Liverpool is preparing for the new season in Asia, and Connate is looking forward to a greater challenge. The Reds are conducting high-temperature training in Japan, after they have been preparing for pre-season in Hong Kong for nearly a week. The goal is to prepare for the new season in August, and Connate is looking forward to it.

Konat said in an interview with Liverpool official website: "Last season we welcomed a new coach, he has a clear goal and told us how to win the Premier League. We acted as he planned and ended up doing a good job. I think this season will be more difficult."

"We have to remember the success of last season, but at the same time we have to learn the shortcomings and work hard to improve. Although we were the champions of last season, now everything is over, we need to start over and strive to do better than last season. That's why the preseason is so important."

"Everyone can see from the training video Our efforts. This is a good thing for the team, and we need to meet the upcoming difficult season through these hard training. Every opponent wants to beat us, and we want to defend the honor of last season. "

His French compatriot Ekitic just joined from Frankfurt. Connate said he will do his best to help his new teammates adapt to the new environment: "It is natural. As old players, we should help new players adapt to everything here, whether in the city or in the club, support it. This is not only my responsibility, but the entire locker room has such an atmosphere. I believe that new players will quickly integrate into the team."
