Liverpool will travel to Bournemouth, the "Cherry Berry," for their next Premier League match. Liverpool defender Gomez stated that playing away is not easy, but the team must apply the positive factors gained from past victories to this game.

In the last round of the Premier League, Liverpool scored in the first half through Wirtz, but conceded a goal in the second half, ultimately drawing 1-1 at home against Burnley. After a win and a draw in their last five matches, Liverpool currently sits in fourth place with 36 points, one point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United.

However, in an earlier Champions League match, Liverpool defeated Marseille 3-0 thanks to goals from Szoboszlai and Gakopo, regaining their confidence in advancing to the round of 16.

Konaté, 28, said, "I think we need to build confidence from this game, take the positives, and continue to maintain good playing habits. Keeping a clean sheet is a very important foundation. I think we have been very solid defensively, but sometimes we just haven't been able to convert our advantages into convincing victories."

“Bournemouth is a very strong team, and we are back in the Premier League away from home, so it will be a tough game. But we must try to apply what we have learned from the win to this game. Everyone knows their ability, and as the team continues to achieve success, they have lost a lot of players, but they have done a very good job in signing new players and developing young talent. They have a great manager and a great squad, so it will definitely be a tough match.”

Konaté continued, "We are also aware of our current situation in the league, and it will be very difficult to defend our title. In the Champions League, it is of great significance for us to strive for qualification and enter the top 8 in the coming week. This gives us a very clear goal to work hard and achieve something this season. Everything is positive, and we must enjoy and embrace the challenge."

Furthermore, when discussing his partnership with teammate Virgil van Dijk, Konaté said, "We've been on a long journey and experienced many ups and downs, but I have so many wonderful memories and experiences with Van Dijk, and it's an honor to play alongside him. It's a very happy thing, and at least for me personally, he is the best player in this position."

“He is probably one of my closest friends in the football world. I think we know each other very well and I will never forget his playing habits and style. All I can do is try my best, and fortunately, this partnership can achieve great results.”
