Robertson: The club clearly needs fresh blood injection. Wilz is a top player.

June 12th Liverpool defender Robertson was interviewed by Sky Sports while attending his charitable golf event. He said he had started preliminary discussions with the club about the renewal, but the 31-year-old Scottish left-back admitted that his long-term future has not been determined. Currently, his contract is only last year.

Talking about my future

Robertson: Of course we have talked about it, and the club had a positive conversation with me, but I can't determine what the future will be. Now I just want to have a good vacation, enjoy family time, and return to the preseason at its best.

Talking about the competition brought by Kolkerz's possible joining

Robertson: The club has clarified the key position of fresh blood. Judging from the current transfer rumors, we are all focusing on young players with great potential.

Playing for a giant like Liverpool, you must be prepared to face the challenge. Competition is everywhere, and it is like this in every position. This is exactly what I have experienced all the time and the norm that everyone is facing. I can't be familiar with this.

I hope the clubs remain ambitious and they are indeed doing it. No matter what role we play in this blueprint, as long as we recognize our positioning, we will leave our all-out efforts; otherwise, there will naturally be someone who chooses to leave. That's the nature of football, especially in the world's top clubs, we always look forward.

Talking about the team's rumored signings

Robertson: Last summer, Scotland played against Germany, and he performed very well against us. I clearly remember that game was extremely difficult for us. He is really great and is the key person who causes us trouble. He is active in the rib area and is good at interspersed with running positions. Although I don't know much about him, that fight was enough to convince me that he would be a top player.

Of course, we also met Leverkusen in the Champions League (Liverpool won 4-0). We controlled the situation in that game and limited his performance. But when he was playing for the German team, he was a completely different level of existence.

Transfer rumors do exist, and these news are overwhelming. If it is finally done, we will usher in an exciting new player, with many talented players already gathered on the team. He is definitely a top player and can help the team improve their strength. If this deal is reached, it will indeed make people look forward to it.

Regarding the pressure facing defending champions

Robertson said: This is something we must deal with. Old players like me, Salah, Van Dijk and Allison who have experienced the last championship have adapted to this pressure. But for other teammates who won the championship for the first time, it will be a whole new experience.

I don't know what the outside world thinks, but we will undoubtedly become a bigger hot spot in the new season and bear greater expectations than last year. We started in a low-key manner last season, and when our opponents really valued us, the lead was hard to shake. This situation is perfect for us, but now the situation is different. We topped the Premier League last season, and fans naturally look forward to defending their title successfully next season, and they are like this every season. This means we will face greater pressure.

The key is how we deal with this situation. I think the team has such psychological qualities. But other clubs are also strengthening, and the competition in the Premier League has always been cruel. We believe in our lineup strength and spiritual attributes, and we will never rely on our credit card to make ends meet.
