With Liverpool in the midst of their Asia tour, Andy Robertson has opened up about what the squad is focused on during pre-season.
As Robertson prepares for his ninth season with the club, he’s helping guide a squad blending seasoned veterans with fresh talent like Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.
“We’ve been working hard,” Robertson said to Liverpool FC.
“We’ve been back maybe two, two-and-a-half weeks now and it’s just about building up fitness.
“We look good in training, but we need to probably get the game sharpness up still.”
For Robertson, the focus is simple: win everything, even in training.
“You want to win, whether it’s training or whether it’s games.
“Helping them settled in – finding houses, even just getting them settled with their family, because we know how important that is – it’s so important.”
Robertson explained that these pre-season trips offer valuable time for bonding, especially for international players adapting to a new league and culture.
“Hugo has just come in so we’ll have our first dinner with him tonight.
“It’s just up to them to then understand the standards of playing with Liverpool, and I think they’re getting to grips with that already.”
