I just wish that."It's been a difficult campaign for Konate, whose form has fluctuated during an inconsistent term for Liverpool, who have lost 17 times across all competitions, including 10 in the Premier League.The defender also lost his father in January and while he admits it's been a tough few months both personally and professionally, Konate is upbeat about his and the club's long-term future.“It was a tough year because many things happened and I think if everyone knew exactly what happened to me, they could understand many things, which kind of sacrifices I've done for this club," he added."I think it is great and one day I will take the time to think about it. Right now I am focused on the end of the season and making sure we are qualified for the Champions League next season and after we take the time to talk about this season because it's going to be a big part of my story."It's sad in one part, but it's very nice for my story when I explain that to my future kids and those people who support this club as well."I think it is great and one day I would take the time to think about it.



Right now we focus on the end of the season and make sure we are qualified for the Champions League.“It’s Liverpool. For sure with this kind of a season, we have to give our all next season to make something good.“First of all, we have to be focused on the end of the season and after for a few players, the World Cup is going to be a big challenge as well."And after my holiday - because it was a long and hard season for everyone I think - we can talk about everything.

It's hard to talk about [the Champions League] and say it's difficult because we play against PSG which is the best team in Europe and I think everyone is agreeing if we won against PSG, maybe we had a big chance to win the Champions League last season."If they win it [this season], what we can say? It was difficult, but now we have a few games left and we have to make sure we secure our ticket for the Champions League next season.”FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
