00:00Liverpool's 2025-26 campaign may not be unfolding.
00:05As smoothly as last season's title-winning March, but there's still plenty for the Reds to play.
00:10As the season enters its business end, after a Premier League defeat to Bournemouth.
00:15Saw them drop to sixth in the table, Arne Schlotz acknowledged the squad must refine.
00:20If they are to achieve something special this term.
00:25If they are the best team in the league, then you need those players available.
00:30This season shows that if we have to play many games, sometimes you can get injured.
00:35And that's what I meant, we did not face injuries after we went out again.
00:40against Parisien-Germain and some people wanted to make my world even more ridiculous.
00:45Saying that we were 15 points clear, yes, we've been maybe in one moment.
00:5015 points clear, but most of the time we were 8 points clear.
00:53And if you then face...
00:55A situation of 3, 4, 5 injuries, it might have been more difficult.
01:00For us, but we were the best team in the league.
01:02And we could have won the Champions League as well.
01:05And we would have loved to go to the next round last season.
01:08But this club...
01:10It hits us harder if we have injuries than the clubs we are in competition.
01:16Well, the immediate focus is on league form.
01:19Liverpool will be targeted...
01:20I'm getting a higher finish than sixth.
01:22I do need to break into the top four and secure a strong...
01:25platform for next season's European push.
01:28With fixtures still to come against the mix.
01:30Of mid-table and ambitious sides consisting in the Premier League.
01:33Remains a priority to...
01:35avoid slipping further down the table.
01:38In Europe, the objective...
01:40objectives are clear.
01:41Finish top 8 in the Champions League group to avoid an additional playoff round.
01:45And go straight into the knockouts.
01:47That goal is becoming very doable as the Reds have...
01:50enjoyed strong performances on the European stage.
01:53It's what you want if you...
01:55start the Champions League season.
01:57You want to finish top 8.
01:59Because that...
02:00that helps.
02:01Of course, because you skip around and sometimes you can have a really hard...
02:05team to play against in a round like that.
02:07Which is shown by the...
02:08by the teams you just mentioned.
02:10So we're happy that we are going straight away to the last 16.
02:15especially because it's only two years ago that we were playing...
02:18Europa League.
02:19And we...
02:20we went out in the quarter-finals against Atalanta.
02:22So...
02:23two seasons in a row now.
02:24Being at the last...
02:2516.
02:26And this season as we were last season we were very hungry for more.
02:30We will definitely be hungry for more this season as well.
02:33Off the pitch, Schlott is pressing...
02:35testing for improvement at both ends of the field.
02:38Addressing defensive frailties while...
02:40maintaining the creative spark that keeps Liverpool competitive on all fronts.
02:45with FA Cup ties and European nights still to come.
02:48The Reds' remainder of this season...
02:50will be defined by balance.
02:52Securing European progression.
02:53Solidifying a strongly...
02:55big finish and keeping their fans dreaming...
02:57of more silverware.
03:00...
03:03The Reds' remainder of this season...
03:05We will be very happy with...
03:06the Reds' remainder of this season...
03:07...
