With the 2024/25 season ending with a Premier League title, Slaughter's team will undoubtedly face greater expectations and pressure in the new season. However, Scotland captain Robertson believes that the "Red Army" has a good mentality to cope with pressure and challenges.

After Klopp, who had coached Liverpool for many years, stepped down as head coach, Sloter from the Netherlands led Liverpool to overcome all obstacles and responded to external doubts with strength and results, and finally won the Premier League championship 4 rounds in advance.

When talking about the team will face greater pressure and expectations, the 31-year-old Liverpool defender Robertson said, "This is what we have to face now. For those of us who have been in the team for a long time, like me, Van Dijk, Salah and Alisson, we have adapted to this pressure and can feel it deeply when we won the Premier League last time. But for those players who win the championship for the first time or those who have just joined the team, they will really feel this pressure for the first time."

"In the past season, that lack of attention worked in our favor. We could quietly get off to a good start, and by the time people started to take us seriously, we might have been far ahead. It was the perfect situation for us."

Robertson pointed out, "But the expectations are there. We won the first place in the last season, and the fans may also hope that we will still be the first in the new season, just as they expect it every year. So the expectations from the outside world will be higher. What we have to do is to manage these pressures and deal with these challenges well."

"I think our squad has the mentality and psychological qualities, but other teams will also become stronger. The Premier League is an extremely difficult league, and we will see what happens next. We believe in the team's squad and the team's mentality. We will never be complacent, there is no doubt about it, and we will continue to make full efforts next season."

Talking about his future at Liverpool, Robertson said: "I'm not sure what the future holds. I just know I'm going to go on vacation. This break is so needed. I really need a break after a long season. I never look too far ahead and I won't do that from now on."

On the other hand, Liverpool will participate in a pre-season friendly next month, starting with a match against Preston, while the schedule for the 2025/26 Premier League season will be announced next week.
