Centerback Jérémy Jacquet spoke to Liverpoolfc.com ahead of the Brentford match on Saturday, and the September Player of the Month is keen to prove Liverpool have the fight and ability to maintain levels depsite the quick turnaround with travel:
“It’s going to be a big game for us. The manager has already told us that it’s going to be a battle all over the field.
“However, we’ve been working hard in training, even though time has been a bit short. And we will be ready for tomorrow.
“I think that we’ve
already shown how we can bounce back over in Austria but now it’s important to get back to winning ways, this time in the Premier League.”
His own levels have been good, and he hopes to continue this pattern in the challenge of the Premier League:He h
“I hope I can remain in this decent run of form. Things have been going well up to now, even though it’s still only early in the season.
“I’ll be trying hard to keep performance levels high.
“There are quite a few differences [playing in the Premier League] really. But I find that the biggest difference of all is the intensity of the duels and individual battles.
“Not the general intensity throughout the whole match but rather I’d say there are more one-on-one battles to contend with during the 90 minutes.”
He has not just been shining for Liverpool, having also made an impression for France over the lengthy international break:
“It was a massive thing for me [to get compliments of manager Zinedine Zidane]. Especially as I also got to make the starting XI, playing at home in the Stade de France.
“I don’t think it gets much better really, for me as a Frenchman, than playing in front of your whole nation. It was a magical moment.”
