Liverpool has been linked with a number of left-backs this summer, sparking speculation about Andy Robertson’s future at the club.
Despite the rumors, Robertson is confident he can continue playing a key role for the Reds, even if they sign another defender in the coming transfer window.
Robertson Reflects on His Role at Liverpool
Andy Robertson, now 31, has been a vital part of Liverpool’s defense for seven years since joining from Hull.
While he acknowledges that his performances haven’t always been at the world-class level he’s known for this season, he still believes the campaign has been largely positive.
The number of crucial matches he’s started this year speaks to his continued importance to the team.
Despite not always being at his best, Robertson’s place at Liverpool remains secure, and he’s not concerned about the growing list of left-back options being linked with the club.
“I think we’ve been linked with pretty much every left-back in the world,” he said.
“That comes with the territory when you play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.”
Confidence Amidst the Rumors
While the speculation about new signings has intensified, Robertson remains confident in his ability.
He knows it’s part of the job to face such rumors, and he’s proud of the work he’s done at Liverpool.
Reflecting on his time at the club, he said, “I look back on these eight years I’ve had as the starting left-back at that club, and I feel a lot of pride.”
Robertson has had a few rough patches this season, but he stands by his consistent overall performances.
“There have been a couple of moments when I haven’t covered myself in glory, but some things have been taken way out of proportion,” he explained.
When you make a couple of mistakes, people talk. But I’ve always been confident in my ability.
I’ve shown that throughout my career, especially during my time at Liverpool.”
Personal and Team Setbacks
Despite his personal confidence, the team has faced some setbacks.
Liverpool’s hopes for more silverware this season were dashed with a disappointing week that saw them eliminated from the Champions League and defeated in the Carabao Cup final.
But Robertson has found solace in joining up with the Scotland squad for their Nations League play-off against Greece.
“It’s always great to meet up with the Scotland lads,” Robertson shared.
“It’s an honor, and it’s good to take a break from a really intense time at Liverpool. It’s made it easier to get over the disappointment.”
With his eyes still firmly set on contributing to Liverpool’s success, Robertson remains confident in his future with the club, regardless of the ongoing transfer rumors.
