00:00Just to go back to the Trent conversation,
00:02what do you think he said to him in mind that, well, I think Trent is a good player?
00:08Do you really think...?
00:10Generally, what's your thoughts for him?
00:15No, I can completely understand the question that you ask it,
00:18but I think you already know the answer.
00:21These conversations I have never shared, not about Trent, not about any other,
00:26I just said the same about Virgil, of course there are things Virgil can improve,
00:31I talked to him about this as well.
00:33It was a conversation, as many others we had, me and Trent,
00:39and, yeah, let's leave it to that.
00:43For some players it might be destabilising for that interest...
00:50If it would destabilise players at Liverpool,
00:54if other people talk about them, then we would really have a problem,
00:59because if you play at one of the biggest clubs in the world,
01:02everybody always for 12 months is talking about you.
01:07Sometimes in relation to other clubs, that happens so, so, so many times for our players,
01:13that if that destabilises them, then we really would have had a problem,
01:18not only now but in the past six months,
01:21because I think there were some talks about our players also in the last six months,
01:27and I don't think that they destabilised them at all.
01:30Last call before the break, Lindsey and then Melton.
01:33Can you say on Trent that he won't let go of Germany regardless of what happens in his contract?
01:38I can tell you that he's playing on Sunday.
01:41That he is. And hopefully he brings the same performances as he brought in for the last half year.
01:48Because I think everybody saw how great of a first half of the season he had,
01:52how much he is here, how much he wants to win here.
01:56He played an incredible game against West Ham,
02:00I think we all remember that pass he gave, I think it was the second we played to that side,
02:05that was the first half, yeah, the pass he gave to Mo.
02:10So I see him on the training ground every day working his ass off,
02:15so he's fully committed to us, and he will play on Sunday.
02:21If they don't tell me he's sick, but I don't expect them to.
