Akinva: Liverpool were born for the Champions League I was impressed by Jota

In an interview with Anfield Watch, Liverpool fan and League One team Wecombe Rangers striker Akin Finwa talked about Liverpool's current situation, including the prospects of the Reds and Jota's play. Akinfwa said he was impressed by Jota.

About Liverpool's current performance

Akinfwa: "When we didn't beat Arsenal at home, I was just as worried as all the Liverpool fans and you would think it was a big loss. But based on my experience in the dressing room, I think the players will say: 'Hey, we're the players and we should stand up' and I think they're going to do that. ”

About Nabi-Keita

Akinfwal: "I think he was so unlucky, I think when he first joined the team he had to adapt to the Premier League. Then I thought he did it, I thought he did a great job, and then he got hurt. But his abilities are there, and we've seen it. Against Manchester United earlier this season, you were able to see what he was capable of and I think our midfield trio was as good as the front trio. ”

Which players are the strongest combinations in Liverpool's midfield?

Akinfwa: "I think it depends on the game and sometimes we overlook the technical ability because there are other things on the pitch that can replace that. Considering that Robertson and Arnold will move forward, the midfield trio will need to take on some of the basic work, depending on our opponents, sometimes we need energetic players, and sometimes we need Thiago's organization. ”

About Jota

Akinfvar: "I think he's a quiet, confident person, and I've always felt like he's aware that he's going to make a splash. People are talking about his difficulty getting into the starting line-up, but he showed a strong motivation in his heart: 'I'm not just going to move to Liverpool, I'm going to be the main force of the team'. I was impressed with him, even though he was a not tall player, he could score with his header and his performance on the pitch was visible to everyone. ”

About the Champions League

Akinva: "I really think we can win the Champions League, I think Liverpool was built for the Champions League. I still want us to win the Premier League, but in the Champions League I don't think Liverpool have too many feared teams, although there are some teams that are strong. Every opponent in this round of matches will be quite tough, but I'm not too worried, I think we'll win. ”

The Carabao Cup final will be against Chelsea

Akinfwa: "I do think they will be in a better position when we play Chelsea again. But I hope they're still in turmoil, hopefully Romelu Lukaku isn't back in shape, I think we're doing well in the cup and I think we're going to win 2-1. ”

The World Cup will be held next November, what impact will this have on Liverpool?

Akinfwal: "I'm old-school, I think it's in the middle of the season and the players are going to focus on the World Cup, they don't want to get hurt, so I think it's going to have a knock-on effect. ”
