We have to stick together, that's important."We had a lot of meetings, we spoke with each other and the most important thing is we stay together - it is the most important thing when it is a hard time."We are ready to show a reaction and that's what we're going to do.“This will turn. If you work hard and keep going the luck will go on your side."Hitting the post three times (Cody Gakpo did that against United), we created chances and did not let chances for the team we played against.

Sometimes it happens."Szoboszlai added: “From two games we won only one and lost another one so we have to take the three points for sure."But most important we have to show the character we have, what Liverpool can do and what we are able to do."We showed it last season becoming champions and now everyone is ready for us but that's a good thing, you have to take it as a positive and be ready for them.“For me this Champions League campaign is something special as the final is in Budapest."But it is a long journey so we have a lot things to do, to learn and change and just focus on ourselves.”Watch Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool on TNT SportsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
