Liverpool are up and running for pre-season after Dominik Szoboszlai's goal secured a 1-0 victory for the Reds against Real Betis
In what was a relatively comfortable performance from Arne Slot's side, there was one man in particular who stood out for Anfield legend Sami Hyypia
Liverpool have taken a rather depleted first-team across the pond for their pre-season tour, despite the likes of Mohamed Salah and goalscorer Szoboszlai turning out for the Reds
with a number of players still yet to return from international duty
Plenty of youth and academy players have been given their chance to impress,
But following Friday's 1-0 victory against Real Betis, it was last season's breakout star Conor Bradley who stood out the most for Hyypia
The 21-year-old deputized magnificently in the wake of the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold last season and it seems he's already picked up where he left off.
Having started the Acrisure Stadium contest, the Northern Ireland international managed 64 minutes in Pittsburgh
Bradley provided an impressive display that helped the Reds keep a welcome clean sheet. Not only that, but he was a constant threat down the right flank, too.
Following the game, Hyypia did not hold back on what he thought of the youngsters' performance
Hyypia
“I was very impressed. It’s the first time live I’ve seen him and he was tremendous. Full of energy and a lot of touches. He went forward all of the time.”
Bradley will now be hoping to push on from last season's breakthrough campaign
With Alexander-Arnold still yet to return from his extended break, the Northern Irishman has the perfect opportunity to show Slot what he can do
