Man Utd Legend Compliments Conor Bradley After Real Madrid Win
Conor Bradley received high praise for his exceptional performance in Liverpool's victory over Real Madrid. Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham compared Bradley to Steven Gerrard, highlighting his impact in the match.
Bradley's Defensive Mastery Against Europe's Best
The Northern Ireland international was outstanding against the 15-time European champions, effectively containing Vinicius Jr during Liverpool’s 1-0 win at Anfield. This marked a repeat of his strong defensive display against Kylian Mbappe a year earlier.
Emerging as Liverpool’s First-Choice Right-Back
Bradley’s performance reaffirmed his potential as Liverpool's new preferred right-back. His form has improved notably in recent games, especially after a tough start to the season, much to the relief of manager Arne Slot.
Sheringham’s High Praise
“Conor Bradley definitely stepped up to the plate last night against Vinicius,” Sheringham told Oddspedia. “Bradley has probably not found that level of consistency yet, but parts of his game make me go, ‘wow’.”
“I look at him like a young Steven Gerrard coming onto the scene – he’s got that tenacity and drive about him and has a huge amount of quality.”
Context of the Performance
The timing of Bradley's display was significant, coinciding with Trent Alexander-Arnold's first return to Anfield following his summer transfer. Bradley’s resurgence adds strength to Liverpool’s defensive options.
Summary: Conor Bradley's strong defensive showing against top opponents has drawn elite praise, positioning him as Liverpool’s promising new right-back.
