Gravenberch’s Lucky Break: From Benched to Brilliant…
Hold onto your socks, because Michael Owen is dishing out some spicy football fortune cookies about Liverpool’s midfield wizard Ryan Gravenberch! According to Owen, Gravenberch dodged the $68 million Martin Zubimendi bullet that zipped past Anfield like a rogue UFO. Apparently, when the Liverpool spaceship was all set to beam Zubimendi up from Real Sociedad, a twist of fate kept him on his home planet, allowing Gravenberch to strut his stuff front and center.
In a plot twist bigger than a game of musical chairs, Gravenberch leapt onto the field during a midfield merry-go-round and has spun his way into coach Arne Slot’s good books. Owen, who knows a thing or two about goals and glory, believes that under Slot’s banner, Gravenberch has turned into a midfield magician, transforming unlucky breaks into midfield miracles. If Zubimendi had swapped his Sociedad sombrero for a Liverpool scarf, the Reds might still be singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ to a different tango, but Owen argues that any player diving into the Liverpool pool of talent would eventually swim.
Owen didn’t miss a chance to aim a cheeky banana kick at his other old flame, Manchester United, suggesting their transfer tactics are about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. While the Red Devils juggle their woes, the Reds are dancing on the edge of clinching the Premier League crown if Arsenal slips on a Crystal Palace banana peel. Whether they’ll pop the champagne with goals or grumbles remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Gravenberch continues to dazzle with dribbles and pass pizzazz, making sure Liverpool fans sing his praises as they march to glory.
