"I think occasionally we have been playing good games but not consistently on a regular basis and it's been frustrating for all of us and for the fans as well. It is very hard but that's the hardest thing in life, doing it each and every three or four days. If you do that there's a big chance you become successful."
"We have been having good performances this season and we haven't been able to build on it the next time. This was a demanding game physically and mentally and it is down to us to do all the right things to be ready for an early kick-off at Brighton."
"There was a lot at stake, that was pretty obvious, so we had to show how much we wanted it. That's what you strive for, that's what we had last year, and that's what we try to reach, but you need multiple factors to go your way and now we don't get carried away."
Liverpool defeated Galatasaray 4-0 in the Champions League round of 16 second leg, advancing to face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinal. Captain Virgil van Dijk emphasized that while the performance showcased the team's potential intensity and mentality, maintaining such standards across multiple matches every three to four days proves extremely difficult. Van Dijk acknowledged frustration with inconsistent performances throughout the season and stressed the importance of replicating this level of play regularly. The victory came after a disappointing draw against Tottenham that drew criticism from fans. Van Dijk highlighted that success requires multiple factors aligning and consistent execution, not just isolated strong performances.
