The English League Cup is in full swing, Liverpool in the quarter-finals by virtue of young Elliott's wonderful goal, away from home to 2-1 reversal of Southampton, head into the quarter-finals. After the match, Elliott talked about the experience of the game in an interview with Sky Sports.
Elliott revealed that the Liverpool team carried out a thorough intelligence analysis of Southampton before the match and were well prepared for their tenacious fightback. He lamented, "Although some of us have not had many chances to play this season, we have a lot of young talent in the team. We came together and ended up winning, thank goodness!"
Talking about Southampton's performance, Elliott couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Southampton is a team full of confidence, they dare to attack from the back, this kind of adventurous spirit is admirable. They have caused us a lot of trouble in the Premier League. Today, they posed a huge threat to us and deserve credit for that."
Despite the fact that Liverpool had conceded a goal in the match, Elliott felt that his team's performance on the defensive end was outstanding. He emphasized, "We had to make sure that the team defense was solid and tried our best to make the drop. In the end, it was a concerted team effort and great defense that allowed us to successfully withstand Southampton's onslaught and win the game 2-1."
