We remember Sepp van den Berg as a very disgruntled Liverpool player who left the club with bitterness over the treatment. It says a lot about Liverpool as a club when the 23-year-old sees himself returning to Anfield after just seven months.
There was not exactly a good atmosphere between Sepp van den Berg and the Liverpool management when the Dutchman spoke last summer about what he really thinks of his employer. The Dutch player was brought in in 2019, with four senior games in the red shirt and the rest on loan, the Dutchman wanted to leave Anfield. Even that was a lengthy process where Van den Berg thought Liverpool were demanding an unrealistically high price. However, it ended with a £25 million transfer to Brentford.
Here, the 23-year-old has been a given from the start at Thomas Frank. Does this mean that the dream of a Liverpool adventure has evaporated and forgotten?
Van den Berg was asked the question by the Dutch media.
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t dream of returning to Liverpool one day. It’s still in my mind,” he begins to Voetbal Primeur.
-But for now, it was better for my career to take a different path and play a lot. That’s what I’m doing now, and it allows me to develop as well as possible. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t look at [Liverpool’s defensive injuries] myself. It’s football, you don’t know. I did well in pre-season for Liverpool, but didn’t get the cred that I have at Brentford,” says Van den Berg.
