Live on January 17, Liverpool beat Brentford 3-0 in this round of the league to jump to second place in the table. After the game, Liverpool defender Robertson spoke about the game in an interview.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game and we knew we had to be patient and it was important to break the deadlock. We insist on kicking out the content of the training, kicking out of our plans. Luckily, we scored before the end of the first half. ”
"Any team that wants to beat Brentford has to be patient, they're a very strong team. We had some chances in the first half and we knew there was a chance to create a threat to the opponent with set pieces. The first goal kept us on hold and I think we played really well in the second half. We could have scored more goals, and if Jota played in the mid-post, Firmino also had a chance to score. ”
Speaking about his assist on Chamberlain's goal, Robertson said: "I had an exchange with Chamberlain and he said that if I had crossed earlier, he would have been on the far post. If he hadn't been there, he would have been slapped. ”
Speaking about the Premier League title race, Robertson continued: "Manchester City are a fantastic team, one of the best in the history of the Premier League. We're close to that, but we need a pitch win and the gap is too big to consider. We're facing the strongest opponents and we're going to score as many points as we can. ”
