The "Red Army" Liverpool has recently traveled to Hong Kong to continue preparing for the new season. When interviewed, Gakpo talked about his new teammate Frimpong and believed that the defender's speed and excellent crossing ability could help the team achieve good results.

Frimpong, who is from the Netherlands, joined Liverpool at the end of May and signed a long-term contract. In the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, Frimpong contributed 5 goals and 5 assists for Leverkusen, and his performance was recognized.

Liverpool striker Gakpo said: "Frimpon can bring a lot of performance. I think he has a lot of qualities. One of the most outstanding features is that he is probably the fastest player in the team."

"He's really quick and he's really good at crossing the ball. He can defend and attack, so I think he's going to be a big help for us."

In addition, Van Bronckhorst, who is also from the Netherlands, joined Liverpool in July as an assistant coach in Sloter's coaching team. During his playing career, Van Bronckhorst played for Arsenal, Barcelona and Feyenoord, and played more than 100 games for the Dutch national team.

Speaking of assistant coach Van Bronckhorst, Gakpo said, "He has a lot of experience as a player and as a coach. I think he can teach us a lot from his playing career and coaching experience, and he can also share a lot of stories about his playing days and the teams he played for, so I believe everyone is looking forward to what he can bring."

Liverpool, on the other hand, will travel to Kai Tak Sports Park to take on Serie A giants AC Milan in a pre-season friendly.

Gakpo said, "The intensity of pre-season preparations is gradually increasing and we must prepare for the new season. We performed well last season and we hope to get better as a team and compete for the league title and European achievements again."

As for how it felt to meet the Hong Kong fans, Jakpo said, "As soon as we arrived at the hotel, many fans came to greet us and cheered for us. They never let us down. As we always say, you never walk alone. We are very much looking forward to participating in the game here, and there will definitely be a lot of fans on site."
