Live broadcast, August 11 news recently, Liverpool defender Arnold accepted an exclusive interview with The Times, during which he talked about his way of playing football, the team’s new season and other topics.
Speaking of his way of playing football, Arnold said: “This is not a conversation between teams, but something the coach said to me, which makes me not afraid to make mistakes and play. This really touched me, which gave me the confidence to do what I wanted to do. During my study in college, I had a lot of friendly conversations with my teammates, but when you walk on the court, 50,000 people in the court want you to win or lose, which is another matter.”
“If that person is what you trust and can rely on, you will believe every word they say and fight for them. What they say is true, just as they say it is raining outside, I will believe what they say, and Klopp is like this. Both the coach and the players know me as a player. They know I am adventurer and what I need to do to be the best player and help the team win. If I lose three or four goals in each game, but create three or four goals for my teammates every game, then this is the reward brought by my playing method.”
“If you want me to spread to the world, with a passing accuracy rate of 98%-99% and no opportunities, then you can tell me that I can do the same. But I was given freedom in the team. I was given such a creative role in the team and told to show myself and help the team win. This is what I did. I got the trust of the coach and teammates. This is what we really need.”
“In the last five or six weeks of last season, we had a lot of discussions. I just wanted to find a way to play, but it was not my decision. Midfield is my favorite position. I think it is the best position for me to play. I often play in this position. I think I have the ability to do this, and my physical condition also allows me to do this, which is a thing that will make me feel excited. When the result of the game develops in your direction and you play a good performance, it is natural to look more confident and enjoy the game than before.”
“I think defense may also be a part of this, but I also like to challenge. This is a new challenge for me, a different position and a new role. I need to focus on something and learn a new task, this made me realize my great potential. In this regard, I need to set an example for myself. First, I must arrive at the training ground on time, go to the gym early, go out early, and have a good time in any training class to do what I need to do. Then show yourself on the court, not afraid to take the ball, want things to happen, want to win. This is what I see from myself.”
Speaking of last season and the outlook for the team’s new season, Arnold said: “The most disappointing thing last season was stability, so with such new teammates coming, if we can do this, we have no reason not to win the league championship. This is very exciting. This is a challenge. We have the desire to win, and we need to prove it again.”
