RIISE: I'VE NOT BEEN AT MY BEST
John Arne Riise has vowed to rediscover his best form after admitting he hasn't yet reached his usual high standards this season.
Despite figuring prominently in Rafael Benitez's first team plans, the Norwegian international is disappointed with his displays so far this term and knows he needs to improve to keep a place in the team.
"I was happy with my performances in pre-season, but when the season started I felt I wasn't reaching my true level," he said.
"I've noticed the fans haven't been too happy with my form and rightly so.
"I'm my own biggest critic and I know when I haven't performed well. Now I think I'm getting my sharpness back and hopefully returning to my real level."
Riise is also hoping a return to form will secure an extended contract offer having again reiterated his desire to remain with the Reds for the rest of his career.
"There was a story about me moving to Aston Villa in January," he added.
"I was away with the national team at the time and Liverpool are quite big in Norway so a lot of people were asking me about it. But it's completely false.
"I have 18 months left on my contract here and have no intention of leaving. Liverpool is the club closest to my heart and it's where I belong.
"If it wasn't for Liverpool I wouldn't be the player I am today and there is no chance that I'm going to ask for a transfer. I want to finish my career here and hopefully I can do that
這篇文章的大意是, 懷斯都知道自己今季到目前為止的表現欠理想, 也知道有部份球迷對他不滿意,
他希望會盡快改善自己表現, 另外, 他最後亦提到自己很愛利物浦, 更希望在這裡踢到退休.
雖然最近有不少版友批評他的表現, 但最緊要是他也知道自己的不足, 加油啦, 懷斯!!!! |
