Player reveals Liverpool trial and hopes for further opportunity | OneFootball

Mexican defender Luis Olivas has revealed how he had a trial with Liverpool back in 2014 but ultimately couldn’t stay on the books with the Reds as a youngster.

The player has recently made the breakthrough over in Mexico to play in the Chivas first-team but his development path could have been rather different had his time on Merseyside gone a little bit differently.

Speaking to Radio Formula over in Mexico, he said:

“They invited me in 2014 if I remember correctly, because of a tournament that I had with the national team, it was my first in Sweden. There they saw me and I had the possibility to go to do the trials, but due to minor issues, I could not stay.

“The truth is it was a very nice experience. The facilities, the players, the coaches, things are different. It’s another culture, also in terms of football, and that opens the picture a little more for you, and thank God I was given the opportunity and now hopefully that chance will be given again.”

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

Olivas is obviously now looking to make his name over in his home country but could well be eager to try and get a big move to a European side in the future.

He obviously has some experience of Liverpool and what it means to be at a world-renowned club but whether that means the Reds are still interested in him isn’t that clear.

He’s a player obviously making progress, though, and he’ll be eager to keep showing what he can do now he’s made the breakthrough at Chivas.
