Liverpool midfielder desperate to make an impression JĆ¼rgen Klopp in pre-season.
IT might be a low-key pre-season friendly at a 5,327 capacity League One Stadium, but for Liverpool midfielder Cameron Brannagan tonightās trip to Fleetwood FC is āmassive.ā
The 20-year-old made nine senior appearances last season - eight of them under JĆ¼rgen Klopp - and was handed his full Premier League debut in the last match of the league campaign at West Bromwich Albion.
And he is keen to catch Kloppās eye again in pre-season.
āHopefully I can work my hardest in the games and in training and try to prove what Iām about. The gaffer is watching and I might get a chance this year,ā he told liverpoolfc.com.
Brannagan was named in the starting XI for Fridayās opening friendly at Tranmere Rovers and is hoping for more exposure at the League One side tonight.
āThere are a few lads up here this year, some of the younger lads are here, the older bunch as well and some of the players who were out on loan,ā he added. Everyone is dying to impress the manager; he is the new manager and everyone is keen to get going. You can see that in training with everyone working so hard, especially with the running weāre doing ā everyone is running their socks off. To get fit and to be able to play to your best potential, thatās what you need to do. Being fit helps you do that, especially at the end of games when itās hard and you can dig out a result. Itās always good to show the manager at that time that youāre still ready to go.ā
So far Brannagan has not been allowed to leave the Reds and gain experience on loan, but he is open to the prospect.
āIām only a young lad and loans are a big thing at my age ā going out and experiencing what itās like to play,ā he said. I donāt really know what Iāll be doing yet; Iāll speak to the gaffer about it in my own time and when the gaffer wants to speak to me, Iām happy to talk about it. But Iām just going to keep training and working hard, and when the games come try to impress the manager as much as I can. Thatās my aim this year ā train hard and work hard and see where it takes me.ā
