Liverpool will face Real Madrid at home in the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals at dawn on Thursday. The first round of the match, Liverpool in the Bernabeu with a score of 1-3 hate, this time to return to the field, the Red Army hopes to be able to stage a stunning comeback. At the pre-match conference, Liverpool defender Robertson commented on the multi-dimensional nature of the match.
Preparations for the match against Real Madrid
We are not out of the tournament yet and there may not be much expected of us, but we are confident in our ability to turn things around. We have to get stronger, put pressure on our opponents and see how they respond.
Memories of turning back Barcelona
Without the support of the fans, the feat of turning back Barcelona would have been unimaginable. Their cheering gave us wings, as if we had extra energy. We need to create this atmosphere both before and during the match. We can't leave any regrets.
It would be great to make a comeback, and if we don't, we can leave with our heads held high. We know the weight of the Champions League and we want to go further.
Arnold's passionate celebration
I must admit that I couldn't remain indifferent when I saw Arnold celebrating his goal. The goal was vital and for me it was the mark of a world class player. I know Arnold is going through a tough time, but he should take the gossip as a compliment. As his close comrade, I need to help him and get his confidence back. He has a tough character.
Home field advantage
After Boxing Day, we had a poor run at home, dropping points and suffering defeats. A first win in the New Year is vital for us and we will walk onto the pitch tomorrow with confidence to go all the way.
It's vital to keep a level head, we have to play our style, make them feel the pressure and try to win. At Liverpool, the pressure is on to win every game. If we can do that, then we will know where we stand in the final stages of the game.
When the opportunity comes, we have to take it. We know we are facing one of the European giants and they have their own game strategy.
Preventing Simple Loss of Balls
We were very frustrated last week and we made no secret of that. All three goals conceded were too easy and we should have avoided that, the away goal was the only consolation. We made chances for ourselves and it all depends on how we capitalize on them. Some people think we're hopeless at turning the game around and we have to change that.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona
The games against Real Madrid and Barcelona were different. We had an incredible night at home against Barcelona and we couldn't have made the comeback without the support of our fans. Their cheering was deafening. Tomorrow, against the most experienced team in the Champions League, we will be without the live support of our fans. It will be a difficult task for us. Nevertheless, we believe we can win any game and let's see if we do enough against Real Madrid.
A chance to win the Champions League
For us, we have the opportunity to win the most important title in European football, and that is our goal. We are a team with deep roots in the Champions League and we have already won it. We want to keep winning and that's what motivates us. The fight for the top four in the league has its own importance.
