Naby Keita has revealed that his goal is to help his team (liverpool) to win matches and not just focus on scoring goals for himself. Keita was on a scoring drought up until Southampton and Porto where he scored two vital goals.
Of course, yes, I think all players, everyone, would be happy to score their first goal.
But for me, the most important thing is the team – and I’d love the team to win every match we play. Yes, it’s true it’s taken a while for me to score, but I’m a midfielder and we already have goalscorers here – Mo Salah, Firmino, Sadio – so we in midfield take advantage of the opportunity to help them.
We are there to help them score and if we also have the chance to score ourselves, we try to take it. But the most important thing is for the team to win – above everything.
When you’re playing, you can’t see yourself – it is people who are watching who know [how well youre playing thats good].
When you hear things like that about yourself, you just have to carry on and try to do more. You can’t stop and you can’t be happy with it. I am happy people appreciate me – and what it does for me is give me more desire to work harder and do more.
Yes, of course I’m happy [with my form]. When you do some good things you have to carry on, you must not stop and be happy with just that. If I do good things, I have to carry on working. For me it is nothing [at the moment], I am going to carry on training and following the advice of the managerduring the sessions – and that’s it.
