NoticiasPor qué Cody Gakpo cree que el Liverpool no tiene límites esta temporada

Los Rojos han tenido un comienzo alentador con Arne Slot, ganando nueve de los 10 primeros partidos del entrenador en jefe en todas las competiciones.

El equipo de Slot es actualmente el líder de la Premier League y ha sumado seis puntos en sus dos primeros partidos de la Liga de Campeones, además de continuar defendiendo el trofeo de la Carabao Cup al derrotar al West Ham United por 5-1 en la tercera ronda.

El encuentro del domingo con el Chelsea en Anfield marca la reanudación de la campaña del club tras el parón internacional de octubre y, sobre los objetivos a largo plazo del Liverpool, Gakpo dijo a Sky Sports: «¡Ojalá podamos ganarlo todo!

«Es el comienzo de la temporada, participamos en todas las competiciones y cuando participas en una competición participas para ganar, así que ese es nuestro objetivo y creo que la temporada pasada demostramos que podíamos hacerlo.

«Estuvimos muy cerca de muchas cosas, pero sí, al final fallamos un poco. Pero eso también nos da esperanza y fuerza para esta temporada, porque sabemos que podemos llegar tan lejos, así que este año vamos a ir aún más lejos.

«Tenemos un buen grupo, mucha calidad y nos conocemos desde hace un poco más, así que sí, todas esas cosas ayudan».

The appointment of Slot in the summer following Jürgen Klopp’s reign of almost nine years marked a new era for Liverpool, of course.

Gakpo has since appeared in all 10 of the new head coach’s games in charge to date and laid on the assist for Diogo Jota in a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace last time out.

On whether he enjoys the challenges that come with change, he replied: “I like adapting to different things because that makes a person grow in every aspect of his life. So, yeah, I like that, to be fair.

“So then we have to grow, we are forced to grow, we are forced to learn new things and getting out of your own comfort zone. As I said, I think every person will grow at that point, so I think it’s good.

“Obviously we have a new manager in, so that’s a change. Some things changed inside the club as well, so that’s a change as well. The way we train, the way we play is a little bit different. So, we all have to adapt and I think it’s going to make us better as a team and as a club.”

The Netherlands international was also asked about You’ll Never Walk Alone and, approaching the two-year anniversary of his signing for the club, how the anthem continues to impact him.

“When everybody is singing it and you are making yourself ready for the game, you are on the pitch and everybody is singing the song… I don’t know why but it’s just an amazing song,” said Gakpo.

“With amazing fans, in an amazing stadium. It always gives you goosebumps.

“What it means to me is it feels like everybody is always having your back at the club. Inside the club but also the fans, no matter what.

“That makes all the players go that one extra mile or a little bit more percentage that we can give every game. So, they are really helping us.”
