Liverpool will travel to Brighton & Hove Albion for their next Premier League match. German star André Wirtz stated in an interview that the team needs to build momentum and energy, and instill in the players the belief that they can win the game.

After a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of the league, Liverpool are currently in 5th place in the standings with 49 points, 2 points behind 4th place Aston Villa, and have achieved 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 rounds.

Liverpool midfielder Wirtz, 22, said, "It's very important for us, both in terms of our mentality and the team's fighting spirit. We need to build momentum and energy and convince ourselves that we can win the next games."

"It's always more advantageous when the team is in good form and the locker room atmosphere is better, because if we don't win, the team's morale won't be very good. So winning is always the better option, and of course we also need points. Therefore, we will prepare well for this game and try our best to take 3 points."

Earlier in the Champions League, Liverpool defeated Galatasaray 4-0 with goals from Szoboszlai, Ekitic, Hrafenbeh, and Salah, securing their place in the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Liverpool will face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.

It's worth mentioning that Wirtz created eight chances in the match against Galatasaray, a truly impressive performance.

Wirtz commented, "These statistics are certainly good and always worth discussing. But for me, the most important thing is the team's overall excellent performance. If I can help the team create scoring opportunities like this, I'll be very happy."

“I think the intensity we showed in that match was very important. We had to play like that to advance, and we are happy that we put in so much effort and finally achieved the desired result.”

Wirtz also said, "That day was very special. From the very beginning of the match, the fans' cheers gave us energy. When opposing players went down or similar situations occurred, the fans' support also helped us to some extent. It felt really great to be united on the field, and I am very grateful for the support the fans gave us."
