Cody Gakpo scores 8 goals for Netherlands in EUROs and World Cups, cementing major tournament legacy

Why is Cody Gakpo playing so much better for the Netherlands than he has been for Liverpool?

Cody Gakpo scored two goals in Netherlands' 5-1 victory over Sweden, bringing his major tournament tally to eight and approaching Marco van Basten's Dutch national record. The forward thrives under Koeman's direct tactical framework with clearer positioning, whereas at Liverpool he operates peripherally in Slot's crowded attacking setup, losing confidence and impact.
