Robertson: I'll help Luis Díaz adapt to the team as if Elliott never got hurt

Liverpool defender Robertson spoke in an interview this week about new signing Luis Díaz and injury returning youngster Elliott.

Speaking about Luis Díaz, Robertson says he's trying to help the Colombian international: "He doesn't speak much Scottish (English), that's for sure! In the dressing room he sat next to me, but he spoke very, very little English. His Spanish-speaking teammates helped him settle in. I could help too, I just smiled and smiled at him and tried to make him feel relaxed. I feel like I need to learn Spanish reed 'dude, buddy' or 'time' (Spanish), and maybe now that's enough. ”

"I was very impressed with Luis Díaz. Obviously, we're going to have more training and games with him and hopefully he'll adapt soon. ”

Speaking about Elliott, who returned from injury this week, Robertson praised the young midfielder: "After the surgery, everyone told Elliott to calm down. He wanted to go to the next game, which was supposed to be the day after his surgery, and we said to him 'Harvey, this takes time'. But since then, he has been very the pursuit of getting back on the pitch, he is so focused and has a strong determination to return as soon as possible. ”

"Elliott is in good shape and when he comes back to the training ground it's like he's never left. And his sharpness hasn't changed at all, and having him there is something important to us. ”

Finally, Robertson spoke about this round of league matches against Burnley: "It was never an easy game against Burnley, especially on the road. It's always difficult to get to their home stadium, especially when they're at the end of the table. I know what's going on there, I know that at this point in the season, it's crucial to try to get any points and they'll try to get themselves out of the way. ”

'Burnley's players are a really good team, very honest, very hard-working, there are players who are willing to run, they are always fighting for a second drop point on the pitch, they have air superiority in the box and on set-pieces, which will cause us some trouble.

"We know what we're going to face and that's where we need to work for it." We need to make sure we can win the second drop point, we're on the side of the pitch where we can win blocks, create chances, create corners and so on. ”
