Why Andy Robertson will never praise himself
Liverpool star Andy Robertson will never praise himself, not even after a breakthrough season that shot the left-back to the top of the game.
The official club website reported that Robertson is an absolute machine and will never stop trying to improve how he goes about his business for the Reds.
After an incredible campaign in which the Scotland international stormed down the left flank, terrorizing defenders and attackers at will, he revealed that his desire to never stop improving is endless.
Basically, Robbo is thirsty.

“I’ll never praise myself because I think there’s always improvement to be made,” he insisted – and while it might be a little lonely at the top in terms of self love, the former Hull City man will always have us to love him.
Robertson played 95% of the club’s Premier League minutes and contributed to 12% of Liverpool’s goals with 11 assists.
Despite all those assists and all those minutes played and all those kilometers covered with the ball at his feet, the defender still isn’t that happy with how he season went and still wants to do more and be more.
“I still have a lot of improvement to make and hopefully I can show that in the following seasons,” Robbo insisted. Imagine that, a Handy Andy that’s even better than this incarnation. The mind boggles.
As well as this, the 25-year-old played a vital role in the meanest defence in the land. A defence that only conceded 22 times across 38 fixtures.
A big part of that is how well Virgil van Dijk has done, and how well he’s spurred on his defensive partner – whether that’s Joel Matip, Joe Gomez or Dejan Lovren.
“The central partnerships have been really good this season. He (van Dijk) has been on a different level to anyone this season,” explained Robertson.
Whatever happens in the off season, whether Lovren is sold or a new defender recruited, you know that Robertson and van Dijk are going to be absolutely key to any success going forward.
