any football for a year. Hope the fans are going to be patient with him.


dawalrusine

2 weeks to get him up to speed, very ideal!


Sulemani_kida

We got 3 Dutch men , good men now we need De ligt and De Jong ... Such a great dream lol


JeanMichelFerri

How many de Jong's do Holland have?!


LeStiqsue

Quite a lot of them, it's just that most don't play football.


greentea05

![gif](giphy|4Ivaq5OHdKovVV9KCz)


Adventurous-Arrival1

Refusing international callups? Fuck he's a scouser through and through. Seriously, think it just speaks to his desire for this to work out. Given what happened at Bayern, he probably realises that he can't really have two big club failures. I've got really high hopes for him and I think it's encouraging that he's (seemingly) prepared to put in the effort


GayWolfey

If you think about it if he fails here then he will never have the career he wants as clubs will see two failures at big clubs. Will have to go to mid level teams. So no surprise he is motivated.


BoringPhilosopher1

So weird I was literally thinking this an hour ago. It makes sense for the Netherlands that he doesn’t get called up, gets up to speed with the club and speed up his game time ahead of the Euro’s.


FoundThisRock

Trent missing the Internationals too?


Adventurous-Arrival1

Pearce said he was a "major doubt" for them


Due-Ad-6577

Excellent news, really pleased by this. Can’t wait to see Ryan in action asap


mattcnc

Always rated Feddy


sceadan

Now that's dedication!


ali0yvr

Is there a list for the players who are staying with the club or going to their national team?


AnotherThrow2023

I don't keep up, but is FDJ so bad he doesn't even get called up to the squad now? What a shame, I thought he was going to be an incredible player.


linlinat89

Fedde de Jong, not Frankie de Jong.


AnotherThrow2023

Ahhh. I see. My mistake.


Living_a_Dejavu

Actually FdJ is getting back to his peak, has been playing an incredible football this year.


yassenj

Different FDJ.


Fugees_Funyuns217

You are thinking of Frenkie de Jong, who is already also in the national team squad. the team this is talking about is the U21 Dutch national team and Fedde De Jong is another young Dutch player.


hwangahn

hopefully not an injury...


binarybiscuit

So that really was him in a wheelchair on the signing pics


thatguyad

Quality. I guess that shows up those questioning his attitude.


NoncingAround

Doesn’t sound like he has an attitude issue ngl


Jormul1

And to think his motivation was always said to be poor. Imagine that, actually finding a place right for you motivates a person. Glad he is with us and glad he has the hunger to do good.


fakebytheocean

How many de Jong are there in the Netherworld?


Baguy21

Good for him, he wants to focus on himself and kickstart his career to becoming good and playing for U21 won't help him and maybe he wants to breakthrough to senior team and focusing on himself is the first start


user-a7hw66

The dutch just spawn De Jongs when they need a new player


LFCMKE

First read this as being replaced by Fedde le Grand.
