On Alisson\u2019s future\u2026<\/p>\n
I\u2019m very happy with the situation we have right now in the goalkeeping area. We have Alisson, we have Giorgi [Mamardashvili]. We are going to send on loan, for example, Armin [Pecsi], \u2019keepers that probably are in another phase, but have the guarantee of those \u2019keepers that already because of different reasons also\u2026 the three of them here, Freddie [Woodman] played some games [in the] past season, I think it\u2019s a guarantee for us.<\/p>\n
Alisson is someone also in a changing room that has lost some references in terms of experience, I think he\u2019s someone that definitely will help us in this process of adaptation of the new signings, of the new players, the young players. We need the references like Virgil [van Dijk], like Alisson, like Joe Gomez, players that have been here for a long time. And I\u2019m sure we will have this help, yes. <\/p>\n
On the right-back position and \u2018if it\u2019s something you would want to address in the market\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n
I think it depends on Conor\u2019s situation. At the end if you have a fully fit, healthy Conor Bradley, we are very happy, ready to go and we would not be asking ourselves these questions. I think it\u2019s a situation that is tricky, because we trust Conor in the long term, we know we want him to be our right-back but right now he is still, I would say, a little bit far from returning. So, with the centre-back, with the right-back situation, in terms of defensive depth, we are, I think, very thin right now so I think it\u2019s a solution that we are trying to find, yes.<\/p>\n
On Szoboszlai\u2019s new contract and if he has the potential to be in a leadership role\u2026<\/p>\n
I think this is one of the probably greatest news since I arrived, his commitment to this club, his contract renewal. Also, he has come in a great shape. He has been leading by example in training, he\u2019s pushing a lot. I think young players should be looking at him, the way he is training and he competes.<\/p>\n
And definitely he has to be one of our leaders looking forward and I\u2019m looking forward to having him in my team, to try to use him in the best way, to try to help him feel comfortable and try to make him continue the same way he\u2019s having, because I think he had a very good season [in the] past season. And even, if we can, improve what he\u2019s already doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Alisson\u2019s future\u2026 I\u2019m very happy with the situation we have right now in the goalkeeping area.
