The “Polish Messi” of Liverpool made his U21 debut. Klopp has it on his radar

Theo Squires (Liverpool Echo journalist): These viral hits came from playing at the U-18 level and his first year at Liverpool. Since then, Musilovski had to prepare for the transition to the U23/U21 level. He needs time to get used to obviously more physical play and he is still 18 years old. As a result, he did not play as much as last season for the under-18 team. This does not detract from his skill. He’s just a player who breaks through the youth system.

Mateusz Musilovsky is on Jurgen Klopp’s radar. What is the future of Liverpool?

In the summer, Musilovsky made his debut for the Liverpool first team, but later he made only occasional appearances for the U23 team, and he played his last match in mid-August. Is there anything to worry about?

Nothing to worry about. He is a young player who attracted attention from an early age. As I said, it takes time to adapt and take the next step. Rarely anyone at that age is ready to play for the first team. The fact that he played in the pre-season match against Strasbourg shows that he is well regarded and that has been a reward for his work so far. He already knows what the first command tastes like, and he will have to work hard to find out more.

Sensationally, Musialovsky signed a contract with Liverpool and joined the main squad of the Reds.

What are Musialovski’s biggest problems on the pitch?

Like any young player, consistency. In matches, he drifts and has to fight against more physical defenders. But over time it will acclimatise.

What needs to happen for Musialovsky to get into the first team of Liverpool?

He has to consistently impress at a youth level, work hard, learn from his coaches and listen to what they have to say. Under-21 football didn’t make his job any easier. If he is comfortable at this level, he may be ready for the next step.

Does Liverpool still believe in him? What is Musilovsky’s place in Jurgen Klopp’s hierarchy?

He is one of many young players on Klopp’s radar who are highly regarded by the club. Would benefit from moving the first team from the training ground to the AXA training centre, allowing Klopp to work more closely with young players. But he is still a young player, but he is hardly in a hurry for a professional debut. This shows that there is still a lot of work to be done.

“Returning to Poland would not be the best decision for him”

In the summer, there were reports that Musilovsky was able to return to Poland. How much truth?

Liverpool rarely hire such young players and a return to Poland may not be the best for Musilowski’s long-term hopes at Liverpool. I was aware of such speculation, but little was said about it in the UK. I don’t know if there was some truth in this or not.

Are Liverpool considering loaning Musialowski to start collecting minutes on the pitch? What direction can be taken into account?

Liverpool judge what is best for each player and discuss with everyone whether a loan is worth it or should they stay. If the club received an offer, they could discuss it. But he still seems too young to be rented while still growing in his youth. Maybe next year, but it depends on how he performs in U21.

Can U21 performances improve his standing at Liverpool?

Yes, they can. This will give him confidence and he will definitely do something well from the time he got the call. Now he needs to return to Liverpool and start playing more consistently for the under-21 side. Maybe he will play in one of the League Cup matches right before or after the World Cup in Qatar. But only if he is fit and makes a good impression at youth level.
