Harvey Elliott thinks that Jurgen Klopp’s team has a family atmosphere, which helps the transfer to Liverpool 2.0 go as smoothly as possible.
Summer enlistments After an unexpectedly larger-than-expected revamp of the engine room, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have fit in perfectly to their positions as first-choice midfielders.
After last season’s underwhelming performance, it was obvious that new blood was needed, but while Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s departures were predicted, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson’s weren’t.
The addition of four replacements—Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch being the other two—could have made for a challenging adjustment time, but the club has shown incredible resiliency thus far this season.
Elliott, who is aiming to establish a presence in midfield, thinks the team’s chemistry has been crucial.
He said ahead of Sunday’s visit of West Ham, where Liverpool will attempt to make it five straight Premier League victories, that “it is a team at the end of the day and the quicker we become a team, have those relationships with one another, and become a family, the better and more successful we will be.”
We simply need to continue working as a team, interacting with one another, learning from one another, and developing the relationships we desire because these things help and work on the field.
“The best outcome is one we can get the faster and earlier we can do it. Everyone takes ownership of their actions; if someone feels excluded, you go sit with them or invite them over.
No one is allowed to eat alone, and the same rule applies to the changing rooms and walks outside. Everything we do is done as a team, and it shows on the field.
We just need to keep putting in these performances and keeping coming away with wins, because this season feels different in terms of the passion and drive.
Amazingly, the 20-year-old played alongside Endo and Gravenberch and was Liverpool’s senior midfielder in terms of club appearances during the Europa League triumph over LASK.
Although he acknowledges that he is still a novice, he understands that playing with players like World Cup winner Mac Allister will only help his development.
Being so young, Elliott stated, “It’s a hard one to comprehend, but we all need to play our part.”
