00:05Of course, we wanted to have a better season until now,
00:11but we had some goals this season, of course the team won the Premier League last season,
00:20and this was for sure the aim for this season as well.
00:25But I think we're still in the Champions League now,
00:28so there's still something to play for,
00:32also the qualification for the Champions League next season,
00:37so we still have some goals we want to achieve,
00:42so we wanted it to be better,
00:45but there's still something to play for.
00:51Do you think that this competition or what opportunity do you see in this competition
00:55to maybe rescue the season?
00:59Yeah, it's a very big competition,
01:03Champions League games are always special,
01:06so we try to enjoy it, to come as far as possible,
01:11and hopefully come through this round now.
01:15We know it's difficult because the best teams in the world are playing Champions League,
01:22so it's good to play against these teams and see where you are.
01:29After the disappointment against Manchester City,
01:31Virgil obviously said you shouldn't give up,
01:34and that's maybe at a certain point what happened.
01:37What impact have those words had on you guys as a group
01:41and what's been done to pull things back together?
01:47I don't know about this, that he said this,
01:53but I think I would not agree directly,
01:59because we still try to create chances to turn the game around.
02:08Of course, when the game gets longer and it's like in the 80th minute or something
02:16and you are 3-0 back,
02:18then it's mentally also difficult to go and go.
02:28We just try to give our best in the game,
02:33also when it was 3-0 or 4-0.
02:37I think we had also still a few chances then.
02:43Of course, this is not our standard that we lose 4-0 against City,
02:49we wanted to come through this round.
02:52So, yeah, next year we should go better and be better on the pitch.
03:04Florian, good evening.
03:05Ian Dennis from the BBC.
03:06What, Arna Slott said after the weekend that the players will react,
03:11what gives you confidence, belief or faith that you will react
03:16or can you react for this tough test?
03:21I think we've shown this season already that we are good in big games,
03:28especially in Champions League games.
03:31I think the last round against Galatasaray was not easy,
03:35because they have also a good team.
03:37So, yeah, we believe in ourselves,
03:41we have a good group together with good characters and great players,
03:46also a good manager who tries to prepare us good for the game.
03:53So, yeah, we believe in ourselves,
03:56we know we have the second game at home,
04:00that is maybe an advantage.
04:03So, yeah, we try to do our best,
04:07believe in ourselves and, yeah,
04:11come first of all with a good result to Anfield.
04:22Hi, Florian.
04:24This group of players, you mentioned that you've got a good manager,
04:27but is this group of players still playing for the manager?
04:30Because that's a question that's been asked, obviously,
04:32since Saturday's performance.
04:36Yes, of course.
04:38We are believing in the manager.
04:42The team should believe in the manager
04:45because they won the league last season.
04:49We had a lot of good games this season.
04:54As I said before, we wanted it to be better,
04:57but it is what it is now.
05:00We still have things to play for,
05:02and, yeah, everything I can say to that
05:06is that we believe in the manager
05:08and, yeah, try to get our best on the pitch tomorrow.
05:16Florian, the reaction to going 1-0 behind on Saturday
05:20was quite poor from the team.
05:22You conceded, I think, four goals in 20 minutes outside of half-time.
05:28What needs to be better about the team's mentality
05:30to avoid that?
05:32Because PSG will come hard at you tomorrow, right from the start,
05:37and people are maybe worried that if you concede an early goal,
05:40you could concede 2-3 again.
05:43Of course, we need tomorrow 90 minutes of full energy and full commitment.
05:51Otherwise, we will have no chance.
05:54We need 90 minutes of being together as a team.
06:02Also in difficult moments, if we concede, we have to stick together.
06:10I believe that we can win this game,
06:14and also over everything is that we still have a second game at home,
06:19where we want to for sure have a good result.
06:24So, yeah, we have to stick together and also in the bad moments.
06:33I think on the weekend we tried too much, I think, at one point,
06:42so we were a little bit, yeah, wild on the pitch.
06:51Yeah, so we have to fix that for the next game, and yeah.
06:57You've mentioned a couple of times the importance of Anfield for the second game.
07:01Do you think the team will play differently tomorrow?
07:04Less wild? A different approach, maybe?
07:07To ensure the tyres still open next week?
07:12We will give everything tomorrow.
07:15We have to give in both games everything we have.
07:20We cannot think that everything goes well at Anfield.
07:26So, yeah, we just need 90 minutes in both games with full focus.
07:33And, yeah.
07:37Hi, Florian. Ilias Peters from 90 minutes.
07:40Can you tell us how your partner, Ugo Ekitike,
07:45feels to play against his previous club, PSG?
07:48Does he feel like this is a special game for him?
07:53Yeah, I think it will be special for him because he played here.
07:58So, I hope he can enjoy it and maybe score a goal.
08:04That's what I wish him.
08:07Just the last one here.
08:11James, for you, Andrew.
08:17Florian, this will be the first Champions League quarter-final of your career.
08:20When you joined Liverpool last summer, was this the kind of nights that you really look forward to?
08:27And do you feel a responsibility to deliver on this kind of stage
08:30to justify the big expense and faith that the club showed in you?
08:35Yeah, of course.
08:36These are the games you want to play as a player.
08:38And, for sure, come through this round.
09:03Why do you think the better performances have come in the Champions League?
09:06And you've compared to the struggles of the players that you want to play as a player.
09:08domestically this season?
09:10Sorry?
09:11Obviously, the better performances from the team
09:13have come in the Champions League.
09:15You've beaten Real Madrid, you've beaten Atletico Madrid,
09:16Inter Milan, yet you've struggled against
09:19a lot of lesser teams in Premier League football.
09:23Yeah, I think we had also a few good games in the league.
09:28But, yeah, that shows maybe that the Premier League
09:32is a tough league, that there anyone can beat anyone.
09:38Yeah, the Champions League nights are always a bit different.
09:43You meet different clubs from different countries
09:46with a different play style.
09:50So, yeah, until now we've enjoyed it.
09:54We've come till here, so, yeah, just looking forward to...
