When asked if the goal was a glimpse into Liverpool’s future, Slot responded: “Yeah, but not only the long future, also the near future.“I think I’ve said a few weeks, maybe months ago, one or two months ago, that his playing time would increase because he got stronger and stronger, showed more and more when he came in, but also in training sessions, that it wasn’t only a nice trick, but there was more and more end product to what he did.“There was more and more power to what he did, which is needed if you play against the best defenders in the world. And I don’t think anyone is surprised that at this moment of time he scored his first goal [at Anfield].”The Liverpool boss continued: “He has such a special quality which you don’t see a lot in football anymore: dominating the one-v-one situation.

And that’s exactly what he did when he scored his goal, making the ball free by twisting and turning and then hitting it in like a Mo Salah finish, I would say.“Ngumoha featured 29 times for the Reds across all competitions, and his breakthrough season has continued on to the international stage. Ngumoha was presented with his first England cap by Jude Bellingham, and the Real Madrid star spoke glowingly about the teenager’s display.His performances have reportedly attracted interest from Bayern Munich.
