MANE & KEITALIVERPOOL HAVE BEEN FLYING IN THE LEAGUE THIS
SEASON – WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING ON THE INSIDE?
SADIO: You need time to understand it. It’s quite exceptional
to play for Liverpool, historically it’s impressive and we haven’t
won this Premier League trophy which we really want to,
which is close to the heart of the fans.
They’re mad about this trophy and I think we’ve got every
chance of lifting the trophy, but in the Premier League you
never know. And if we finish the season by lifting the trophy,
it will be exceptional for the club and for the fans and for the
players.
IT’S BEEN SAID BY SOME THAT THIS IS THE PROBABLY THE
BEST TEAM EVER SEEN IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE...
SADIO: When you say ‘of all time’, that’s something given the
teams that included players like Thierry Henry and Ryan Giggs.
NABY: I was only small then.
SADIO: Perhaps you weren’t even born then! Yes, it’s very
impressive but the objective has always been to win the
Premier League. Hearing things like that is a little bonus, but
the most important thing once football resumes is making
sure that we win the league.
DID YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE AFTER MAKING SUCH A GOOD
START?
NABY: I think that we as players and the coach have done a little
bit but only because of what we demand of ourselves. But all
the team knows that it isn’t over yet, so it’s about keeping the
concentration, the motivation and keeping a level head right to
the end.
SADIO: You don’t feel pressure, Naby!
NABY: But I can’t have any pressure now! I’m 25 not 18...
SADIO: I’ll tell you one thing, when you play for Liverpool you
always have the pressure to win matches which are coming along.
So he’s got pressure – he’s got pressure for sure!NABY, HOW DO YOU FEEL THE SEASON HAS GONE FOR YOU?
NABY: I feel very good apart from the little injuries I have, which
I’m trying to control. I’m a professional, and in football as I
understand it, there are difficult moments. But you mustn’t drop
your shoulders, you need to carry on working and that’s how you
win.
SADIO: I don’t think it’s been easy since he arrived what with
the time needed to settle in as well as with the injuries, but he’s
working hard every day in training to get to where he needs to be.THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING ONCE FOOTBALL
RESUMES IS MAKING
SURE THAT WE WIN THE
PREMIER LEAGUE
