Szabo: The final will be held in Budapest, and this trip to the Champions League is particularly meaningful to me
About the team’s recent 4-game losing streak
In my career, I have never experienced four consecutive losses. This is also the first time for many teammates. The most important thing now is to stay united, we have had many meetings and communicated a lot with each other, but the most important thing is that we stay united. It is easy to be united in good times, but it is most important to stay united in difficult times. I believe we will respond in Wednesday's game.
About the upcoming changes
As long as we work hard and keep moving forward, good luck will eventually favor us. Gakpo hit the post three times last weekend and we created many chances without giving our opponents too many chances. Sometimes things just work out and we just need to move on now.
About returning to Germany to compete again
The most important thing is that we need to show our strength and Liverpool's ability again. We finished last season as champions with a lot of points and now everyone is coming down hard on us, but that's a good thing and we have to take it as a positive and be ready.
About the desire to win the Champions League title
Of course, we are very eager to win the Champions League title. But we have to take it one game at a time and now we have to play away in Frankfurt and we have to be ready for that. For me, this trip to the Champions League is particularly meaningful because the final will be held in Budapest. This is a long journey. We still have a lot to do, a lot to learn and change, and we have to focus on ourselves.
About Frankfurt’s home atmosphere
Frankfurt has incredible fans, and the whole city is full of fans. I played against them many times when I was at Leipzig and had good and bad experiences. They have a good team and a good coach and they are definitely ready.
About Ekitic facing his old club
It's always a special feeling, especially the way Ekitic left. While you can't say he became a legend in just two seasons, he was certainly loved. The connection between players, clubs and fans is so important and it feels wonderful to be able to come back to a place that still loves you. Hopefully he will help us instead of them.
