With two more players playing for U21 teams, the Reds had 15 players away on duty for their nations.
Stefan Bajcetic, who is presently on loan at RB Salzburg from Liverpool, was one of those young talents.
Many Liverpool fans had hoped that Bajcetic would be included in the senior team this season, but Arne Slot decided to send the Spaniard to Salzburg instead.
Since then, Slot has been shown to be correct in selecting Bajcetic, as the 20-year-old has played more minutes than he would have if he had remained with the Reds.
On the other hand, Bajcetic is highly regarded at Liverpool, and he has been demonstrating why this week while on the road with the Spain U21s.Stefan Bajcetic curls during free-kick training.Bajcetic probably would have been a perfect fit for Slot’s midfield if he hadn’t been recovering from over 18 months of inactivity.
The former Celta Vigo prospect is tenacious, wiry, and a superb ball handler. He possesses all the skills necessary to succeed for Liverpool in the middle of the field.However, he must first fully recover and resume playing regular football.
Additionally, Bajcetic made two more appearances for Salzburg after already making 11 forThe Spanish youth team’s official X account posted a video of Bajcetic and his teammates practicing free kicks prior to Tuesday’s match against the Danes.
Bajcetic stepped up after witnessing Javi Guerra, Pablo Torre, and Gabri Veiga all make outstanding efforts over the training wall and into the net.
As casual as you like, the Liverpool player sent a side-footed attempt past the goalie and over the dummies. Beautiful.Stefan Bajcetic’s confidence is increasingRecently, there were rumors that Serbia was attempting to recruit Bajcetic to represent them instead of Spain.
But after joining the U21 camp in November, it now appears doubtful that they will succeed.
Bajcetic will undoubtedly remain a member of the Spanish team if he plays for Salzburg on a regular basis. If he then succeeds at Liverpool once more, a senior call-up would not be far off.
All of this is wonderful news for Liverpool and Bajcetic. The child does not appear to be reacting negatively to playing, so any minutes are welcome at this stage.
It appears that forecasts that Bajcetic will be a future star at Liverpool are beginning to come true as his confidence keeps rising and the player who made such an impression in 2022–2023 makes a comeback.
