Andy Robertson has been installed as Liverpool\u2019s new vice-captain.<\/p>\n
Robertson takes over as Virgil van Dijk\u2019s second in command following the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid this summer.<\/p>\n
The Scotland international, who already captains his country, assumes the role after winning eight major honours heading into in a ninth season at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot confirmed that Robertson was his designated choice to become the Reds\u2019 deputy ahead of this weekend\u2019s showdown with Arsenal.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s played here so many years, won the league twice,\u201d explained Slot.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a very good player, plays many games, knows what it takes, but also knows the culture of the club and the dressing room.<\/p>\n
\u201cApart from all the quality he\u2019s shown on the pitch, he also plays a big role in the culture we have here at this club which is the biggest gift I could get from Jurgen Klopp.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andy Robertson has been installed as Liverpool\u2019s new vice-captain.
