In an interview with Premier League Productions, Liverpool FC attacker Cody Gakpo spoke of the season thus far and adapting to the many changes in the squad:
“I think it’s always been difficult when new
players come in to adapt to the team. But I think now when we have a lot of new players, sometimes it’s difficult when you change the team. ”
“We lost also a lot of players who were here [for] a long time. We were together for a few good years now. So, some players left, Lucho [Luis Diaz] left, Darwin [Nunez] left, Jarell [Quansah] left and Harvey [Elliott] left as well. Then you have to replace them and new players come in and you need to make it fit. I think that’s going well.”
“We try to get to know each other every day better and better again. It’s also a little unfortunate with Alex [Isak], who didn’t really have a pre-season. It’s all these things together – but I think we will find a way forward.”
There’s a portion where he speaks pretty extensively about how it is to play for Liverpool and if it feels like home to him:
“It’s a privilege. It’s a great feeling obviously to go out and practise and do what you love and to get better every day.“
“It’s a very special place. It’s a very special club with amazing people working here and [we have] amazing supporters who support us every step of the way. I couldn’t wish for any better team.”
“As home as I can be! Very much at home. Sometimes when I am in Holland I want to go home [to Liverpool], so that means I feel very much at home here. It’s the whole environment. A great team, great club and great people, obviously my family as well, so that all together makes it home.“
You know what would make many Liverpudlians very happy? A bunch of goals against Manchester United. The Reds will host Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday. Up the Reds.
