"Self-confidence for a football player is really important because usually you play in front of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 thousand people and without confidence, that's not possible, I can tell you. Yes, it helps," Jurgen Klopp said of Curtis Jones' role in the LFC squad.
"Doing the right thing in the right moments helps as well. That's what he had to learn in the last few years because he was absolutely exceptional and maybe the top player of each age group he was in.
"[That] means he had to learn to play together with other players – he made massive steps in that department. He had brilliant role models in this squad.
"And now, the door is open. I don't want to make the performance smaller than it was because it's absolutely exceptional. The way he scores, the way he contributes to the game, that's all really exceptional.
"But Curtis knows himself there's a lot of space for improvement, like being in a game really over 90 minutes, really being involved – not only on the pitch and these kind of things. There's space for improvement. It's good."
Jones made his debut for Liverpool's senior team back in January 2019. All in all, the 19-year-old has played 16 games for Klopp's crew, scoring 5 goals and providing an assist.
Most recently, CuJo impressed in a 7-2 victory over Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup third-round tie as the Academy kid scored a brace.
