Gravy : From Hell to Heaven

Ryan Gravenberch’s father: “I think if we had not been there with him, he would have landed in a depression. When you say something like that as a parent, people might think ‘oh dear, here is another father who thinks his son is so brilliant. But the football world is hard - and people in that world are too. A lot was said about him, but people forgot this was a young boy of 21.

The whole Bayern Munich adventure never worked out like he expected. He was working really hard, but he was never given a chance to shine. At that time, we could not dream that he would get a transfer to Liverpool and that Arne Slot would become his coach. When I look at what has happened to him with Slot and Liverpool I have to say in all honesty that he has gone from hell to heaven” (Via Dutch magazine Helden).
 
Gravy's been an absolute revelation, but Slot also gets major credit for the transformation IMO. Wherever the blame lies for the problems at Bayern (and these things are rarely the fault of only the club or only the player) it took Slot to work out Gravy's best position - he didn't play there for Bayern - and then to get him fully firing in it. Cliché or not, it really has been like signing a new player.

Revelation is the correct descriptor. Brilliant work by both coach and player.
