The young Northern Irish defender, who played a crucial role in the Reds’ 1–0 triumph at Anfield, shared his excitement online with the caption: “Enjoyed that one! Thank you, Anfield ❤️” — a simple but powerful message after a night where he completely shut down Vinícius Júnior.
His impressive defensive performance caught the attention of many, including fellow right-back Jeremie Frimpong, who couldn’t resist teasing his teammate by replying: “Talk about locking someone 👀👀.”
The light-hearted remark was quickly noticed by fans and players alike, with Hugo Ekitike, Ryan Gravenberch, Giorgi Mamardashvili, and Dominik Szoboszlai all joining the fun in the comments, celebrating Bradley’s standout performance.
Frimpong, who is currently recovering from injury, has been open about his frustration during his time on the sidelines. In a recent TikTok post, he said: “As a footballer, it’s never easy being out injured… it’s really annoying, but that’s football.”
Despite being out of action, his message to Bradley highlights the strong bond forming within Arne Slot’s squad — a mix of determination, humility, and team spirit that’s driving Liverpool’s resurgence this season.
Slot’s Faith in Bradley Paying Off
Arne Slot had praised Bradley before the match, saying: “He did very well against Real Madrid last season — he’s fitter, stronger, and improving every week.”
Those words proved true under the lights at Anfield.
According to Opta stats, Bradley restricted Vinícius Jr. to a single shot and just 0.03 expected goals throughout the game — a defensive masterclass that helped Liverpool secure back-to-back wins after their 2–0 triumph over Aston Villa.
Moments like these — teammates cheering one another from the sidelines — reveal the deep sense of camaraderie running through this Liverpool team.
With both Bradley and Frimpong developing under Slot’s system, the right side of Liverpool’s defense looks set for an exciting future. 🔴🔥
