In Liverpool goalkeeper Keleher's interview with the team's official website, he shared his thoughts on the team's performance this season, the level of the Premier League, the team's goals, the changes over the summer, and new manager Sloter.
Commenting on his team's impressive record at the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, Kelleher said, "It's obviously a crazy time. Both City and Arsenal have shown themselves to be strong title contenders over the past few seasons, and we're trying to match them. But when you look at the fixture list, every game is a challenge and that's the high level of the Premier League. You can't afford to relax or give up in this league or you won't get the results you want."
Speaking about the overall level of the Premier League, Kelleher spoke highly of it, "I think the quality of the league as a whole is outstanding, it's definitely one of the best leagues in the world."
On Liverpool's goals for the season, Kelleher said the team needs to remain ambitious: "We are definitely strong enough to challenge for the title, but that's easier said than done. If we want to compete for the title, we have to maintain a similar level of competition with Manchester City and Arsenal, and continue to perform well. Most importantly, we also have to keep getting good results."
Reflecting on the huge changes in the team this summer, Kelleher sees this as a new beginning for the team: "Klopp and many staff and coaches have left, but the team's performance hasn't been affected too much. We had a chance to compete for the title last year, and now we've got more motivation and are looking forward to going further. I think it will make it easier for the new coach to lead the team to a good performance when he comes in, because he is taking over a team with high goals and a high level of performance."
Speaking about the arrival of new head coach Slaughter, Kelleher said, "We need to be open to this change, it's a new beginning for everyone. Coach Slaughter has really made an effort to talk to all the players since he got here and wants to get to know all of us. As time goes on, I think our relationship with Coach will get better and better. He's really trying to get to know all the players and that's what we're looking for. We're all off to a good start and looking forward to building a good relationship with Coach and working together for the future of the team."
