Liverpool official: Robertson takes over as vice captain; Slott describes it as the biggest gift

Hupu, August 30, Liverpool officially announced that Scottish left-back Robertson took over as the team's deputy captain.

The No. 26 player will serve as deputy captain of Reds captain Van Dijk, his ninth season at the club.

Robertson, captain of Scotland in the national team, will replace Trent Alexander Arnold, who moved to Real Madrid in June this year.

When asked about the latest situation of the vice captain on Friday, Slott told reporters:

"It's Robertson. He played here for many years and won the league twice. Last season it was Virgil, Trent, Robertson and Salah. Trent left, so there are many reasonable reasons (this decision).

He is a very good player, played a lot of games, knew what needed, understood the culture of the team, and the culture of the club and the locker room.

In addition to all the strength he has shown on the court, he plays an important role in the culture of our club. As I said several times last season, this is the biggest gift I can get from Jurgen Klopp. If I leave this club, we must also retain the same culture for my successor. "

Robertson has won two Premier League titles with the team and has participated in 344 games since he moved from Hull City to Liverpool in 2017.

During this period, he also won the Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup (twice) and the European Super Cup.

So far, he has served as the captain of the Red Army seven times.
