Cody Gakpo has scored a number of goals against Arne Slot's sides in the past
Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has enjoyed a blistering start to Euro 2024. He has brought the Netherlands level in their Group D opener with Poland and arguably been the best player on the pitch.
Speaking to Viaplay, he admitted he was ‘very curious’ about the prospect of his compatriot replacing Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield dugout, as he recalled the ‘often difficult games’ he played against Slot’s Feyenoord side from his own time in the Eredivisie. Registering three goals and three assists from such outings, the now 25-year-old certainly impressed individually against Slot’s sides. However, his would-be manager boasts the upper-hand with such results proving costly to Gakpo in more ways than one.
Slot had already been dismissed by AZ, having already agreed to take over at Feyenoord from the start of the following season, when PSV clashed with them both times in 2020/21. Consequently, Gakpo would meet his next manager again until September 2021. Alas, they did not hold on as a 96th minute Dessers penalty earned Feyenoord a share of the spoils. The stalemate, coming with only two games of the season remaining would prove particularly costly for PSV as they finished second in the table and missed out on the title by just two points to Ajax.
