On the reasons for joining Liverpool this summer… <\/p>\n
It’s just the best choice, it’s the champion of England. For me, they had great players, great history. It just fit with what I was looking for after Frankfurt. I think it was a good choice from me. That’s why I chose Liverpool \u2013 it’s just the best option and I wanted to come. <\/p>\n
On ‘giving space to opponents’ and facing Galatasaray…<\/p>\n
Every game is different. Premier League, Champions League games [are] different. I think tomorrow is going to be a tough game, playing here in Galatasaray, playing away from Liverpool is difficult. I can’t really say much about that [giving space]. It’s the start of the season, we still have to find connections and to adapt to each other. I think in time it will be better but I’m confident.<\/p>\n
On whether he expected this start to his Liverpool career and playing in the Champions League… <\/p>\n
To say I knew I would perform like that, no \u2013 but that’s what I expected. I work for that. Obviously I’m happy that it works and I just want to keep going and do even more for this team. When I first played [in the] Champions League with PSG [Paris Saint-Germain], I was young, I was on the bench, I was more watching. I would say now it’s my time being someone who can help the team to reach success [in the] Champions League and I’m very grateful for that. I will give 100 per cent of myself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the reasons for joining Liverpool this summer… It’s just the best choice, it’s the champion of England.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[20702,49,48,20703,2668,20699,20695,20704,20706,20705,739,20698,20697,20694,20701,1521,18010,561,82,20696,20700],"class_list":["post-178926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-alisson","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-firmino","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
