In an official interview with Liverpool, midfielder Elliott looks back fondly on his five years with the Reds and looks forward to the upcoming season with anticipation. He not only expressed his deep feelings for the team, but also revealed his determination to take on more responsibility for the new season, actively adapt to the new manager's coaching style and pre-season changes.
Talking about his fifth year at Liverpool, Elliott was emotional: "Time has flown by and these five years have been invaluable to me. I love every minute of my time here, and everything here makes me feel very fulfilled. I hope to play more games in the new season, get more starts, and solidify my place in the team. I am well aware that I have reached the age where I need to take on more responsibility, and now is the time to achieve these goals."
While looking back, Elliott also showed his care and help for his younger teammates. He said, "In the past five years, I received a lot of care and guidance from my seniors, who took care of me like an older brother, allowing me to quickly integrate into the team. Now, I also hope to pass on this care to younger players. If they need help or have any questions, I will be there to help them in any way I can."
Elliott expressed his full confidence and expectations for the new manager. He believes, "It's a fresh start, we need to forget what we have learned in the last few years and learn new things with an open mind. Soccer is a constant journey of learning and adapting, and I'm confident that we will become better players and better people under the new manager. We will continue to listen to the coaching staff and apply them to our games and training and believe we can achieve good results."
Speaking about the changes in preseason, Elliott said, "This preseason is really quite different from the past, with new management, a new coaching staff and a new style of play. After a few weeks of training and one internal game, I feel the players have adapted well to the changes. The new style of play is very enjoyable and it's a great opportunity to learn new skills and improve ourselves. I feel very fortunate to be here to grow and improve with my teammates."
