The young defender left good feelings after his Premier League debut

The game against Newcastle left several stories to tell, and one of them is Jarell Quansah's Premier League debut with our Liverpool. The young 20-year-old English defender had to enter the match in an extremely difficult situation and it did not seem the most optimal scenario for such a young player to make his debut, however Jürgen Klopp trusted him and gave him the opportunity to show his talent and Quansah did not disappoint.

 

With Ibrahima Konaté's injury, which prevented him from playing this match, and Virgil van Dijk's sending off before 30 minutes, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez had to play together in central defense, leaving Jarell Quansah as the only defender available to Klopp on the bench and, still losing 0-1, the German tactician decided to give him minutes and take off Matip who was visibly tired.

Thus, in the 77th minute Jarell Quansah made his debut in the best league in the world and for the most important team in the league. Quansah not only looked good, but according to team vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, the young defender was really good and outstanding. "Jarell Quansah, absolutely incredible in his first game for us in a difficult situation," he said.

Jürgen Klopp also mentioned how important Quansah was when he came on and said that the 20-year-old defender is a great talent. "Quansah, he is great, he is a real talent (...) Jarell played two really good passes, which were super important passes, I would say" he said.

 

What did Quansah have to say about his Premier League debut?

Liverpool's young center back, Jarell Quansah, could not hide his happiness at having made his debut for his dream team and assured that he is ready for whatever comes next. "You don't expect to make your debut away with 10 men at St. James' Park 1-0 down, so it's hard to put into words at this minute (...) It's what dreams are made of, a cliché but it's so true. I'm ready for whatever comes," he said.
