Milos Kerkez believes that the “future is bright” for Liverpool.
The Reds won’t be winning silverware this season after mounting a disappointing defence of their Premier League title but the full-back is confident that better times are ahead – despite the impending departures of stalwarts Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.
Kerkez told ESPN: “I think the future is bright. We have really good quality in the team. Even now, I think we connect better but next year is going to be a better season. We know we have to have a better season.
“There are many hungry players in the team. Of course we’re going to miss that leadership from the older guys because they’re experienced and have been through everything. But we have to learn, we have to move on and next year we have to make it a better season.”
Kerkez has taken over as Liverpool’s first-choice left-back from Robertson but regards the Scotland international as a “legend”.
He said of Robertson: “He really is a legend. The best (left-back in Premier League history). I said it, and I believe that because of what a player he is, how much energy he has, how much running and assisting. It’s really unbelievable.”
Kerkez continued: “Robbo’s a big player who did a lot of stuff for the club. At the end of the day, we had to compete this season for playing minutes but there’s no bad blood. I came in, and he took me under his wing and helped me a lot.
“He gave me advice along the way. When you see these players, you want to learn from them and when it’s time to succeed them, you have to be there.
“I know this is a big thing. He gave a lot to the club. I know I have big shoes to fill in the future, that’s for sure. I’m going to give my best.”
