Andy Robertson finds himself in an unfortunate position as a footballer, where he’s the captain of his national team, but not one who managed to book his place at the first mid-season World Cup.
Speaking to the Liverpool club’s website, the 28-year-old spoke about how he felt watching the tournament: “Difficult, I didn’t really watch it to be honest. [I] I tried to tune out football for a couple of weeks. Slowly but surely the last few days [I] I started seeing a couple more of the games and stuff like that.
“Obviously I was in the other part of the world where the time difference was a little bit [different]and I didn’t want to stay up and watch the games.

It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for our man and despite saying it was because of the time difference that he didn’t see many games, it must be hard to miss what would have been one of the best moments. of his career
With three and a half years to go until the next tournament, his long-term international focus will be trying to qualify for the next edition in the US, Canada and Mexico, but for now, the left-back must watch with envy.
There is no doubt that playing for the Reds again will be a huge boost and distraction for him and the other players in Dubai, so let’s hope they turn this frustration into positives once domestic football returns.
For our No.26, it has clearly been a difficult period for him, but one that will also inspire him to go and show that he is still one of the best players in the world, despite not being able to prove it on the international stage.
