Liverpool FC striker Jurgen Klopp could look to the future

Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster is determined to repay Jurgen Klopp's faith as a full-fledged option and a long-term future for the club.

The 18-year-old has been marginalized for 13 months because of ankle and knee problems, but he is so appreciated that the club did not hesitate to sign him for his first five-year professional contract last summer.

Klopp has already highlighted the pre-season with his team on which Brewster should focus, but the Reds boss has remained in close contact with the teenager, rebaduring him about his future plans.

"It's been a frustrating time, I've been out for a long time and I do not wish it to anyone," Brewster said at a day for a safer internet organized by the club as part of their partnership with Red Neighbors.

"It happened and I'm finally in shape and I do what I like and I try to get back on the team.

"To know that the boss really wants me to be in his future plans is incredible, especially a boss like him.

"They could easily have left me at the academy to do my rehabilitation but they wanted me to do my rehab with them, so I can not thank them enough.

"During this injury, he was present from beginning to end and knowing that he still wants me if it's been so long – gives me a big boost.

"Every time I see him, he takes me in his arms, not only him, every time I see the players to whom they ask, I ask them how am I, how long?", They can not wait until I'm back I hope to make my debut this year, if not the next. "

Even though he had the reward of a long contract last summer, Brewster will not rest on his laurels.

The long dismissal period made him even more determined to return ready to claim a place alongside Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

"This is not really comfortable because I do not like the comfort zone," said the winner of the 2017 Under-17 World Cup of his contract.

"I like to work hard for my job, so all I do is to recover from an injury and try to get in shape."

"I want to prove to everyone that the boss has trusted me for a reason and I want to prove to everyone that I am good enough to be part of the first team.

"When I get back, that's what I hope to do, it does not stop, I'm going to keep pushing myself.

"I have to go on and I hope I'm here for more than five years."

Brewster was participating in Safer Internet Day at Anfield, where 500 schoolchildren were introduced to online safety.

The attacker acknowledges that his profile on social networks helped him during the difficult period of rehabilitation.

"I've been out for a long time and it's good to know that people are still here and still believe in me and what I can do." Social media, especially Instagram "I have helped a lot," he said.

"I know it sounds crazy, but I'm the idol of some kids, so I know so early what social media imposes me.

"They may not see me in real life, so for them it's the only way for them to get close to me, so it's very important, not only to me but for them too.

"The good thing is that I have a lot of fans who want to know how my progress and my progress are going, but you have trolls who hate, people who just want to belittle you but I do not care." They are honest. "
