"The season is long. If we were seven points clear at this stage, nobody would be saying that we had won the league already. Last season, when we were leading the way, we just stayed calm and kept on going because anything can happen. We just need to focus on ourselves, win our games and then let's see what other teams are doing."
"I think the team spirit [has helped us]," he added. "We are a really close team. Everyone protects each other, we are there for each other. That's been the most important thing. When everything works, everyone is happy, and it's all positive, it's easy to stick together. The hardest thing is when you find yourself in a position where we were a few weeks ago. But even then, we stuck together and kept on going, believing it would turn for us."
Liverpool face a challenging title defence after a difficult start left them seven points behind Arsenal. Recent wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid ended a four-game league losing run and boosted confidence ahead of the Etihad clash with Manchester City. The squad stresses concentration on upcoming Premier League fixtures, internal focus on winning games, and reliance on strong team spirit. Players highlight unity, mutual protection, and belief as keys to overcoming poor form, recalling that calmness and persistence helped when leading last season and that fortunes can still change.
