Conor Bradley Draws Comparisons to a Young Gerrard
Conor Bradley stood out during Liverpool’s victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night. His confident performance caught the attention of former England striker Teddy Sheringham, who spoke glowingly about the young right-back.
“Conor Bradley definitely stepped up to the plate last night against Vinicius. Bradley has probably not found that level of consistency yet, but parts of his game make me go, ‘wow’,” said Sheringham.
The Manchester United and England legend compared the Northern Irishman to a young Steven Gerrard, praising his energy and mentality.
“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,” Sheringham added.
Sheringham also highlighted Bradley’s potential role in Liverpool’s future success, suggesting that his performance demonstrated he belongs at the top level.
“If he can defend that well against Vinicius – one of the best players in the world – then he’s definitely on the way to becoming a real success at Liverpool. The challenge for him now is whether he can sustain those levels, but I’m confident he’ll be able to in the future,” he concluded.
