It's Inside Liverpool FC Academy week at Bleacher Report, and to kick things off we have an exclusive interview with the man some are billing as "the next Steven Gerrard"—teen midfield starlet Jordan Rossiter, who made his first-team debut earlier this season.
Rossiter is just 17 years old but has already made his first appearance in a senior match for Liverpool, even scoring on his debut against Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup at Anfield. He's still waiting for his Premier League debut, though he has featured in several matchday squads as he fights for a place on the first-team scene.
Here's our full chat with the Reds' No. 46 on his debut, his hopes for the season and how he gets on with manager Brendan Rodgers.
BLEACHER REPORT: How much notice did you have before kick-off that you’d be making your debut against Middlesborough, and how did you feel at the time?
Jordan Rossiter: I got told the night before training with the first team at a team meeting that I was going to be starting. I can’t describe it, I couldn’t believe it.
BR: A debut Liverpool goal isn’t something everyone gets to experience so just how special was that moment?
JR: To make my debut was a dream come true but to score…I’d never even thought about it. I just wanted to have a good game and show everyone what I could do. When I scored it was a bonus.
