But that's where our main focus has been on after the Villa game – to be in the best possible place possible for Sunday."If he is 'looking forward' to the end of the season: "I think usually in the end of a season you are looking forward to it to end, because it's usually been a long season – especially if you work in England, there are a lot of games."But maybe last season I wouldn't have minded if it would have kept on going because it was quite nice after we won the league – we had a few games to play. Now it's going on a holiday and then prepare for the next season.'"As I said, I'm looking forward to Sunday because that's a vital game for us but I'm also looking forward to next season to continue to evolve this team that, as I've said many times, is in a transition and that will not stop during the summer."If transfer plans will be impacted if Liverpool misses out on Champions League soccer: "Yeah, it does, that has impact.



I think Mo was really happy with the style we played last season, and our fans as well, because it led to us winning the league."And I've just said that football has changed, football has evolved, but we both, again, want what's best for Liverpool and that's for us to compete for trophies, which we haven't done this season and which we've done last season. So, this is something we are now even more aware of than last season, but that's also, as I said, because the league evolved in a certain way and these are also things we take into account if we are trying to evolve the team towards next season."On how he evaluates the performances of his Hungarian players: "Armin [Pecsi] has not played for us, as you know, but he's developed really good at the training ground.

But I think he's 21, maybe 22 now, but I think when we signed him for sure [he was] 21."For a young player like him, making the step from Bournemouth towards Liverpool, playing Champions League and Premier League football, we are really happy with his development, and he needs to make the next step next season."I think a great example for talking about development, in talking about becoming better after one, two, three seasons of playing Premier League football is Dominik Szoboszlai."He's an example for all of us, but definitely also for Milos. It's a close game every single time; not only with us, any single game."But we try to evolve the team in a way, as I said, that we can compete but definitely also play the brand of football, the style of football [that] the fans, I, and hopefully Mo if he's somewhere else at that moment of time, will like as well."
