They talked about Reds coach Slott, winning the Premier League last season, hopes for the Champions League and dreams of striving for the World Cup with the Netherlands.

- Back to the place where I grew up as a Premier League champion, Gakepo was very proud

Gakepo: "You know, when you were a child, you only did what you like. I loved playing football very much, so I would keep playing. If someone told me at that time that I would become a Premier League champion, I would definitely not believe it, and I would not even dare to think about it."

"Now I will come back here and I can't help but think about everything I have gone along the way, those moments. We did something very special this year."

- Where did the Premier League championship medal be put?

Gakepo: "England, but when my dad comes back from Africa, I want to give him the medal. I can't keep it myself, so I have to win again, so maybe I can leave a piece for myself."

—Gakebo scored 18 goals in various competitions this season. What he remembered most was the match against Manchester City at home in early December. Liverpool defeated his opponent 2-0, and Gakebo scored a goal

Gakebo: "That felt like a declaration - we are here, we really want to compete with them."

—Againing Tottenham is a game to lock in the Premier League championship, Gakebo played a key role

Gakebo: "When I woke up that day, I felt that this game would not go wrong, so no one on the court was worried even if Tottenham scored a goal. Because we knew that we would win the championship that day."

—After the goal, Gakebo lifted up his jersey, with "IbelongtoJesus" printed on his T-shirt, paying tribute to Kaka's classic moment in the 2007 Champions League final. The T-shirt has been left at his house for a long time, and he firmly believes that he will score a goal at such a historic moment. When talking about contacting Kaka after the game, Gakbo laughed

Gakbo: "I think for many players, this is their first time winning the world's top league championship, so it's very special. For all participants, it's an emotional day."

"We were extremely proud at the time, even now, and are still proud of it. But it also makes us more eager to win again, even many times. We were a little frustrated when we were eliminated in the Champions League because we had the opportunity to create more special results."

- Talking about why we were in here Lott's men shine and the team's amazing performances

Gakpo: "His details are amazing. In some games you can see his style, he will make minor adjustments to Van Dijk, and the whole team adapts, and then we may score goals or defend more firmly. When these tactics work, you will sincerely believe his ideas. You know how he wants the team to play, and then you will adapt."

-What kind of person is Slott in private?

Gakpo: "He is easy-going. He is very focused when training or meetings, It's also very strict, with high quality and intensity requirements. But after training, if we have group activities, he'll be very relaxed. Everyone likes him. Of course, everything will be easier when winning. Occasionally, for example, in a derby against Everton, we'll see the coach showing excitement. But overall he's calm, speaks well and is not influenced by emotions."

-Gakbo has followed Van Nie, Koeman, Klopp and Slott, but he doesn't think these are the strictest coaches

Gakbo: "The strictest one is obviously my dad. The Ruyff Stadium is enjoyable, but the hard training is done on the lawn near my house. My dad is the strictest and best coach. I will always ‘hire’ him and will not ‘fire’ him. ”

"I probably didn’t enjoy training as much as I was a teenager. But now looking back at everything it brings me, and we are still persevering, I really benefited a lot."

- Garkepo's father was a football player in Togo and his mother was a Dutch rugby player. The two met while traveling around the world and eventually moved to Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The father and son occasionally practice in the backyard, such as when the Champions League performance was not as expected

Gakbo: "This means I can spend a little longer with him, because I don't live in the Netherlands anymore. Although the training is still very strict, we enjoy this moment of accompanying each other."

-Gakbo has had many scandals with Bayern, but he is not in a hurry to leave the team. In the next few years, Garkepo wants to stay in Liverpool: "I am grateful to be able to play for a top club in the world like Liverpool. My goal is to win trophys with the team and leave a legendary legacy for the team. When you are a victorious team, you will become an important part of history. This is the goal of all of us."

"I want to stay here as long as possible. I am loved by the people in the club, especially by the amazing fans of Liverpool, which will make people more motivated to repay them. Our players in certain positions are also Very young, I hope we can be together for a long time and create some achievements. "

"For a team like Liverpool, the Champions League must be the goal. That is the highest honor in European football, and we will fight for it again next season."

--Talking about next year's World Cup championship with the Netherlands team, Garkepo: "That will be incredible and the goal that all of us strive for. Now there are many players playing for the top clubs in the national team, which will make our lineup more powerful and deep. I hope we can go very far next summer."
