——Liverpool faces a two-front battle, and the game against Nottingham Forest will be the beginning of a dense schedule of 7 games in 21 days

"I think this will be a difficult period, there are many games, and they are not easy. The games before the international break are obviously also very difficult. It's going to be tough. "

"We need to stick together and really support each other because it's going to be a busy period with a lot of schedule, but I'm confident that we can make a difference, but the situation is positive for us. "

"Football is about momentum. We started the season winning every game. Then we started losing some games, but I think we can get back on the winning track, and that's all about the momentum shift. We can improve and get better - Forest are currently only 19th in the Premier League table (after 11 games) but are unbeaten in their last three games since Sean Dyche took over

"They have changed coaches and are now defensive. They have a particularly good defensive line, so I think all games - every game in the Premier League - are going to be tough and we need to work hard and prepare ourselves for the weekend. France's first goal for the senior team and helped the French team successfully qualify for the 2026 World Cup

"(I feel) proud, which is obviously a good feeling and I would say, this was my dream as a child! This trip to the national team was great and now I am happy to be back. "

"I received a lot of messages [after my goal]! To be honest, I couldn't check them all, but I want to thank everyone for the love! "

- The goal now is to build on the great start to his Liverpool career

"I feel I feel like I'm getting better. Even though I haven't scored a lot in the past month, I've improved some other aspects of my game. The key is to keep improving - I think I'm improving and I believe things will work out.
