Wijnaldum: “We want to give this season something special”

Gini Wijnaldum has admitted that he’d be disappointed not to start Liverpool’s Champions League final against Tottenham tomorrow night.

The Dutchman has enjoyed an impressive campaign with the Reds this season, culminating in a decisive brace against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield.

The midfielder, however, knows he’s not guaranteed to start in Madrid tomorrow night.

“There is no guarantee that you will play but we will see,” he told Sky Sports.

“I was angry (to not start against Barcelona) but I think that is normal. It’s a bad sign if you are happy to sit on the bench. (The expectation being) if you come back from an injury and you are coming back step-by-step.

“I just want to play as much as possible, especially in a game like (the final). I think everyone would be disappointed if they don’t play.

“I was disappointed but in the end you play as a team.

“We have a team which supports each other, you do your job and try to help the team win games.

“When I came in I gave it my all and then we will see what will happen.”

On the prospect of winning silverware this season, he added: “That’s how everyone is thinking about it – also me a little bit.

“You want to give the season something to think back on.

“Because it was so beautiful and we did our best to win something during the season. We hope we can win it.

“Ninety-seven points in the league is a lot, it wasn’t enough, but we put (a lot of) effort into our performance. A lot of times we were confident and had belief we could make a bad position a good one.

“This is why we want to give this season something special.”
