Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, who returned to the team after an injury, said he hoped to bring confidence and freshness to the Premier League champions during the difficult period for the club. Diogo Jota made a great impression when he joined Liverpool from Wolverhampton in September, scoring 9 goals in 17 games prediction by
football predictions before injuring his knee in the Champions League match against Midtjylland on 9 December.
The 24-year-old appeared as a reserve in the second half in the 0-1 loss to Chelsea on Thursday and said he was determined to help the team for the rest of the season. Asked what he wants to achieve, Jota said on the Liverpool website:
Just a new impetus in terms of confidence and freshness, because they play and fight for the club. I feel like I can be like a winter transfer. This is what I hope they can count on me and I think I can help them in the future. Obviously, when you`ve been off the field for so long, it`s not easy to get back 100% right away. But it was good, I played for about 35 minutes and I felt good, he added.
Liverpool, who host Fulham on Sunday, have suffered injuries and poor form this season, with five consecutive defeats in the Anfield Premier League after losing none of their previous 68 games.
Even last season, everyone was talking about the fortress. . . Obviously the fans were a big help in maintaining this and we lost it. But still, this is our home and we have to make the opponents feel like they can`t win matches there. This is not happening at the moment, but we have another opportunity to change this on Sunday, Jota commented.
