Andrew Robertson: Say what you say
Early this morning, Andrew Robertson scored an important goal to help Scotland Poland 2-1. This victory helps him and his teammates continue to cling to the hope of staying in the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.
Andrew Robertson celebrated his 80th appearance for Scotland perfectly with the decisive goal in injury time, helping his team win a 2-1 victory over Poland in Warsaw. This result not only helped Scotland overcome Poland to take third place in Group A1 of the UEFA Nations League, but also opened up a great opportunity for them in the play-off match in March next year.
While Scotland faced the most difficulties, Robertson affirmed his value as a leader on the field, becoming a pillar of support for his teammates. This was an important turning point to help Scotland maintain the chance to stay in the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.
A few days earlier, Robertson also had a good match against Croatia. The 30-year-old defender showed his great influence in both and defense, contributing to Scotland’s 1-0 victory.
It is worth mentioning that Robertson’s form since the beginning of the season has not been very good. However, the defender born in 1994 is gradually regaining his best form.
Injuries and missing the pre-season have affected Robertson a lot, especially when Liverpool made changes on the coaching bench. The form of the number 26 defender at the beginning of the season made coach Arne Slot unable to rest assured. He was forced to rotate between him and Kostas Tsimikas.
The peak of Robertson’s streak came in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal. The Liverpool defender was constantly surpassed by Bukayo Saka and also made a mistake in the situation where the opponent opened the score.
With poor form, Robertson faced a lot of criticism from fans. Not stopping there, Liverpool have also been quietly pursuing Milos Kerkez in recent times to be ready to replace the 30-year-old defender.
In a difficult context, Robertson has tried to overcome everything. He ignored the positive things and only focused on improving the problems he was facing. And Robertson’s efforts have brought results.
Before the November international break, Robertson also played well when Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in the Premier League. After that match, the player born in 1994 shared:
“I have been on the bench in recent matches. Perhaps this is the first time in a long time that my ability has been doubted. But I always try to prove those doubts wrong. I did it again in the recent match against Aston Villa.
Anyone can say anything about me, but I will always try to practice to improve every day. I also had to be on the bench under Jurgen Klopp or in the Scotland national team. But in the end, I always respect the coach. From my own experience, I always try to help all my teammates as well as take the starting position in the matches.”
After all, Robertson’s form is clearly improving. This is something that promises to bring many positive signals to The Kop in the upcoming journey towards the goal of conquering titles.
