I think last season was my first full Premier League season, so I’m just getting used to every game and getting used to the fast and intensive coming of games, there is also about how I take care of my body and what I have done, etc. I am very happy to pass last season smoothly.” “We had a tough time last season, and we had a pleasant time. For me, this season is just about moving on and becoming a better person, becoming a better player and taking my game to a new level is my goal to make progress.” “This season, I am trying to make progress and hope to make myself a better player. Excellent leaders left our team and it was frustrating to see them leave. It’s time for others to stand up and make sure they become the leaders on the court. If they don’t stand up, others will stand up.” “So, we all have to play our part in every game, which is just to make sure that we are united as a team, not interfering with each other. We all need to be leaders. We all need to keep pushing the team forward and ensure that we push each other beyond the limits.” About sobosloy Elliott: “He is a great person and a very good player. There is no doubt about it. Against Bournemouth, I think he showed his ability in many different aspects. I think in the 90th minute, he was still charging forward, just like the first minute of the game.” “It’s great to have such a player in the team, especially he is still young, and we hope he can continue to do so for many years. As a person, a player, he will continue to grow, and we have the obligation to ensure that he settles down, adapts to the surrounding environment, and makes him feel at home. We can clearly see his ability, and we just hope he can do well.” About Endo Airlines Elliot: “It must be a crazy few days for him, a new place to live, a new environment. For these new players, we just need to make sure they adapt and make them feel at home, because we have all experienced such situations and we have all received the same treatment.” “So, if we don’t bring these to new players, it’s our fault. Now they are part of us and part of the team. We need them. We have an obligation to make sure they are happy. They are very happy to come here to train and show the true meaning of Liverpool, this is a big family, and we just want to make sure they get the best experience here.” About midfield competition Elliott: “There are world-class players in the team, so it is a healthy competition for everyone. I think no one here will feel depressed and annoyed because others are playing, and will not support the players and the team.” “At the end of the day, we are a team and we all want to win together. The competition is not alone. What we need is to make sure that we are united, get through the trough and enjoy the highlight moment together. I think this is the most important thing this season. It is the most important to keep everyone alert, maintain the healthy competition we need, and support everyone.” (Ma Dongyu)
