The end of the current Premier League season is fast approaching, and last year's top team, Liverpool, has yet to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League zone..

Jurgen Klopp's charges have only three matches left before the end of the season and are four points behind London's Chelsea, who rounds out the top four in the country with one more match than the Reds..

On the eve of the away match against West Bromwich, the midfielder of the Merseyside club, Fabinho, gave an extensive interview to the club's press service, in which he spoke about the team's mood before the final spurt.

" We knew we had to win this game to keep our chances of making it into the four, and how we won was really special.. Playing against United, and even at Old Trafford, is never easy. We really played good football, defended well in the team, and it was a really good performance.

Also, I am very happy for Roberto Firmino, because he always plays good football.. When he cannot score, he can create space for other players or opportunities for other players.. Against United, he was in the right place at the right time. When the ball came to him, he scored. He is a really important player for us, and important players show themselves at important times..

I love playing in this " It doesn't matter what role: as a midfielder or as a center-back. We've had five wins in the last five times when I played as a midfielder, but that doesn't mean we're winning the game because I'm in midfield! But if I can help the team win, play better, I'm really happy.

I always try to choose the best position to tackle the balls, hedge the defense - it doesn't matter who the center-back is. Reece Williams and Nat Phillips had a really good match. I always say that communication between defense players is really important and contact with them really worked very well.. Especially with Nat, because he is also starting to show his leadership and we need someone in the back who can instruct other players to be in the right position..

Thiago is special too. He is a really good player and I have good communication with him in between games because we both speak Portuguese.. He is a really high quality player and he is gaining more confidence now..

Liverpool is a team used to shooting at decisive moments. There is really no room for error, but we have experienced players who have played and won so many important games.. We are on the verge of three finals, so we will try to play our best football. This is a defining moment, but we as players love moments like this.. We will be ready for the challenges.

Yes, West Brom has already been eliminated, but that does not mean that we will have an easy game. They had good performances before - they lost only in the last game to Arsenal, but before that they had good results. They have great players. For example, the Brazilian Mateus Pereira. We have to be really focused, focus on the game and try to bring Liverpool three points, "

West Bromwich - Liverpool match will take place on May 16, beginning at 18:30 Kyiv time.
