In the 22nd round of the English Premier League, Liverpool beat Brentford 2-0 on the road last night. After the match, Elliot, the soul of the team, talked about his personal insights on the match and the team in the official interview of the club.
Speaking about the crucial moment when he scored two goals at the end of the game, Elliott said, "This win is the best interpretation of our team spirit. We have deep feelings for each other, we are not just a team, we are a close-knit family. No matter who scored the goal, no matter who was on the pitch, no matter who didn't play, we are always united. We are eager to contribute to the club. This season, we have big ambitions and everyone has to give their best. As a team, there are no words to describe the joy of scoring a goal, and the joy of celebrating with teammates, friends and loved ones cannot be adequately described in words."
On the toughness of the game and the final result, Elliott confessed, "It was a challenging game and we all knew it. However, the game lasted the full 90 minutes, if not longer, and we had to persevere until the very end. That's the spirit of our team, we kept fighting, trying to create and take chances. As long as we keep the spirit and desire, the chances will come. Fortunately, we ended up taking it."
Recalling the moment he celebrated his first goal with Nunez, Elliott exclaimed, "I was very honored to be a part of it. I foresaw that his shirtless celebration might attract a yellow card, so I didn't want him to get a red card for any other behavior because we needed him! It was purely a raw emotional release, especially in front of the away fans. There's nothing like scoring goals and winning games."
Elliott was also proud to contribute an assist on Nunez's second goal: "It was a team victory. Whether you start or come off the bench, we have to be ready. You never know when you will be called upon to play. We have big goals this season and we need to be at our best as a team. It's not just the 11 players on the pitch, everyone has to be involved. Today, Nunez came on as a substitute and scored twice, and that's exactly the kind of team spirit we have. I think it shows everyone that you have to be ready whenever you need to be, because chances can come at any time and you just have to take them like you did today."
On the impact of the game on the season as a whole, Elliott said, "Of course, winning this game is crucial for us. But we're not looking too far into the future at the moment. We're just focused on taking one game at a time and making sure we win. Right now, it's more of a confidence boost to get us to the next game. We'll look back at the whole season at the end of the season, but right now, our job is far from done. We just have to keep moving forward and keep working hard."
