Liverpool star, Georginio Wijnaldum believes his team’s chances of winning the Premier League and Champions League is high this season.
Liverpool are looking good in the league and are set to face an underwhelming Bayern Munich for a spot in the quarter finals of the UCL.
His words, “Probably the Premier League because there are more games, and there are no easy games. The truth is we can both win, but both are very difficult. We have to believe it.
“Jurgen Klopp preaches to look only at it game to game. It’s difficult because [the end of the season] is not far any more and everyone is talking about it.
“We also do not want to ignore that, it’s normal for the environment. But as a team, we do not always deal with it. Once I asked my team-mates who Manchester City is playing against. They didn’t know.”
I remember first meeting Klopp]! It was at his home in Formby near Liverpool,” he added. “I remember that he had a big dog and I was scared of it, so he took him to another room.
“Nevertheless, it was a great meeting. He first asked me personal things: how my holidays were, how I am as a person. It was not about football right away. He really wanted to get to know me. That inspired me.”
When asked which Bundesliga player he would love to see join Liverpool, he said, “Of course, as a Dutchman, I have to say Arjen Robben,” he answered. “What a legend! You want to play against the best and beat the best. Arjen is definitely one of the best, he deserves to be on the big stage. I love him as a player and admire him.
“But in this game I want to win against him. I hope I can say after the final whistle: ‘Sorry and good luck for the rest of the season!’
“Two world-class teams against each other – you need to just enjoy it and make no predictions.”
