'When it's difficult, a real team shows up' – claims Gakpo whilst praising Liverpool

Liverpool’s newest signing explains that their recent good form has been due to the their team spirit and togetherness.

claims that "When it's difficult, a real team shows up". And “show up” they did, as Liverpool beat Everton and Newcastle United 2-0 in the span of a week with Gakpo scoring in both matches.

Gakpo spoke to the press ahead of

’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid, believing their recent good form has come at the perfect time.

"I think it's difficult to put your finger on something that has really changed, but everyone knows when you're not winning the games, it's difficult,"

Gakpo said.

"I think the games we won, we played better than in the games before, and the result is maybe the outcome of the greater intensity we had in those games.

"As a newcomer, I sense that the group is really good, we come together and stay together in difficult moments. It was difficult to try to stay positive and keep helping each other, it has helped us go on to better things.

"When it's difficult, a real team shows up. This is one of those times. We really stuck together and stayed positive and tried to help each other in the difficult moments.

"Just in time, we started winning games again, and now we have a big opportunity to show we are back on track."

Gakpo has had to adjust to playing under Jurgen Klopp, since he has been mainly used as a central striker at Liverpool rather than the left winger role he was accustomed to at PSV.

"I played the last three years on the left side, but at the World Cup under Louis van Gaal I already played in the center.”

He added.

"I already tried to adapt to that, and when I came here the coach said it was possible for me to play on the left or in the center, so I'll try to adapt quickly to that position and improve."
