Return home

Robbie Fowler returned to Liverpool as a free agent last weekend the winner of the last champions league and the European Super Bowl - the English Liverpool - announced that one of the most beloved fans of the players of the last decade - 30 -year -old striker Robbi Fowler is returning to the team.

Fowler debuted in Liverpool in 1993 at the age of 18. As part of the Reds, before his transition to Lids, which took place in 2001, he held 330 games, scoring 171 goals in them! The ex-impacing the England team then in 2003 moved to Manchester City, for which he scored 20 goals in 80 meetings.

Forward, who spent the last seasons at Manchester City, moved to Liverpool as a free agent. In his native club, whose pupil he is, Robbie will stay until the end of the season with a possible extension of the contract.

- Robbie, it seems, your dream has become a reality?

- Oh yes! I always dreamed of returning to Liverpool, to Enfield. You know, now I feel myself every day a child who has just woken up a Christmas in the morning with a sense of holiday and anticipation of gifts. My dream has come true. I believed that if you strive for something very much, then this would certainly happen. Of course, I did not cry with happiness, but by a smile that does not leave my face, you can understand how important the event happened in my life. When they put a contract in front of me, I did not hesitate for a second. I didn’t even have to study it. I agreed. This, you know, is like returning to your first and only love! In recent years, I have dreamed about it. I hope that I can repay the club management and fans for trust.

- How did you react to your care at Manchester City?

- I am insanely grateful and grateful to the leadership of City and the chief manager of the club - Stuart Pierce. As soon as it became known about the interest of Liverpool, they met with me. They looked into my eyes and realized what it means to me. They went to meet my dream, helped me. I am very grateful to them.

- Your return caused unprecedented enthusiasm among Liverpool fans. They say: "God is back!"

- I did not even dare to hope for a similar reaction. My phone simply repented from calls with congratulations. And when I hear people call on the radio stations, how they took my return, my tears are welling into my eyes. I will do everything in my power to justify this trust, not to disappoint the fans.

- You have no offense left due to the fact that Liverpool had to leave four years ago?

- What are the insults?! I am happy that I returned. You have no idea what this means for me - to put on a red T -shirt again, go through the tunnel to the crowded stands of Enfield ...

- You seem to be present in Istanbul on the final of the last Champions League?

- Yes, but I was a simple Liverpool fan. He sat on a fan stand. And in the break I thought it was over. I will definitely find out from Rafael Benites what he told the players during the break. This is the most grand victory in my memory!

- Will you be very nervous before going to your first game for Liverpool?

“You can’t call me a debutant, a strongly nervous person too.” But, you know, I was terribly worried even before going to my first training session. I was just pounding. But I dreamed of this return, literally prayed that it happened. What else to wish for?

- The contract with you has been signed for only six months ...

“It doesn't care about me now.” He is signed. And I have six months to prove that I can give something "Liverpool". I know that if everything works out, the leadership of the club and Rafael Benitest will meet with me and discuss the terms of another agreement designed for a longer period. So it all depends on me. And I intend to justify the trust of these people.

As for Rafael Benites himself, he believes in Fauler. "Robbie must be seriously working on his physical condition. He is not the easiest person, but over the years he became wiser and more disciplined. Even in his current state, he is able to help Liverpool go to a new level."
