- He believes completely, because he knows what this team can do: the players, the mentality, shown many times if not every time. What was missing in Paris is needed from minute one tomorrow.
- A misunderstanding between him and the fans, he says, and nothing meant badly. If it read wrong he apologises, but the part he wants heard is the rest: he feels exactly what they feel, he is with them, and he hopes they are with the team tomorrow.
“So I'm ready to die on the pitch tomorrow.”
- Not the superstar era of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, he says: different players, a different system, a different style, and really hard to play against, arriving at Anfield confident and two goals up.
- The biggest of his career, he answers, ahead of the one he names from 2019: Hungary down against Iceland with 85 minutes gone and turning it to 2-1 to reach the Euros. Doing it with Liverpool against Paris in a Champions League quarter-final would top it.
- They talk every day, but Everton barely came up yet: after the first leg the job was Fulham, and since then the job is Paris. Game by game, he says, with a derby away for a Champions League spot waiting right behind it.
- Not just the eleven and the subs: Anfield itself, he says, as this season and last have shown many times. Playing for Liverpool in front of these fans means nobody needs extra motivation.
- No public tactics: it will be a different game, done in a different way, managing what PSG did in the first leg. Go all in, and if everything was truly given and it is still not enough, then chins stay up. But he surely believes the opportunity is there.
- Konate had said the league should have protected Liverpool. Szoboszlai agrees the two extra recovery days matter, and refuses the conclusion: he is not asking anyone for days off, professionals deal with it, and that is the job.
- With departures announced and the call for new leaders made, he points at his years as national-team captain: happy to take more responsibility, to be there for the experienced core, and to be the connection to the youngest players.
