Riise reckons Reds revival will take longer
John Arne Riise believes it could take another year for Liverpool to become a force again.
The side fashioned by manager Rafael Benitez are currently 15 points behind Premiership leaders Chelsea – and Norwegian defender Riise warns it will take time for the new players to gel.
“The championship is very important for me and the rest of the players,” he told his club’s website, www.liverpoolfc.tv.
“That’s the one we really want to win. I know the fans feel the same. It’s going to be hard this year – although we’re not giving up.
“But I hope next year when the manager and the new players have had another 12 months to settle in we’ll be even better.
“Next season and the ones after that will be the big ones for us, I feel.”
