Liverpool FC’s Argentine player, Alexis Mac Allister, gave some insight into what is happening at the team recently. One of the things he said was that every football team needs big players.

However, he said beforehand that though some big players were absent, the team was thriving.

‘We are missing players – like [Wataru] Endo, Mo [Salah], Robbo [Andy Robertson], Thiago [Alcantara], some important players – but the team is always there and the young players prove that they are ready, so that’s what we need,’ Mac Allister said to Liverpoolfc.com.

‘In football you need a big group, a group of big players – and everyone is showing that. That’s why we all think that we can achieve some big things. But as I say, we have to go step by step.’

Though the club seems to be struggling, Mac Allister believed they could lift trophies in the end.

‘I think everyone can see how good the people are in the group. Our relationship is very good and that helps a lot to achieve things.

‘Of course we are halfway and we haven’t won anything yet, so we have to go game by game, keep improving.

‘Hopefully at the end of the season we can celebrate some trophies – that’s the idea. But at the same time we know how far [away] it is, so we need to keep working.

‘We have very experienced players, we have very good leaders, we have a group of young players that want to improve every single day – and you can see the mentality.

‘We know that as a team we need to suffer sometimes and we need to defend sometimes, and from there we can do special things. That’s the idea and that’s what we try to do every single game.’

The player joined the team in 2023, but his presence is being felt already.
