Liverpool midfielder speaks about his struggles after breaking into first-team.
The Liverpool academy graduate took time to establish himself in Jurgen Klopp’s squad but is currently enjoying the finest period of his career.
Jones has progressed through the ranks at Liverpool and has now cemented his spot in the first-team squad this season.
The 22-year-old midfielder made his senior debut back in 2019 and explained how he slowly improved certain aspects of his game under the management of Jurgen Klopp.
He has managed to book his spot in the first team despite the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch this summer.
Jones recalled: “As an academy kid I was always a kid who jumped up the age groups. Then I came into the first team and I kind of felt like I hit a wall, and I couldn’t really take the next step. So it was more just going over my game and seeing where the improvements were.
“Now the fans are all saying about how I go and press. I’ve never been a kid who thought about being the first one to go and press or to try to run the most, so I’ve added that in my game. I’ve still got a lot of things to learn, but I’m getting there.”
