Lovely summer's evening at Anfield, this place is filling up nicely
and after the last year or so we will never underestimate this.
A final dress rehearsal before Liverpool stride out
in their first Premier League fixture at Carrow Road this Saturday evening.
I think the demands we have and the way we play, with the intensity and the energy,
I think we especially need that and benefit from it,
so, luckily we have been able to do that this year
and hopefully today is another good step for the lads that are playing,
and it leads us all into a good start to the season.
Let's go, come on.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
One touch, two touch.
CHEERING
♫ And you'll never walk alone
♫ You'll never walk alone... ♫
FANS: Yes!
♫ Give the ball to Bobby, he will score
♫ Our No. 9, give him the ball and he'll score every time... ♫
FANS: Ohhh!
CHEERING
♫ Jordan, Jordan Henderson... ♫
Good to see you, you all right?
- Yeah, well played. - Thank you, mate.
Hi, guys, you all right?
Joe, there was probably a few nights over the course of the winter,
cold days where you were doing rehab on your own
where even a friendly in front of a crowd felt a long way away.
Yeah, precisely that, it was a long road and one that made me really appreciate today.
Not just today but being back with the boys and training again,
I love it. I didn't need the perspective but I definitely got further insight
into how much of a blessing it is to play in front of this crowd.
Today was a special atmosphere again.
Great to see you back out there, thank you, Joe.
Cheers.
You can see, both teams yesterday and today were absolutely inspired
by the atmosphere. It's good for the people, good for the players,
it's much more excitement, much easier to enjoy, much more emotional.
Yeah, much more passion on and off the pitch and that's what you want.
I'm very excited about the new season, absolutely.
Thanks, Jürgen.
