🗣 Erik ten Hag: "A game against Liverpool is always exciting. It's a really good test for us."
"We just started. Some players only one week. Now we've got to construct a team, a way of playing. We are really short in pre-season. We have to develop a lot more."
on Cristiano Ronaldo's pre-season absence: "He's not with us and it's due to personal issues."
"We are planning with Cristiano Ronaldo this season and that's it. I look forward to working with him."
"Cristiano is not for sale, he's in our plans and we want success together."
"Harry Maguire is the captain. I have to get to know all the players, but he's an established captain and he has achieved a lot of success."
on Tyrell Malacia: "He is the profile of the modern full-back. Defending well, tough to beat. And in the attack, a very good contribution."
"I spoke with him [Ronaldo] before this issue came up. I had a conversation with him and had a real good talk."
asked what the conversation entailed: "That is between Cristiano and me. The only thing that I can confirm is that we had a real good conversation together."
