In the moment, he’s the one hosting the video. It’s quite clear that this is not his first time singing this song and it’s not their [Argentina squad] first time singing this song because they’re all happy, all singing and they’re all joyful because they’ve just won the Copa America.

But at the same time, in that relaxed environment and it comes out as easy as it did, his teammates will never trust him the same way.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says Ryan Gravenberch still has “a lot to prove” in his new position as the team’s holding midfielder.

The 22-year-old, the last signing of the Jurgen Klopp era, was handed the pivotal number six role in last weekend’s victory over Ipswich.

Although he has played all across the centre of the park in his relatively short career with Ajax and Bayern Munich he had not been tested in the role at Anfield until this summer when Slot took over.

A couple of appearances in pre-season enabled him to move ahead of Wataru Endo, a genuine deep-lying midfielder, in the pecking order in the position which had earmarked for before the Spain international had a change of heart over a move.
