Robertson: Arnold is one of my best friends and I feel bad when I see him being booed

May 12th Liverpool drew 2-2 with Arsenal at home. After the game, Liverpool defender Robertson was interviewed by the media.

"I think the five to ten minutes of the game started, both teams were very sloppy. After that, we got the form and scored two goals. We had the advantage in the first half, and at the break we said we wanted to maintain the same intensity, but we were far from doing it in the second half. We lost the aggressiveness in pressing and the last step in defense. Then we performed strong in the final stage, and I felt that the goal I scored in the last moment might have been crucial, but someone told me that I might have offside that ball. We were very happy with the performance of this season, but the performance in the second half was not us. Normal level. We still have many aspects to improve."

Speaking of Arnold's announcement that he was leaving, Robertson said: "The emotions are complicated around this. At this moment, the key point is that I won't tell you how you feel, and don't tell me how you feel. All I can do is tell you how I feel. First of all, I'm disappointed to lose my best teammate. In the game, we went through everything together. He is a very good player and has a good character. He made me a better player, which is my heartfelt feeling. "

"Arnold brought me to a height I never thought I could reach before. During those wonderful years, he kept inspiring me. And he made a choice. The achievements he left in this club are obvious to all. The trophy he won, the moments he left in the history of the team, will always exist. It was an emotional decision. "

"For Arnold, it was never an easy decision. Of course it was not easy. But he had made a decision. It was not good to see his friend being booed, it was really bad. But like I said, we can't tell others what to do. "

"I can't fully express how I feel about it to you, and I feel extremely proud of him. As a player, I admire him; as a friend, I love him. In this sport, he is one of my best friends, I miss him."
