🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

um and that shows you with the two positions that we’re in but we also know that there’s a long way to go in both competitions and you know it’s not time to get carried to be I’m sure you probably knew as well that we were going to ask you something that isn’t positive at the moment because Mo obviously made some comments at the weekend about not being offered a contract and that he’s more out than in at the moment so I mean we saw you having a laugh with him at training but how do you feel about what he’s had to say and the prospect of him going in the summer I thought that was going to be your first question on that as well yeah like honestly for us for us as players it’s it’s nothing that we can really get involved in all I can say is you know you look at more today you look at Mo yesterday you look you know he’s the ultimate professional and In fairness it goes for all three of them you know mo viril and Trent who are all in similar positions you know every one of them is so focused on you know the next game and and training and preparing properly and you know they’ve been you know they’ve been leaders this year that’s you know that’s the way they’ve done it and I think if for us within the changing room I think if they can do that then you know we we kind of do that and we don’t get distracted by anything else and they’re not getting distracted and I think you know we’ all just excited for the game tomorrow night you kind of touched on it as well saying there’s still a long way to go but Mo also said that he’s fully focused on winning the Premier League and Champions League this season haven’t already been part of teams that have done both of those what do you see in this group that makes you think you could win one or both this season yeah look I think I think what we’ve shown is is that we can win football matches so far in this season but I also think there’s a long there’s a long way to go and we have to I think like you says we’ve you know there’s a few of us have got the experience of winning both and I think you know you need a consistency you need a bit of luck along the way as well in terms of injuries and form and things like that but so far we’ve we’ve had that you know we’ve had good performances and maybe when we’ve not been at our best we’ve still found a way to win which is which is good but you know we’re only what 12 games in the Premier League four games in the Champions League and um you know I still think there’s a lot of football to be played and there’ll be a lot of twists and turns and things like that but when you’re in a good moment you have to you have to try and keep going and try and build that momentum and I think that’s what we’ve been quite good at so far and we have to try and continue that because we know we’ve got big games coming up and you know if we can get results in them then you know our position can strengthen apologize Andy there’s probably been more high-profile games against Real Madrid than this one in recent Seasons but for the development of this team do you think a win over you know a team as as strong as realid is still an important stepping stone yeah of course I think you know obviously we’ve played since I’ve been here we’ve played Real Madrid I think five or six times and you know obviously we’ve not been on The Winning Side yet but I think you know there’s only a few of us that have probably been involved in that you know it’s quite a different you know Squad a new Squad that you know a lot of players probably haven’t faced Real Madrid with Liverpool yet and and also the same for them they’re you know a new Squad new fa season and things like that so I think when it comes to these big games and you play against you know the best players and the best teams then of course you want to be one involved in the games and and until you want to get the result because you know it probably be the most watched game this week and um that’s what big players want to be a part of and I think if we can get the win it just puts us in an even better position within the champions league but also you know you’re beating one of your competitors which is which is always nice so we’re excited by that Prospect but we also know how good Real Madrid can be and we know that they will come here full of belief and F of confidence that they can get the result and you know hopefully come you know tomorrow night we’re we’re the happier ones and there’s someone who’s been here a few years and won everything does does your leadership for the group become more important now given the situation that the the team is in as we stand this season yeah of course like I you know like I says the you know there’s only a few of us that have probably experienced um you know success as in the two there two probably big trophies um and we all we all have to dip into that and we have to help the new players the younger players and things like that because it can be quite easy to get you know carried away and and start looking too far ahead but you know I think we’ve got enough within the changes room that won’t allow that to happen and that’s where you know we rely on you know probably me Virgil Mo Trent Ali Joe Gomez people like that that have been there and done it that can you know just put a cam on everything and focus on the next game cuz that’s the most important so we’re fully focused on tomorrow night and then come 11:00 tomorrow night we’ll fully focus on Man City and then whatever happens in then we’ll fully focus on Newcastle and that’s just the way we work and we’ve always worked and I think that’s what will work best for our changing room and um you know obviously we are key to that and you just think any of the lads we played in 2018 and 22 2022 still feels though you might oldow them one though for what happened it must have been one of the low points in an otherwise high career no I don’t I don’t you know I don’t really look into you know ow people one or revenge or anything like that I think you know both games were both games were different I think 2018 was so important for our journey I think you know nobody really expected us to probably be in the Champions League final that year um and it gave us the belief that we could compete in that tournament again and go on and then win it the next year which was so important I think 2022 obviously hurt a lot more at the time with I thought we played well in the game I thought we you know dominated the game and you know their goalkeeper was man of the match which probably tells you a lot but they do what they do there’s