Remarkably, in his very first club media appearance in Italy, Kerkez credited Tamas for his support and mentorship- an acknowledgement that hasn’t gone unnoticed.
“Of course, it was really nice to hear.
I’m very happy for him, and I like him because he has never forgotten where he came from.”
“Also, how you train is how you play, and he has the same attitude off the pitch – he brings a lot of energy every single game.”
Now a regular for Hungary’s national team and one of the Premier League’s standout fullbacks, Kerkez’s rise has been impressive.
“I’m very impressed with his progress.
Now he is one of the best full-backs in the Premier League and I am happy.”
“He has a great mentality.
He works hard from the first minute to the last – it’s essential.”
Tamas highlights not just his footballing qualities, but his personal values as well, claiming that he is an excellent footballer, but also “a great person outside the game”.
“It’s very exciting for me to see how he’s developing game by game and season by season.
If the move happens, I can’t wait to see him play for one of the best clubs in the world.- especially because of its Hungarian connection.”
Should Kerkez join Liverpool, Tamas believes he can thrive under the mentorship of Andy Robertson, whom he sees as the ideal role model.
“He’s always ready to learn and listen.
I think Robertson would be a great helper for him.”
With this deal progressing, the addition of a dynamic, high-upside fullback like Kerkez will be a strategic move for the future.
