  "account": "Defender Jeremy Jacquet registered his first goal on his Liverpool debut during a 2-0 pre-season friendly win over Serie A side Como at Anfield on Sunday. The 21-year-old Frenchman joined Liverpool from Como in January for a reported £60 million ($81 million), but a persistent knee injury had sidelined him until the arrival of Cesc Fabregas's Como. In his first appearance for Liverpool, the centre-back demonstrated impressive defensive skills, making timely challenges and ultimately scoring a tap-in from Cody Gakpo's cross in the 44th minute, giving the Merseysiders the lead. At halftime, 21-year-old Ronald Araujo replaced Jacquet, who had made his debut. Liverpool's goalkeeper Andoni Iraola praised both debutants, highlighting their strong performances and mentioning Ronald Araujo's impact as a rookie. The visitors also thanked Ronald Araujo for his contribution when he came on in the second half. Gravenberch came closest to scoring during a lackluster second half when he hit the crossbar with a fine effort after Victor Munoz's work. Iraola expressed the desire for a clean sheet and a win as the team prepares for their Premier League opener against Newcastle a week later.",
