Robertson: “I’m going through the 10 most difficult days of my football career”

Two weeks ago he had the chance of a legendary season at team and national level as he lifted all the trophies with Liverpool and made his first World Cup appearance with Scotland since 1998, but the final treated him like medicine. .

The reason for Andy Robertson, who experienced three major disappointments in a very short space of time: first he lost the Premier League title to Manchester City by a point, followed by the defeat against Real in Paris in the Champions League final, during the The last “catapult” came at “Habten Park” as Scotland lost 3-1 to Ukraine and said goodbye to the dream of being in Qatar.

How does the left-back of the ranks and captain of the Highlanders experience all of this? A little more than difficult, although the 28-year-old, with his statements in the newspaper “Itechnical examiner”:

“Personally, these are the 10 most difficult and toughest days of my football career. Emotionally, spiritually, in terms of physical exhaustion, everything. So it’s not pretty.

But to be honest I’ll make it on my own, I’ll go a long way to settle down and I’ll think”, stressed the Liverpool defender, adding:

“I get angry with my team-mates in the national team. I really wanted to go to a World Cup and play on the biggest stage in football, but we couldn’t.”

That’s the situation in football at national level, the players are growing and you never know when the last chance is. That’s why it hurts so much.”

When asked if Scotland deserved a bit more given their overall presence in the semi-final against Ukraine, he replied:

“We didn’t have a performance that would have earned us qualifying. They were able to adjust to the game quicker and in those situations whoever does it faster has the upper hand.

We were late to play our football. We knew they were going to get tired but we only started putting pressure on them in the last 15 minutes when we were 2-0 down and when you start chasing you risk counterattacking.

“We fought for the last 15 minutes but it wasn’t enough to win the game.”
