Liverpool defender reflects on Aston Villa draw and reveals being 'absolutely gutted'
Jarell Quansah couldn’t hide his disappointment after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw away at Aston Villa, rueing the missed opportunity to secure all three points. The defender, who scored his maiden Premier League goal during the game, expressed his feelings of frustration at not leaving Villa Park with a victory.
His first goal for Liverpool across all competitions came in the 2-1 defeat against Union St. Gulloise back in December. Scoring his first Premier League goal meant the world to the 21-year-old, both personally and for the club. It’s a significant milestone in his career and a testament to his development and dedication.
Despite his young age, Quansah has shown immense promise, proving himself capable of competing at the highest level. It’s remarkable to think that just a year ago, he was playing on loan in League One, and now he’s making vital contributions to Liverpool’s Premier League campaign.
Here is what Quansah told the club’s official website, reflecting on the draw against the Villans.
“I’m definitely gutted, just disappointed really.”
“I think we were in complete control of the game the majority of the way through and once they get a goal, they get the taste for it. That’s ultimately what today was.”
Quansah’s goal against Villa also holds special significance in the context of Jurgen Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool. He became the 24th player under Klopp to score his first Premier League goal for the club. It’s a testament to Klopp’s ability to nurture young talent and provide them with opportunities to shine on the biggest stage.
As the season draws to a close and Klopp prepares to step down from his role, Quansah’s goal serves as a reminder of the manager’s impact on the club’s development.
Looking ahead, Quansah’s performance against Villa and his maiden Premier League goal will undoubtedly boost his confidence heading into the next season. With Arne Slot set to take charge as the new head coach, Quansah will be eager to impress and cement his place in the team. Slot’s arrival marks the beginning of a new era for Liverpool, and Quansah will be determined to play a significant role in the team’s future success.
Despite the disappointment of dropping points against Villa, Quansah’s goal and overall performance are reasons for optimism. As Liverpool look to rebuild and regroup under Slot’s leadership, Quansah will certainly be a key figure in the team’s plans for the future.