a reason why they’ve won the competition the most out of any team and but there’s not you know I think the squad is is too new I think their squad’s too new and um we’re just looking at tomorrow to try and strengthen our position at the top of that table because we know how important finishing in the top eight can be in terms of you know seeding for the last 16 and not having a playoff and things like that and that’s you know that’s all we’re focused on CH the headphones headon [Music] yeah yeah yeah don’t worry I got it don’t wor it was a little bit quiet but I got it don’t worry um I think the question is about Trent yeah um no look Trent’s you know like I said one of the closest you know friends I’ve got in um in the changing room he’s we’ve kind of went on the journey together he’s um he’s obviously a fantastic footballer fantastic person and um and yeah you know the I think the quality speaks for himself um you know at the the top level um you know one of if not the best right back in in the world and I think he shows that year on year and probably people forget that he’s still you know fairly young he’s probably getting a we bit older now but he’s still um he’s still young enough to to get even better and I think I think that’s the main thing for him he’s got a a will to succeed a will to a will to learn and um you know I think you’ve seen that this season season as well and um yeah look he’s he’s a pleasure to play with um and you know obviously like it says we’ve kind of you know grown together within the fullback role and um you know I’ve enjoyed doing that with him CH next to you yeah like I think the manager and the you know the coaches that came in have been you know a breath of fresh air I think they’ve came in with their their ideas their new um you know there’s a lot of new staff and things like that and I think you know credit to the players I think we’ve all bought into it I think we’ve all really enjoyed it and look obviously results help that you know results help breed confidence within you know the coaches within the players and I think that’s you know that’s one of the key reasons but also the amount of work we do on the training pitch the amount of meetings we have how many hours the the manager and the coach he’s put in is um you know is incredible and they make sure that we’re the best prepared possible for for every single game and it’s up to us to then go out and try and play our best for them and I think more often or not this season we’ve done that and um you know hopefully that can continue but you know the manager and the coach since have came in have been fantastic um I think everyone’s enjoyed working with them and you know hopefully that can continue one H hi Andy when for FL scor in Spain um of course the results have been very good this season so far Olivia problem and yeah so as I was saying the results have been very good so far this season um and you have said that there are many different new phases since the since the previous matches against Real Madrid H so what are the main strengths in this SC into Squad to get a good result tomorrow night thank you yeah look I think I think one I’ve just touched on in terms of we’re playing with confidence we we’ve shown that we know how to win games this season um in different ways you know on Sunday we’ve obviously had to come from behind probably not our finest performance but we managed to find a way to win and then other times we’ve been able to you know keep a clean sheet other times we’ve been you know pretty comfortable in game so I think the confidence that the players are playing with can can help because going into a big game you want to be you want to be confident you want to feel good about yourself and and we believe in what we’re doing so I think I think that is what we go into every game thinking you know we believe that we can cause any team problems and we can try and get the best out of each other and we’ve shown that quite a few times this season and you know hopefully we can show that tomorrow night because you know there’s no bigger task than playing against Real Madrid and we’ll have to bring our aame to to try and get anything out of the game and and if we do that then you know I believe we’ve got enough on the pitch that can that can cause him problems after last one at the back as we got the LI manager weits com in and I can try it in English Sergio errero for Cente TV Mexico you you were talking before about your leadership in the team and today in the training before H you tried while you were warming up you grabb Mo Salah to put him the first I mean like he you know him very well how how does he he feel I mean you know him well is he like maybe a little bit sad because of this situation uh it didn’t look sad to me um mo mo comes into training every single day with a smile on his face he is in the gym working as hard as ever he’s in on the training pitch working as hard as ever so you know in terms of that he’s you know he’s he’s one of the happiest people in the training ground that’s for sure he enjoys every moment of of being in there and I think that that can tell I think if you can find me a picture from training today but he looks sad then then fair enough but I think he looks I think he looks happy at all times and I think he’s he’s such a focused individual that you know he he’ll be focused he’ll be in his house now probably focused on on tomorrow night and that’s that’s the main thing that’s what all good players do that’s what all the best in the world do and and most certainly falls into that category thank you thank you any first couple yeah I think you probably expect what’s coming next um obviously there were a few quotes from Mo at the weekend saying that he hadn’t been offered a new contract and he’s more out than in at the moment so how do you see the situation and what are you being told about how contract negotiations are going uh indeed people tell me about this but I’ve said many times we don’t share this over here at least I don’t share this over here um the only thing I can say is if I look at my lineups MO is more in than out um so uh that quote I can give you that said though when a player speaks out like that armor does it cause an issue in terms of a distraction when it comes to big games like like this and is there a genuine fear from yourself that you could lose mod in the summer now because his numbers are obviously still up there where you would want them to be yeah definitely we want his numbers to be where they are at at the moment because those are the numbers Mo always have had and still has so that’s