00:00Yeah, it's mostly about attackers, isn't it?
00:04Although the last winner was, I think, a midfielder.
00:06But, yeah, it's a good thing that Mo is in the discussion,
00:09because it means he does well and it means we are doing well.
00:13But for him to stay in that discussion,
00:15he should bring in the same performances as he's done for seven or eight months now.
00:20And I think in general, someone that wins the Ballon d'Or
00:24needs to win something as well, so it's a great challenge that is in front of us,
00:28but also in front of him, and what I liked a lot is that he takes this challenge
00:32not only by scoring a big goal and a great assist against City,
00:37but he also wanted the team to win, because his defensive work rate,
00:40especially in the second half, was outstanding,
00:44and that is, I think, what it takes for us to have a chance of winning something.
00:49And if we as a team can win something,
00:52he will have a far better chance to win an individual prize like the Ballon d'Or.
00:58OK, guys, one minute, let's go, yeah!
01:09Go full intensity, forward and make the run, yeah, go, go, fast, fast, fast, yes, go!
01:17It's so difficult to compare players with each other, and it's not fair to anyone,
01:22I think Mo has his own career and Mo has been outstanding,
01:25Messi and Ronaldo both didn't play in the Premier League,
01:28but I don't want to bring them down, because these two players are incredible,
01:32but that makes the comparison maybe even more difficult.
01:35So Mo has had some outstanding seasons here at Liverpool,
01:42and we hope he can continue this for a longer period of time,
01:46but to do that he first has to extend his contract, of course.
01:50And you guys don't ask me about that anymore, so that's a positive.
01:59It's an understatement to say that he's in a fine form, I think he's in excellent form.
02:04Also, over there it's the team performance that will help us controlling him,
02:11so the more ball possession we have the easier it is to control him,
02:15although he's definitely a threat on the counter-attack as well.
02:18The good thing for us is that we've got two centre-backs
02:21that are probably one of the best players that are able to play against him.
02:29I don't say this in perfect English, but what I mean is that we've got two very, very good centre-backs,
02:34and that's definitely what you need if you want to face a striker with the quality of Alexander Isak.
02:43That they can score a lot of goals, and that's what I was just talking to you about,
02:48they have so much offensive threat.
02:51And I think normally they are not a team that concedes so many goals,
02:54because they are very aggressive in defending as well,
02:57as I saw out of interest, not for this game, but just out of interest in the semi-final against Arsenal.
03:03Now, we all know how well Arsenal is when it comes to attacking,
03:06also in defending, but in this situation in attacking,
03:10and they just kept them away from their goal with defending really strong,
03:14maybe a bit similar to what we did at City,
03:17so defending with 10 or 11 players.
03:20So, yeah, they can score goals, but they are also able to defend really strong,
03:26and that's what makes them such a difficult team to play against.
03:29Is he going to be all right?
03:32Yeah, I think he will. He will train with us today.
03:35Conor doesn't, he's out for a few weeks, so I cannot exactly tell how many,
03:41but it's clear that he went off with a muscle injury,
03:45and that's going to take a while before he's back.
