Live broadcast, August 18 -in an interview with the club’s official website, Liverpool attacker Louis Dias talked about the current situation of himself and the team and other topics.
About the match against Chelsea
Dias: “I think it is absolutely crucial to start the new season in the right way, which is for sure. I think when you face Chelsea away, getting points is a solid start for the team. Personally, when you can score at the beginning of the season, it is indeed a confidence improvement, so I hope it can help me throughout the season.”
About frontend competition
Dias: “The position of this front line is highly competitive. We all try our best to contribute our strength to the team, which can keep you in a state of 100% every training. You know every minute of every training is important, and you also know that the head coach will think that those who show the best and play the best will be the starting players in the next match, I think this is really great.”
Obviously, Liverpool fans love you very much.
Dias: “I have always been the kind of player who likes playing football, which is why I am happy. When you hear that the fans like your style very much, you will feel very satisfied. I really try to make everyone happy, and obviously, I am also very happy on the court. This is what I always like to do. When I express myself on the court, this is what I will emphasize.”
Last season, you experienced a very difficult period due to injuries. To some extent, is that a promotion for you?
Dias: “I think it is always very, very important to be able to contribute to the team. Now I feel 100% of myself and I feel really good. I felt that I was full of motivation and at the same time I felt relaxed and calm, so it was great. I think when you do encounter adversity, as you mentioned, you will really cherish the good time more.”
“That period of time tells you that you can never really be sure of what is going to happen or what will happen next, so you must enjoy every day and make full use of it. You will really feel grateful when you are in a state of 100%. All this is about hard training and keeping hard in difficult times to ensure that I can get 100% back, start contributing again.”
How much do you expect to return to Anfield stadium?
Dias: “First of all, it’s great to be back, which is also the most important thing. This is the first game in Anfield in several months. As usual, we will go all out to win and win 3 points at home. We always try our best to win games, especially at home, in front of the fans. As for Bournemouth, I think there has never been an easy match in the Premier League. Facing them will be very difficult, just like facing any other opponent.”
“I think they may be the kind of team that will shrink the defense and try to bring threats in the counterattack, so we must pay attention to this. But the most important thing is that we focus on playing our own game. All this is to maintain real intensity from the 1st minute to the 90th minute to ensure that we can deal with any threat from them, and get 3 points.”
