Liverpool enjoyed a reassuring 2-0 victory over Como at Anfield in a pre-season friendly that served to fine-tune the final details before the start of the new season. The big star of the night was young defender Jeremy Jacquet, who, on his debut, scored the second goal of the match, confirming the hope that the team has in him after his signing from Rennes in February.
The first goal of the match was scored by Cody Gakpo, who also had an outstanding performance. Jacquet's goal came just before half-time when he finished off Gakpo's cross effectively, extending the lead for Andoni Iraola's side. This was a special moment for Jacquet, who received a warm welcome from the Anfield fans, exciting the crowd with precise passes and a strong defensive presence early in the game.
The first half of the match was dominated by Liverpool, who did not want to repeat the mistakes of the previous week, when they let a two-goal lead slip against Monaco. In the second half, the pace of the match slowed, allowing Como to have more possession, but Liverpool's defense remained solid. Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch had a good opportunity to increase the lead, but saw his shot hit the bar.
Among the highlights of the game, in addition to Jacquet and Gakpo, were also Jeremie Frimpong and Rio Ngumoha, who showed quality in their performance. However, other players, such as Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, performed below expectations. Isak, who had shone in the previous match against Monaco, found himself less influential and even hit a post.
Jacquet got off to a promising start, with the fans' first cheers coming just 30 seconds after kick-off, when he made passes that demonstrated his desire to contribute to the game. With every good deed, his name echoed around Anfield, especially when he managed a powerful tackle in front of the famous Kop stand.
Despite some mistakes, such as a missed challenge and a bad throw-in, Jacquet redeemed himself with crucial interventions, culminating in a goal that earned him the trust of the team and fans. With Ronald Araujo arriving on loan, Jacquet is seen as a long-term solution for Liverpool's defense, and this debut was an encouraging step.
Coach Andoni Iraola highlighted the importance of ending the pre-season with a victory and a clean sheet. "We needed this feeling of finishing with a victory and without conceding a goal. The first half was better than the second, but we maintained the necessary organization and composure. We found the way to guarantee the victory and we needed this before the start of the season", said the coach.
What happens next
With this victory, Liverpool now prepare for their first game of the Premier League season, which will be against Newcastle at St James' Park. Andoni Iraola's team will have to maintain the consistency shown against Como, especially in terms of defense and taking advantage of opportunities. Expectations are high to see how Jacquet and other new players will integrate into the team's dynamics throughout the season.
