Liverpool will travel to face Fenerbahce in a key Champions League fourth-round match. Dutch star Gakopo stated that Liverpool possesses great attacking potential and believes that the "Reds" will become even stronger once the teammates develop better understanding.
In a previous Premier League match, Liverpool lost 0-1 to defending champions Arsenal after conceding a goal in the first half. Liverpool currently sits in 5th place in the Premier League table with 15 points, 9 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Liverpool striker Gakopo said, "We are currently nine points behind Arsenal in the standings, and I think Arsenal is a very good team, which they showed again at every stage of that game. As for us, the team is still in the development stage and is constantly improving in some aspects."
"If we can have a great day, I think we have a chance to close the gap with them. However, we are currently working to improve our consistency and make sure that we can perform at the level of a top team in every game and every minute."
In the Champions League, Liverpool defeated Villarreal 4-3 in their last match, thanks to goals from McAllister, Araujo, and Wirtz. With this third consecutive win, Liverpool currently sits in fourth place in the standings with nine points.
When discussing Liverpool's different performances in the Premier League and the Champions League, Gakopo said, "I think it depends on which angle you look at it from. In the two games against Villarreal and LASK Linz, we scored a lot of goals, but we also conceded a lot of goals."
"The Champions League is always a special competition, and special things always happen in it, and we experienced those moments in those two matches. But I don't want to say that we are better suited to play this competition than the Premier League, which is obviously not the case."
Gakopo pointed out, "I think we have great potential in attack. Every player has shown their individual ability at different stages, whether at Liverpool or other clubs. For example, Barcoa, who joined the club not long ago, showed excellent ability at Paris Saint-Germain and has proven it again this season."
"However, we still need to get to know each other better and build chemistry. I believe that once we do that, the team will only get better than it is now."
Regarding the upcoming match, Gakopo said, "I expect a very intense, even hostile, atmosphere. I remember we played two matches in Turkey last season, and the atmosphere there was very exciting."
"Some players enjoy this kind of environment, and I also like to play in this atmosphere, so I'm really looking forward to this game and hope that there will be a great atmosphere."
