Gakpo’s impressive stats vs Poland
Accor🔯ding to , Gakpo was comfortably Holland’s best player in their opening🌠 game at the Euros.
The forward picked🎃 up an 8.7 mꦿatch rating after causing constant problems for Poland down the left-hand side.
- 81 minutes played
- 1 goal
- 53 touches
- 23/26 passes completed
- 3 key passes
- 1 big chance missed
- 1 clearance
- 2 tackles
𒆙It was certainly a bright opening game for Gakpo and the Liverpool star seems to thrive while playing at international leve🦋l.
His form for the Reds has ꧑been slightly less convincing but he was used in a wide variety of positions under former bos💟s Jurgen Klopp.
Perhaps a strong tournament while playing in hi🦩s favoured position off the left will be enough to convince Arne Slot to use him slightly ඣdifferently at club level.
