Hertha Berlin manager Pal Dardai, who described Marko Grujić as "the best midfielder we've had in 20 years".
The praise came after Grujić scored a towering header for the Berlin club to beat Eintracht Frankfurt at the Olympiastadion, sealing back to back wins.
In just his seventh appearance for the Bundesliga club, Dardai spoke in glowing terms about the Serbian midfielder after a dominant performance.
“Marko is the best midfielder we have had in the last 20 years. The club is doing everything to make it last longer,” the manager told reporters after the game - a very humble admission from the man who played in midfield for Hertha for 14 years.
Grujic has become one of Hertha's most important and most popular players already, with centre-back Fabian Lustenberger telling herthabsc.de that “Marko has everything: offensive quality, defensive stability, strength and footballing ability.”
“You often talk about a complete player and you need a lot to fulfil all the criteria as a central midfielder. We are glad that he is fit with us and again,” Lustenberger said.
Unfortunately for them, he is only on a season long loan from Liverpool. However, given the competition to break into Liverpool's midfield - Naby Keita is struggling for starts - don't be surprised to see Grujić make the move permanent come the summer.
