For me, they had great players, great history. It just fit with what I was looking for after Frankfurt. I think it was a good choice from me. That&#8217;s why I chose Liverpool \u2013 it&#8217;s just the best option and I wanted to come. <\/p>\n<p><strong>On &#8216;giving space to opponents&#8217; and facing Galatasaray&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every game is different. Premier League, Champions League games [are] different. I think tomorrow is going to be a tough game, playing here in Galatasaray, playing away from Liverpool is difficult. I can&#8217;t really say much about that [giving space]. It&#8217;s the start of the season, we still have to find connections and to adapt to each other. I think in time it will be better but I&#8217;m confident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On whether he expected this start to his Liverpool career and playing in the Champions League..<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>To say I knew I would perform like that, no \u2013 but that&#8217;s what I expected. I work for that. Obviously I&#8217;m happy that it works and I just want to keep going and do even more for this team. When I first played [in the] Champions League with PSG [Paris Saint-Germain], I was young, I was on the bench, I was more watching. I would say now it&#8217;s my time being someone who can help the team to reach success [in the] Champions League and I&#8217;m very grateful for that. I will give 100 per cent of myself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the reasons for joining Liverpool this summer&#8230; It&#8217;s just the best choice, it&#8217;s the champion of England.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":265937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[2367,25581,12730,25577,25573,25582,25584,25583,1836,25576,25575,25572,25580,10596,25578,221,62,25574,67,132,68,25579],"class_list":{"0":"post-265936","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-homepage","11":"tag-klopp","12":"tag-lfc","13":"tag-lfc-news","14":"tag-lfctv","15":"tag-lfctv-go","16":"tag-liverpool-fc","17":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","19":"tag-liverpool-football-club","20":"tag-mane","21":"tag-reds","22":"tag-salah","23":"tag-soccer","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-the-reds","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115292084640054382","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
