Jaroš got on the bench due to the fact that the goalkeeper number one Alisson Becker was missing due to an injury. Prior to that, he succeeded in February, when he was a substitute in the English Cup duel against Shrewsbury, in which the players from the A-team were missing.
“I think it was a dream come true. The Champions League is probably the biggest competition and it’s something I’ve always dreamed of. Even though it’s just a bench, it’s still a great success,” Jaroš said in an interview with the FACR website.

“I took it as a huge experience. Not everyone can get on the bench of Liverpool, even in such a big match when we played with Ajax. It was a beautiful experience and I would like to repeat it a few more times. It’s a pity that there were no spectators at the match , that would be even better, “added the goalkeeper of the Czech national team in their twenties.
Being right at the match was great, he says
It was clear to him that he probably wouldn’t get into the game in Amsterdam. “With Alisson number one being injured, I moved into the role of three. I’ve been as a three times several times, but I didn’t get on the bench. But since there is a change of rules now and you can have 12 players on the bench, that’s how it turned out. “I could be right in the match, which was great,” he praised himself.
He praises the valuable experience he has gained with the A-team
“We were two goalkeepers on the bench, if something happened to number one (Adrián). I probably wouldn’t jump anyway, because number two (Kelleher) has been with the team for about three years now, he has more experience than me. I think he would get a chance. , “Jaroš mused.
Due to the injury of Alisson, who returned to the poles on Saturday, Jaroš and Liverpool were “more” at matches more recently. “I’m more in the Liverpool under-23 team, which I should also play for. However, at the moment I went to matches with an A and I also train with them. By covering up the matches of a team under 23 and an A, I won’t catch much of it. But I think that it is still a valuable experience for me, that I can train with the Liverpool student and that I can complete a complete program with them, “Jaroš is pleased.
“I think everyone would give anything to train with such stars as they won the Champions League and the Premier League. Or at least see them with their own eyes. It’s a dream come true,” Jaroš added.
He has already spoken several times with the coach of the reigning English champions, Jürgen Klopp. “Goalkeepers’ coaches tend to communicate with us goalkeepers, but sometimes I talk to him, for example, when we are in the dining room or in similar situations. I think he is the way he affects people on TV, he is smiling, nice, top coach, which “The fact is that when he gets upset, you know it too,” Jaroš smiled.
He leaves his future open. “I will try my best to show in the ac, maybe play some matches when the chance arises. And if not, try hosting in a lower competition, as did Matěj Kovář from Manchester United when he went to Swindon. This way is not bad , few goalkeepers will get straight into the Premier League from the youth, “Jaroš added.
