NotíciasPor que Cody Gakpo acredita que o Liverpool não tem limites nesta temporada

Os Reds tiveram um começo de vida encorajador sob o comando de Arne Slot, vencendo nove das 10 primeiras partidas do técnico no comando em todas as competições.

Atualmente, a equipe de Slot está no topo da Premier League e conquistou seis pontos nos dois primeiros jogos da Liga dos Campeões, além de continuar defendendo o troféu da Carabao Cup ao vencer o West Ham United por 5 a 1 na terceira rodada.

A reunião de domingo com o Chelsea em Anfield marca a retomada da campanha do clube após o intervalo internacional de outubro e, sobre as metas de longo prazo do Liverpool, Gakpo disse à Sky Sports: “Espero que possamos vencer tudo!

“É o início da temporada, estamos em todas as competições e quando você participa de uma competição, você participa para vencer, então esse é o nosso objetivo e acho que na temporada passada mostramos que podemos fazer isso.

“Estávamos muito perto de muitas coisas, mas sim, no final, perdemos um pouco. Mas isso também nos dá esperança e força para esta temporada, pois sabemos que podemos chegar tão longe, então, este ano, vamos levar isso ainda mais longe.

“Temos um bom grupo, de muita qualidade e nos conhecemos um pouco mais agora, então sim, todas essas coisas ajudam.”

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.”
