In years to return, Vitezslav Jaros could look again on the evening of 30 October 2024 as a seminal second in his profession.
The Czech goalkeeper marked his first senior begin for Liverpool with an attention-grabbing efficiency as he made 5 saves within the Reds’ 3-2 win over Brighton within the Carabao Cup, most notably a surprising response cease to disclaim Simon Adingra early within the second half.
Among the many post-match exchanges between the 2 camps, the 23-year-old was a subject of explicit curiosity for a positional peer on the opposite group.
Verbruggen was asking all about Jaros
As reported by Paul Gorst for the Liverpool Echo, Brighton ‘keeper Bart Verbruggen approached the Reds’ head of goalkeeping Fabian Otte within the tunnel on the Amex Stadium with a collection of questions.
The Seagulls stopper is believed to have enquires about Jaros’ age and nationality, in addition to his most well-liked kicking foot and the place he’d beforehand been on mortgage from Anfield.
Otte patiently fielded every of these questions earlier than telling the 22-year-old that the Czech goalie’s aforementioned heroics to disclaim Adingra was ‘among the best of the saves I’ve seen in a protracted, very long time’.
Jaros definitely caught the attention final evening
Though Verbruggen is a 12 months youthful than Jaros, he’s accrued way more high-level expertise, enjoying greater than 50 occasions for Brighton and Netherlands mixed, but it surely speaks to the Seagulls custodian’s want to enhance that he held that impromptu Q&A with Otte after the match final evening.
Jaros is unlikely to characteristic recurrently for Liverpool this season, until Caoimhin Kelleher have been to hitch Alisson Becker on the remedy desk, although his efficiency on the Amex means that he may very well be handed additional appearances by Arne Slot over the approaching months.
In simply his second senior outing for the Reds, the 23-year-old is already attracting loads of admiring glances; and with Giorgi Mamardashvili coming to Merseyside subsequent summer time, the Czech ‘keeper might turn into a needed man for fairly a number of golf equipment who’d be keen at hand him common game-time.
Even when Jaros doesn’t handle to determine himself at Anfield within the long-term, we wouldn’t be in the slightest degree stunned if FSG have been to fetch a tidy switch payment for him previous to him thriving elsewhere.
