Liverpool’s Title Glory Built on Stars and Unsung Heroes Says Robertson | OneFootball

Robertson Salutes Unsung Heroes of Liverpool’s Title Triumph

Liverpool basked in Premier League glory once again after a dominant display against Tottenham Hotspur sealed their 20th league title. This was more than just a victory – it was vindication, jubilation, and long-awaited celebration all rolled into one. For a fanbase denied its moment in 2020 due to lockdown restrictions, Anfield finally became the scene of wild, deserved rejoicing.

From Mohamed Salah’s goalscoring brilliance to Virgil van Dijk’s defensive composure, this title win had its stars. Yet as the champagne corks popped and medals were handed out, one man shifted the spotlight away from the obvious. Andy Robertson, never one to seek headlines himself, chose instead to highlight those in the shadows – the unsung heroes.

Squad Depth Defines Champions

“It’s the lads that train so hard week in week out without maybe getting the rewards at the weekend,” said Robertson, speaking to Stadium Astro post-match. His words offered a sharp insight into what fuels championship-winning squads: not just the matchday starters, but those who support them in silence.

Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, and Jarell Quansah – three players who rarely grabbed headlines this season – were namechecked for their professionalism, dedication, and readiness. “You look at Wataru coming on, Harvey coming on, Jarell, all these lads, they’re always ready to contribute to the team and you can’t take that for granted,” Robertson added.

Their roles, though limited in minutes, have been vital. Whether it was pressing in training or injecting energy off the bench, these players helped push the standards inside the club. That drive, Robertson believes, is what separated Liverpool from the rest. “If you don’t have a good squad with a good attitude you’ll never win anything,” he emphasised. “Credit to those lads because I know it’s been difficult for them but they’ve managed to stay with us and this win’s as much for them as the likes of Virgil who haven’t missed a game all season.”

Depth Now, Decisions Later

The trio’s limited playing time – just two Premier League starts between them – has prompted speculation. Elliott is attracting interest from Bournemouth, Quansah from Newcastle, and Endo may return to the Bundesliga. With Arne Slot now overseeing Liverpool’s next steps, decisions will need to be made about how the squad is reshaped.

But Robertson’s rallying cry serves as a caution. Letting such dependable squad players leave may not seem like a major loss, but history has shown Liverpool’s campaigns can falter without depth. Injuries, fixture congestion, or loss of form can derail title hopes unless players like Endo, Elliott, and Quansah are ready to slot in.

Robertson’s Message Resonates

The Scotland captain also paid tribute to those working behind the scenes. “All the people in the background have been working tirelessly – the physios, the masseurs, the doctors, the kitchen staff,” he said. Their efforts, largely invisible to fans, form the backbone of elite football success.

This was not just a night for stars and statistics. It was a tribute to team spirit. Robertson’s praise for unsung heroes wasn’t lip service – it was a reminder of what truly underpins Liverpool’s rise. Talent is celebrated, but attitude is essential. In the heat of the title race, it’s often the quiet contributors who tip the balance.
