A recent interview with Milner in liverpool's magazine is an excerpt from some questions and answers.
If anyone knows the secret to winning the Premier League title, he must be Liverpool No. 7 Milner, in this interview, Milner also revealed that teammate Salah is so special every day in the team...
How do you rate Liverpool's performance in the first half of the season?
We are indestructible, we are still fighting for the championship in all competitions, every year at this stage is important, we still made it to the final of the League Cup. We lost some points in the league, which made us uncomfortable, but there is still a long way to go and the most important thing is that we focus on ourselves and continue to improve.
Can you still catch up with Manchester City in the Premier League?
We know how strong City are. Over the years, they've proven themselves to be hard to beat and the only thing we can do is focus on ourselves. There is a point gap with Manchester City, but we still have a chance.
Sometimes the strength of the opponents seems to be bluffing, but we know very well how strong they are. They are the top teams and we have to win more games to make them feel pressured in the standings. The season is still very long, and the situation may change quickly. Both teams are good at fighting for a long time and we all know that the Premier League is long and tough and there are always surprises.
Some experts and fans say the club should sign more players to compete for the title.
We've won a lot of championships, but we haven't signed important players. There's always a lot of noise in the news coverage of the football world, especially around big clubs like Liverpool. In big clubs, it is very necessary to learn to deal with this noise. Whenever we walk into the training ground, we should isolate our minds and train hard until we show good performances and hope to win more trophies for the club.
Does winning the Premier League in 2020 give you extra hope?
We know we have the ability to pinch the whole team together, but you can't predict what we're going to do in the future, it's a process. It's a game-by-game process, and that's the case with a club like ours where we need to accumulate points to put more pressure on other teams.
One year we scored 97 points, but it wasn't enough to beat them, which made us know what a special team Manchester City is, but we also proved that we can win the title.
You've won the Premier League with both clubs, what does it take to be champions?
You have to be good for a long time and you have to deal with situations like injuries, player suspensions, player departures, tough schedules, different styles of opponents, all kinds of weather conditions, and you have to be as good as ever.
It's tough. It's very hard to do, which is why I think winning the league title is so special. Especially, when you're facing teams as good as we are, Champions League champions Chelsea and last year's league winner Manchester City, beating those kinds of teams is very important to win the title.
Keita, Mane and Salah are all back from the Africa Cup of Nations, is Salah the strongest of your career teammates?
This is a very tricky problem. Salah is definitely one of the strongest players I've ever played with, but I've always had a hard time choosing one of them because there are a lot of different styles of players who are equally great.
It's hard to compare Van Dijk, Silva, Aguero and Salah or Alain Shearer. He's an incredible goalscorer, but a player with a completely different style, you're hard to choose.
Salah is definitely the best player and I think he's one of the strongest in the world. His performance over the last few months has been so unbeatable, he's got so many goals and assists. He's also great on the training ground, he sets a good example, while in the gym he trains extremely hard, he always pays attention to every detail and tries to improve. He is not afraid to open his mouth to seek advice from others, and I think it is very beneficial not to be ashamed to ask. He would ask the other players for their opinions, what they thought, he didn't mean he would accept them all, and he would reserve the opinions of others before he decided on the right choice.