the positive thing I don’t think he’s extra distracted at all I haven’t seen that after United game where he had some comments I haven’t seen it after uh a post you told me about after was he just kept on scoring I didn’t see anything today he’s just fully focused on the game tomorrow and I think these kind of things are inside here and probably in the media and all our fans talk about it which is completely normal but if you would have been a the EXA today I don’t think any any player talked about it at least that’s when I was there maybe they they always give each other a bit of stick uh so maybe they did this now as well but players are also are focused on the short term and that’s Madrid and that’s uh and that’s City and uh By the time most contract most cont is extended players don’t look at it that way we as a club of course do but the players don’t so I don’t think there’s any distraction at all for him or for the players and definitely not for me because I worked yesterday on uh preparing the team in the best possible way and it was not one time in my mind that I thought oh I’m sitting here tomorrow talking about Mo thank you TR an what does Liverpool Real Madrid conure up in your your mind it’s a big European Clash what what what’s your feeling about this game yeah it’s a it’s it’s a big game um I think uh uh Real Madrid Manchester City dominated Europe and the league for a few years now uh combined with Liverpool because Liverpool was always up there as well competing with these two clubs so it’s a special uh week for us especially because we played two times at home but uh if this week is done again the big week is coming up with Newcastle away and Derby side Mercy side Derby side Mercy side Derby so um if you if you are at Liverpool you always play big games but yeah these two are special because these three clubs have dominated the league in Europe for so many years recently so that’s a special week to play I will ask the question in English you’re extremely popular here the results have been amazing in the first couple of months um can you tell something about how it has been for you the first couple of months here and what is the reason you think of the great success you’re having in the first months as Liverpool manager I think I’m extremely popular in Holland as well aren kind of no only in only in Rotterdam um no results have been really good and results are always done by the players and if they have very good result that always is good for the manager and for the Press officer and for everyone who works at the club so um but we also know how much effort we have to put in to win these games and that’s why we always have to give credit to the players that put these efforts in to get these results um and as a result of that players are popular like you just heard because MO is quite popular over here and um and maybe the manager that is part of that results as well f k for now yes because they play City and we play City on Sunday so I definitely going to look uh City against finals you’re coming up against one of the the great managers of this era in Carlo angelotti your thoughts on facing him and what would it mean to you especially given how well you’ve started here were you to beat one of the best tomorrow that you have to ask me after the game if we were able to win from them but that that is a very difficult thing not only for Liverpool but for every Club that has played them in Europe because they can win in so many different styles in so many different ways that’s the better way to uh to put it that’s why they won this competition so many times because they can win to be really dominant and outplay the opponent but if it’s a difficult game they always find a way to win the game or to go to the next round and that’s what makes them special uh also of course because they are always having great great individual players great quality but that’s the nicest thing of tomorrow that’s why it’s so busy over here because Liverpool has some great players at the moment and for recent years as well so that’s why we’re all looking forward to the game tomorrow are you able to give this game full 100% Focus given there is another huge one against Manchester City to come will that be on your mind at all in the next 24 hours I think the answer was uh Sunday against Southampton where you could argue if you if the next game is room the next game is city are the players really ready to perform uh or are they looking at the next game no they didn’t of course I know we conceded two goals but if you look at those two goals the effort we did to prevent the other team from scoring was there we were in both situations a bit unlucky but the moment Robo made the tackle I think there were six or seven players from us around the ball the moment they scored the second one there were eight players from us inside the RO 18 yard box so we are not distracted by next opponents we’re only focused on the next game and that is now Real Madrid um yeah if you then look at the next one that I don’t think any football player would do that everybody just enjoys it to play tomorrow against Madrid especially here at anfield hi an um this is the fourth consecutive Champions League campaign that Liverpool faced Real Madrid and fifth out of the last seven times and as Andre Robertson referenced when he was sitting up there a minute ago Liverpool haven’t won any of them in that time when you’re trying to plan for this game do you go back to some of those games and maybe pick out some of the positive moments for example Kate’s performance in the 2022 final or maybe even going two nil up in the last time they came to anfield or do you just draw a line under it all try to get rid of all the potential emotional psychological badage and just say it’s a brand new game start from scratch you’ve told me so many things that I only thought is this all your questions always an effort to replace me in the future because the know you have about in the future and data is enormous uh I wasn’t aware of the fact that we played them so many times I was aware of the fact two years ago uh they were if I’m correct I say they because I was not part of it but we were two n up I think and uh I think I even used that game to my team at final at the mo at that moment saying Madrid always finds a way of winning that game because the moment when it was two n up there was no one that would have expected that that game would end up being 52 from Madrid but that is what makes them so special that they can turn games around like that but they can also take the ball tomorrow and just dominate you from