Ian Wright Highlights Conor Bradley's Rising Potential at Liverpool
Do you think Conor Bradley could surpass Trent Alexander-Arnold? Ian Wright praised Bradley's flawless performance for Liverpool against Real Madrid, suggesting the Northern Irish defender is ready to elevate his game to a new level at Anfield.
Marking Vinicius Jr Successfully
Bradley effectively contained Vinicius Jr, who repeatedly sought penalties and free kicks during the match. Despite numerous attempts, Vinicius failed to outplay Bradley and eventually resorted to diving, hoping to get Bradley cautioned to benefit Real Madrid. Thankfully, the referee did not fall for these tactics, allowing Bradley to maintain composure throughout.
Impact on Bradley’s Confidence and Team Role
This standout display is expected to boost Bradley's confidence under manager Arne Slot. With every tackle and pass executed precisely, he showed remarkable composure. Although Liverpool signed Jeremie Frimpong before the 2025-26 season, Frimpong’s injury and inconsistent form create a vacancy that Bradley is poised to fill.
"Bradley arguably put in one of his best-ever performances for Liverpool on Tuesday. Every single tackle and pass was on point, and to be honest, the defender hardly ever put a foot wrong."
Speaking on the Stick to Football Podcast, Wright emphasized how this performance could be pivotal for Bradley's confidence moving forward.
Summary
Ian Wright believes Conor Bradley’s exceptional defense against Real Madrid signals his rise as a crucial player for Liverpool.
