Connat: I‘m the first French player to win the Premier League title for the Reds, which is incredible

April 28 According to the Liverpool Echo, Connate talked about his feelings about winning the championship in a recent acceptance.

Konat admitted in an interview that he almost cried when Liverpool locked in the Premier League championship four rounds ahead of schedule. The French defender also revealed coach Slott's speech at the beginning of the season, which pointed out the direction for the team to win the championship. Liverpool beat Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield last Sunday afternoon, tying a record of 20 top-flight titles in England.

This is the second time that the Reds have won the Premier League in five years. Although Conat didn't join Liverpool until 2021, he personally experienced a loss of the championship in 2022 with only one point and a loss at the end of last season. After the game, as fans gradually left the stadium, Connate was found sitting alone in the main stand, immersed in the joy of becoming the first French player to win the Premier League title for Liverpool.

In response, Connat said: "After the game, I walked into the stadium, sat in the stands, and wanted to experience what it felt like to be a fan. It was really hard to describe my mood in words. I said to my brother, 'I want to see what it feels like to sit in the stands'. I tried to feel like a fan, but the stadium was empty at that time, and I just wanted to enjoy this moment alone. We won the championship with the witness of 60,000 fans and teammates, I just wanted to experience something different, and now I am really happy. I almost cried, it was crazy, unbelievable, we have to enjoy this moment. Everyone in the locker room was very happy, it was a wonderful moment, but everyone was tired." Connat believes that the celebration will be even more grand when Liverpool officially held the trophy after the season finale against Crystal Palace on May 25.

In response to this, Connate said: "It's amazing, and honestly, I'm not fully aware of it yet, but we have to enjoy it. I think the last day of the season will be even more special because we'll hold the trophy. After four seasons of hard work, I finally did it and I'm very happy. First of all, we're in the best league in the world and we know how hard it is to win the Premier League every season. I've watched every game of this league every week since I was a kid, and now I can It is incredible to win the championship here. I was the first French player to win the Premier League for Liverpool, which is incredible."

In addition, Connert recalled winning the League Cup at Wembley Stadium last season, and Connert said: "That time was great, but this time it was even more special because it was the Premier League champion."

After Klopp, who had coached Liverpool for a long time, few people expected Liverpool to become a real champion. But under the leadership of new coach Slott, the Reds performed well in the Premier League this season, scoring the most goals, and their defense was second only to Arsenal, ranked second. Connert described the coach’s conversation with the players at the beginning of the season, portraying his vision.

Speaking of Slot, Connate said: "I think he brought something new, like our style of playing, before the season started, he showed us some details about why we didn't win the league title last season and said that if we improve these aspects, there is a great chance of winning the championship, which is what we have been doing since the beginning of the season. We have to be happy, I saw him on the court, he didn't want to accept the praise, but walked behind us, and this humility is incredible. Of course, we ran on the court, gave everything, but he did a lot for the team. Thank him, and thank the fans. Can we win the championship again? First of all, we have to enjoy this time, because it's all over after the new season begins. We can't forget this honor, but we have to focus on next season and go all out to win the championship again. Why not?"
