What separates the good from the great is their work ethic and mindset.
Jones received a setback in his Liverpool career this week with his penalty miss against Paris Saint-Germain, but the midfielder’s reaction to it has been quite impressive.

Liverpool’s players were under pressure during their penalty shootout with PSG on Tuesday the second Darwin Nunez had his kick saved.
The next player to step up knew that he could not afford to miss and unfortunately for Jones, he was the designated taker after the Uruguayan star.

Jones would see his penalty saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma and with it, the Reds were on the brink of elimination.
Harvey Elliott expects Jones to bounce back from the setback and going off his attitude towards the miss, the 24-year-old certainly will.
There will be times when it goes well, other times when I get caught in possession or miss a penalty, like Tuesday night.
“That comes with who I want to be.
I’m fine if I go up there and I miss, but I’m not fine if I’m driving home knowing I was too scared to take a penalty.”
This next part in Jones’ career is going to be crucial as the 24-year-old has to work his way into becoming a nailed-on starter in Slot’s team.
Should he achieve this next season, the midfielder has the potential to be a great at Liverpool as the mentality he has shown after his PSG miss is not found in every footballer.
This will place more pressure on Jones as the midfielder will be the only scouser viewed as a key player in the Liverpool squad.
