Andy Robertson is determined to ensure Liverpool’s Champions League triumph in June was just the start of a long and prosperous spell for the club.
The Reds have another chance to secure silverware on Wednesday night in the UEFA Super Cup when they take on Europa League winners Chelsea in the annual fixture contested by the champions of Europe’s two major club competitions.
The showpiece in Istanbul provides Robertson and his teammates with another opportunity to satisfy their thirst to raise trophies aloft, having gathered a taste for it after they beat Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid.
Read on as the left-back sat down with Liverpoolfc.com at Melwood to preview the meeting with Frank Lampard’s side…
Andy, another competition Liverpool are in to win, just how much are you and the lads looking forward to the Super Cup?
Yeah, we’re looking forward to it. For this one, we’re there on merit and we won the Champions League to get there. It’s going to be a tough game against Chelsea, like another Premier League game as such, and they’ve done well winning the Europa League. It’ll be an interesting game but we look forward to it and, of course, it’s another chance to hopefully get our hands on some silverware.
I’m sure you’ve all been craving another chance to lift some silverware after Madrid. Well this game is a chance to do just that…
Of course, we want to win more trophies now. We don’t want to just stop at the Champions League, that’s all we’ve won as a group of players. We want more but we know how hard that’s going to be. This is our next opportunity to do so and it’d be great if we can take it. But it’s the start of what’s going to be a busy campaign for us. Our ambitions are to go to the very end this season and that means we’ll have more finals. That’s what we have to keep in our heads, but Wednesday is a huge game for us and hopefully we can win it.
