00:00Yeah, I think this club is known for this, so I heard the fans singing for Trent a song

00:05about the Scouser, I don't know exactly what they sing, but it probably has to do with

00:09him coming from the academy as well, so we have already a few starters from our academy

00:14and to see these players that train with us on a daily basis, we know their quality and

00:20it's nice to see that they show on Premier League level that they can easily play at

00:24this level.

00:25The thing for them is, it's not about easily playing at this level, you have to compete

00:28with Mo, Virgil and all these kind of players, so it's not enough to be good enough to play

00:32at this level, you have to be good enough to play for Liverpool and that is probably

00:36even the next step they have to make, but they've shown today that these players are

00:41capable of playing at Premier League level, that's for sure.
