Liverpool beat Brentford 2-0 in Premier League second round
The Reds midfielder McAllister shared his thoughts on the team's performance and future outlook in a post-match interview. He first spoke highly of his team's overall performance, saying that it was an exciting and combative game.
"From the first minute of the game, it was very evident that our entire team showed an all-out spirit." McAllister said, "We maintained good discipline and execution both in possession and without the ball, which allowed us to control the pace of the game and ultimately come out on top. We are very pleased with this performance."
However, McAllister is also cognizant of the fact that the team still has room for improvement. "We know that despite a good performance today, there are still many things we can do better." He continued, "Especially in the transition phase of the game, we need to be more patient and subtle, rather than just going for the direct attack. However, I believe we are working in that direction and everyone is actively adapting to Head Coach Slaughter's tactical philosophy."
Regarding the upcoming derby against Manchester United, McAllister expressed his team's determination and anticipation. "This game is very important for the club and for each of us, it's not just an ordinary league clash, it's a derby of honor and dignity." He emphasized, "We will go all out in preparation during the week, whether it is on a physical, technical, tactical or psychological level, we will be as prepared as we can be. Our goal is to do our best to win that game and bring the joy of victory to our fans."
