Ryan Gravenberch explains big change since Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool with 'honest' admission

Liverpool midfielder has begun the new era under in electric form. And he has since the departure of in the summer.

"I think I had an OK season for my first season in the Premier League," Gravenberch told the . "My goal was to get more minutes than I had at my previous club and I reached that goal. There were ups and downs, but in the end I look back at my first season at with a good feeling."

Gravenberch only started four league matches for in the season before he left. Last year, he started 12 times for Liverpool in the Premier League and is already on seven out of seven so far under Slot.

"The is quicker than German football," he said. "It is more intense, both when you are in possession and when you are pressing. Counter-attacks are at speed and I think you get more time on the ball when you are in possession in the Bundesliga. You have to adapt here, but how quickly you adapt depends.

"Every player is different and, to be honest, I like a period to adapt. I wasn't used to the Premier League, of course, and I didn't play a lot of football before I came here, but I had the time to adapt and I really needed it.
