FULL Alexis Mac Allister interview with LFC: “This club will support me in achieving my goal of winning more trophies.”

Alexis Mac Allister explained why he thinks his move to Liverpool will allow him to increase his medal total and create many more career high points.

After an agreement was reached for his transfer from Brighton and Hove Albion for an undisclosed sum, the 24-year-old became the Reds’ first addition of the summer on Thursday.

After helping Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar at the end of 2022, it is the midfielder’s latest happy moment in a hectic year.

Making 35 appearances and scoring 10 goals in the Premier League, Mac Allister also assisted Brighton in securing European football for the first time in their history with a sixth-place finish.

He spoke exclusively to Liverpoolfc . com at the AXA Training Centre shortly after passing his medical and signing his long-term contract. You can watch the full interview in the LFCTV GO video below, or continue reading for the transcript.

Greetings from Liverpool FC, Alexis. How do you feel?

I appreciate you.
Wonderfully wonderful. It’s a dream come true to be here, it’s amazing, and I can’t wait to start.

How happy are you that the transaction was completed so early in the summer?

Yes, it’s advantageous for the club and me. It’s good that everything has been completed because I wanted to play [from] the first day of preseason. Meeting my teammates is something I’m looking forward to.

Your family and friends back home must be giddy with excitement, so tell me about the last few days.

Yes, I’ve received a lot of messages. Even though I was active on Twitter and other social media, I kept to myself and was, of course, waiting for this moment.

With Brighton, Argentina at the World Cup, and now this move, the last year or so has been really good for you. Will it sink in eventually or has it already?

As you rightly point out, I had an incredible year thanks to the World Cup and the accomplishments we made with Brighton, but now it’s time to focus on Liverpool and make every effort to improve as a player and a person.

Why do you think that this move to Liverpool is the logical next step in your career?

due to the size of the club. Since I’ve been here, I’ve been able to see how big this club is, both in terms of the players we have and the staff as a whole. I’m thrilled and eager to play for this club.

You’ve participated in two opposing player games at Anfield. How excited are you for the time when you’ll be a Liverpool player and play there?

I must admit that I have many happy memories of Anfield, but I’m hoping the future ones will be even better. I formerly played for Boca Juniors, and I believe Liverpool is the type of team that its supporters cheer on throughout the entire game. I can’t wait to perform for our supporters and demonstrate our abilities.

You’ve chosen No. 10 shirt, which has been worn in the past by some outstanding Liverpool players. Has that number any particular significance to you since you’ve worn it at some of your previous clubs?

Not really, I’m afraid.
I am aware of how critical the No. Football is 10 yards. I had the option of selecting No. 8 as well, a significant number for this club due, of course, to [Steven] Gerrard. But I went with no. Because I frequently used it in Brighton, Argentina, and with the U.S. U23 team, I gave it a score of 10. I chose it because it’s a number I really like.

Has Jürgen Klopp given you the chance to speak since you signed, and did he play a significant role in your choice to do so?

I had the chance to speak with him, and he seems like a really nice guy. In addition to being one of the best managers in the world, it is clear that the players respect him. Working with him is something I’m really looking forward to.

You’ve already made significant career advancements. Do you believe that this team and club provide you with a platform to continue developing and getting better?

Yes, that is the plan. Since I won the World Cup, I have stated that I want to win more trophies, and I believe that this club will assist me in doing so. Winning trophies is necessary to be a part of a major club like this one. I therefore want that.

Do you want to briefly describe your experience playing a variety of midfield positions and roles for different teams as well as the skills you will bring to this team?

Since I’ve played in nearly every position, I believe the managers with whom I’ve worked are aware that I am capable of filling in wherever necessary. As a player, I strive to play as simply as possible while also assisting my teammates when they are attacking or defending. The most crucial factor is that, and I’ll do my best to bring my team-player skills to this club.

Are you hoping that your three and a half seasons in the Premier League will help you adjust quickly and contribute to the team right away?

Yes, absolutely.
However, now that I am familiar with how everything operates, it was very difficult during my first year at Brighton due to the language and culture. Although it will take some time, once I’m accustomed to the club and everything else, I believe everything will be fine.

Over the course of your career with Liverpool, what goals do you have?

Well, the goal is to win medals. The particular ones are irrelevant. Of course, every player wants to win the Premier League and the Champions League, but I’ll work as hard as I can to support the team and try to take home every trophy.

What final message do you have for the Liverpool fans reading or watching this interview?

The most crucial factor is that I’m confident this team will sacrifice everything to win trophies and make them happy. It’s a pleasure to be here at this club, and I will give it my all every day. I hope they stick by me and the team, and I know they will.
