Live Bar, April 4th: In an official interview with the club, Liverpool's 21-year-old central defender Kuanza praised his teammate McAllister. He said McAllister was a magician. He also talked about playing against Xie Xie. PHL and what it’s like to play at Anfield.
Kwanza said first: "When I was younger, I always wanted to be part of the title race, to compete for trophies, and to be part of that is special and that's my goal. I have to stay calm and I think This is when I can play my best football and I can also help others." But at the same time, if some of the younger players see that I'm a little nervous, maybe they can replicate that energy and I just have to be myself. And show what I'm capable of. It's a healthy balance, and coaches would say if you're not nervous, you're probably not ready, and I totally agree with that, if you're too calm, you can be a little bit cocky sometimes. There's a balance between the two, and feeling a little nervous always helps you perform better."
Kwansa went on to say that playing under pressure helps him grow, saying: "That's why I say that. When I progressed through the age groups, especially after 18, it was because I was an important part of the team and captain of the team. I always enjoyed the pressure and leading the team and being important to the team. "
" I remember talking to Bradley about this and he said maybe 10 games in various events would be great. I'm always prepared for whatever might happen to me sometimes. It's still a little crazy to play so many games because the games go by so quickly, one after another."
Speaking about McAllister, Kuanza said: "He is a magician, I think I am very good when I have the ball. Calm down, but he's on another level. The things he does, the way he uses his body, you can give him the ball and you know he's going to turn early and get the ball forward. It's really cool to have these guys in the team. It's great, what he has done for us this season is crucial, he is a very important part of the team."
Speaking about the upcoming game against Sheffield United, Kuanza said: "After every game this season, the situation is different. It's the same. The game is over and we have to look back a little bit and pick out the moments worth analyzing, that's all about the results and we want to win one game at a time and hopefully that will put us in the right place for the season. In a good position before the end. "
"They (Sheffield United) are fighting for relegation and have their own reasons why they have to win and we know that. We have to focus on what we need to do and give everything."
Kwansa finally spoke about the feeling of playing at Anfield, saying: "I hate being in the opponent's dressing room and using our energy. And if we satisfy the crowd with our performance on the pitch, it will be almost impossible for the team to get into trouble.”
