Liverpool will face Brentford in the 9th round of the 2025/26 Premier League. Liverpool defender Conor Bradley said that he and his teammates are looking forward to participating in this game and think it will be another difficult game.

In the last round of the Premier League, Liverpool equalized after falling behind thanks to a goal from Chiesa and Gakpo, but conceded again in the final moments and ultimately lost 2-1 to Manchester United at Anfield. After three consecutive defeats, Liverpool currently drops to third place in the standings with 15 points, four points behind first-placed Arsenal.

However, in an earlier Champions League focus match, Liverpool relied on goals contributed by Ekitik, Van Dijk, Konate, Gakpo and Soboslai to finally beat Frankfurt 5-1, successfully injecting a shot in the arm for the players.

As for Brentford, the "Bees" are ranked 14th in the standings with 10 points, and have achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the past 5 rounds.

Connor Bradley, 22, said: "The past few weeks have been difficult for us, so that victory was very crucial. But it was only three points. We now need to focus on the game at hand and hope to get another victory."

"We will be prepared and we will study the footage that the manager shows us and I am sure the team will be fully ready. We are looking forward to the game and it will be another difficult one."

Talking about Liverpool's ability to fight back when they were behind, Connor Bradley said, "It's really not easy, especially after the previous few difficult games, so the rebound in this game is of great significance. Many teams may collapse when they are behind 0-1, but that's not us. It's really great to win 5-1 in the end. The team's overall performance is very good."

In terms of personal condition, Connor Bradley said, "It's never a good thing to get injured in the preseason, especially when you've almost survived all the training and then got a minor injury at the end. It's really frustrating. This will disrupt the rhythm and make the start difficult because you're ready to play at your best, but you encounter setbacks."

"It's definitely not an easy situation, but I just want to get back to full fitness, play as many games as possible and do my best to help the team."

As for the tacit understanding between the new players and their teammates, Connor Bradley said, "It does take time. You have to build relationships, but this is not something that can be done in a day. It takes weeks or even months of accumulation. However, I think all the new players have integrated very well."

"They are both great people and have proven to be top players, both in their previous clubs and now. They are both great people and excellent players and we are very lucky to have them."
