Elliott emphasises the rarity of their bond, remarking, “It’s extra-special… with friends, players who are so close in your life.” This sentiment is echoed by Jones, who reflects on his journey from a young, hungry lad to a more experienced team member at just 22, highlighting the team’s tight-knit nature.
Rising Through the Ranks Together
The relationship between Elliott and Jones is more than just professional; it’s a friendship forged through shared experiences, both at Liverpool and in the England U21 squad. Elliott recalls their growing connection since his arrival at the club, with Jones standing by his side through various milestones. This off-field bond, Jones notes, strengthens their on-pitch chemistry, a key component in their combined 46 appearances and critical contributions this season.
Individual Brilliance, Collective Strength
Their individual talents are not lost on each other, with Jones praising Elliott’s versatility and growing influence, especially in the absence of key players like Mo Salah. Elliott, in turn, lauds Jones’s impact, admiring his hard work and ability to affect games in multiple ways. This mutual respect and recognition underpin their belief in the team’s potential, with Elliott confidently stating, “We got off to a very good start… we have that belief within us.”
Aiming for Glory with the Reds
Looking ahead, both players are eager to contribute to Liverpool’s pursuit of silverware. Jones, with over 100 senior appearances, is hungry for more goals and assists, signaling his readiness to take on greater responsibility. Elliott shares this ambition, emphasizing the need to take games one at a time while keeping an eye on the ultimate prize. Their upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham is a step towards this goal, with Jones remarking on the specialness of winning something with this team.
