On ‘taking his game to another level’ this season…
It’s the coach that gives me the confidence. This season we have more freedom in the midfield. Last season I was only on the six, like deep, deep. Now I can go more forward, which you saw today. My strength is also there. I’m happy with that and also happy with the goal.
On Arne Slot’s biggest strengths as a coach…
He’s very clear. What comes to his mind, he tells you. And also the tactical part is really good.
On whether Liverpool have ‘lots of gears to go to’ as the season goes on…
Yeah, of course. We know we have a good group. We bought players as well, really good players, so we know it’s not only the starting XI, it’s the whole team. We are like a family, so we push each other. You see now for example, Hugo scored today and then [Alexander] Isak comes in and gives his all. I’m really happy with the squad.
On if he wants to add more goals and assists to his game…
Yeah, that’s what I said – last season, I think I didn’t even score. So, of course this season I want more goals and assists. I’m really happy with today.
On enjoying the rest of the weekend after winning the derby…
Now we are top of the league and it’s always nice to win a Merseyside derby. I’m really happy, going to recover and we keep going on Tuesday.
