Liverpool's Milos Kerkez praises Andy Robertson's support as left-back successor

Liverpool's new left-back Milos Kerkez, signed for £40 million from Bournemouth, has praised the role of veteran teammate Andy Robertson in helping him adapt to life at the club. Kerkez, 21, has started six of Liverpool's seven matches this season and views Robertson as a key motivator who pushes him to raise his standards despite reduced playing time. Kerkez highlighted the tactical differences between his roles at Bournemouth and Liverpool, emphasizing the importance of team play and discipline under manager Arne Slot's system. Robertson, who was linked to Atletico Madrid but decided to stay at Liverpool, remains a valuable squad player and mentor. Kerkez's relationship with Robertson is described as very positive, with mutual encouragement seen as vital in a competitive environment like Liverpool. The club plans to rotate players for upcoming Carabao Cup fixtures, with Robertson expected to return to the starting lineup against Southampton.
