Teddy Sheringham Praises Bradley
Former England star and Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham praised Bradley's display, comparing him to a young Steven Gerrard.
“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’. 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.”
Expectations for Bradley’s Future
Sheringham highlighted Bradley’s potential role in Liverpool’s 2025/26 season and beyond, emphasizing the player's promising qualities.
“I was very impressed by him. 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.”
Context of the Match
The match also marked Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first return to Anfield after his transfer, adding extra significance to Bradley’s standout performance.
