Trey Nyoni on his Liverpool role and Andoni Iraola's faith - 'I don't get nervous, never'

The 19-year-old midfielder scored in the European Cup this week and is adapting quickly to first-team football under Iraola's guidance.

Trey Nyoni has enjoyed a landmark week at Liverpool despite the club's mixed results. The 19-year-old made his full Premier League debut against Arsenal on Sunday and then became the youngest player in Liverpool's history to score in the European Cup during Wednesday's match against Fenerbahce.

Nyoni is adjusting to the intensity of playing multiple games in quick succession, something he never experienced in the academy. He credits the faith shown by manager Andoni Iraola and his senior teammates for helping him settle. "I don't get nervous, never," Nyoni said. "The faith in youth the manager has and the players around me have in me, that helps me settle a lot more."

Statistically, Nyoni has impressed with his defensive contributions and pass completion under pressure. In the Champions League group stage, he has completed 92% of his passes under high-intensity pressure, the highest in the competition ahead of Barcelona's Pedri. Liverpool is understood to be close to agreeing an improved contract with the midfielder as recognition of his rapid development.
