"Really good. Before the game [on Saturday] he motivated me, told me: 'Go outside and do your thing that you were doing last season' so he gave me a bit of a push. Then after the game he congratulated me and told me that I should keep going like that. We are good."
"He's a legend who did amazing things, won everything and still has quality. It's not like he's not here. He's a squad player. This is Liverpool, we're competing. He's pushing me, I'm pushing him and I think that's important to have in a big club like this."
Milos Kerkez, a 21-year-old Hungary international, has started six of seven matches since his £40m move from AFC Bournemouth. He was recruited to be the long-term successor to Andy Robertson.