the start and yeah probably one of the reasons is that they have a great manager for years already and they have great individuals as well and that makes them one of the best maybe their best club in the last five to 10 years in Europe Lo i h just check on team news is saw Tren in training today is he ready to start and then a few of the others Federico like to those sort of people yeah it’s funny that you talk about our injuries because most people only ask about the injuries R have uh but we also have a few recently um Trent is in the squad but he will not be available to start he can maybe make a few minutes uh in an ideal world he maybe doesn’t uh but if it’s really necessary he can he can make a few minutes uh tomorrow but he’s not going to start and then fedo is not in the squad yet he’s training with us then in in not not the whole session but mostly one or two parts of the session ja is in the team but hasn’t played for a long time uh competitive football so he’s there but of course not ready to start Allison is not there yet Joo is not there yet do I forget anyone Costas Costas is not there yeah he’s um he’s having an injury as well so it’s quite a list for us as well yes definitely uh we approach it differently because uh a new player is going to play for him with different qualities so we knew when when fenici would have started I had to prepare them for him and mbappe and all the others but they are probably the main attacking threat for them now with him not playing we have to expect something else and I think he played almost every game for Madrid so it’s again quite difficult for us now to understand what we can expect but what we do know what we can expect is 11 players with great quality and we Tred to prepare them in the best possible way but yeah Will Bellingham play as a 10 will will he play from the left will he play from the right will andri come in will ker start so they have so many options which now is a bit more difficult for us to see what they’re going to do if fishes would have been fit I think I could have come up with their lineup now it’s going to be a bit of a surprise for us maybe but um the thing we do know is that we play 11 great players and a very good team just got time for a couple more the jum the blue top AR those are a lot of questions about the team we face and my opinion about them the only thing I can tell you is I’m I’m not bothered about what is his best position the only thing I’m bothered about is his quality and we have to face that quality and we have to play him in the best possible way but he’s shown so many times that he’s so difficult to defend uh for his country for man also for Real Madrid he’s one of the best players the football has at the moment so um yeah uh if phishes would have played that would be the second one uh one of the best players the football has at the moment so now it’s mbappe who’s still there and um yeah I’m not the manager of Madrid so it’s not up to me what is his best position or not I think every position he plays in every position he plays he’s one of the best players in the world so we have to be ready for him yeah AR for um you’re in the shape of your life speaking perfect English with everyone you’re winning the fans are singing uh it’s beginning to look a slot like Christmas what do you experience from this did you know that no I didn’t didn’t know good to know um but how much do you experience that yourself and how big are the nures for tomorrow um like I just said I didn’t noce and I don’t follow uh how popular I am if I am or not the only thing I bother about is the next opponent and that’s Madrid and how to prepare the team in the best possible way like I’ve said many times so that’s my main focus now my family is coming over so if I hurry up a bit I have to do some groceries for them as well uh and then uh and then go home uh and and and that is where my my main focus is and not about the songs they sing for me uh although it sounded quite nice um but it’s nice to be in this position it’s nice to work at this club and it’s nice this week it was nice last week and it will be nice next week as long as we keep on winning just one here then the final one car Anna I just wanted to ask you one more about Mo Salah um Jamie carer said that Salah was selfish for for speaking out and that he should have been fully focused on Liverpool Football Club just wonder what you made of that comment and I know you said that he’s not distracted and it’s not a distraction for Liverpool but I just wonder if you have any concern as well as to whether it might develop into a distraction if Salah continues to express his disappointment publicly I focus a bit more on what else he said he said that he was one of the five best players Liverpool ever had and I completely agree with him which is not an easy thing because we had so many great players at this club so uh I don’t think it’s um it distracts Mo at all um maybe brings even the best out of him if you look at his performances uh till now so um like I said already a few times my main focus is the next game and if we had that game another big game is coming up and if he had that game just keeps on going so uh I talk to Mo about what I expect from him and um and and and like I do with all the other players and uh he’s in a good place at the moment and I said before I’m not distracted At All by his commands and I don’t feel his teammates do so um it’s nice that we have a story in the media so you guys have some work now as well last one Carl yeah hurry up I have to do the groceries you um you spoke about the way Madrid always found a way to win do do Madrid carry a different aat of the teams do they they bring a psychological advantage into European games I think um I think they might do I I I I cannot talk for all the other teams they face but uh I said to my when I worked at my former Club many times that we should take the example of Madrid that they always find a way to win they can win it in different uh ways if it’s difficult for them they can still win a game and that’s what’s probably one of the reasons apart from them having so much quality that they uh won this tournament a lot um so yeah uh I think I can only speak for myself but maybe the players might feel the same if we are fortunate enough to be one a goal up or even more up we still have we still are aware of the fact especially because what we’ve experienced two years ago that the game will never be done till the referee blows his whistle in general it is like this but I think we all feel it against Real Madrid a bit more than to some other clubs we face thank you
