Robertson: we have to start closing the gap. Arnold’s assists will surpass me.

December 30-Liverpool defender Robertson said in an interview with the club’s official website after the 3-1 victory over Aston Villa that the team has made a fresh start from where it stopped.
Robertson said: “We made a good start in the league, we have started from where we left and got three points, which is very important.” Next we will go back to the home fans, I believe they are eager to return to Anfield, we need their support, this is a really tense period. ”
“usually when you come back from preseason, you can easily get into the Premier League, but this time it’s different. We play every three to four days and we need their support to create a special atmosphere against our next opponents Leicester City.”
“We don’t have much time to waste, we know the start is not what we wanted and we have to start closing the gap. We did it against Aston Villa and we have narrowed the gap a bit. We need a game to focus on ourselves, what we need is to continue to score three points and see what we can achieve in the end. ”
Speaking of raising his total number of assists in the Premier League to 54 against Aston Villa, Robertson added: “you’re playing against some incredible players from the Premier League, but obviously, now I’m on my own, and I’ve managed to stay ahead of Leiden Baines, he always has good numbers.”
“but there is another player who is very close to me (Arnold, 45 assists in the Premier League). Unfortunately, he still has many years to play and I am sure he will overtake me, but I am happy that I am there now and I am glad that I can contribute. Arnold is incredible, sometimes his pass is more important than the actual assists, the ball passed to me is incredible, I saw Salah in front, it was a perfect start. ”
On Baicetic, who scored against Aston Villa, Robertson said: “he is an excellent player with a very bright future, he has great potential and is an incredible player.” When he came on, he broke the balance on the pitch, which may be the reason for his blockbuster, not entirely because of his goal. That goal was very important for us and I am happy for him and the young Ben Doc. ”
“for obvious reasons, I admire the young Ben Doc very much and I was very happy for him when he came on. For such a young player, since he joined the team, his performance has been incredible, without fear, he tried to dribble through all of us, he kept us young, he kept us alive, we saw it. ”
“frankly, all the young lads have come forward and there are some very talented players around us. The important thing is that we try to help them. They are the future. I think they show that our future is very bright. ”
