(Video) Professional Mignolet admits he tries his utmost “because that’s what I’m paid for”

Posted by

The future of Simon Mignolet has been a moot point for some time now since losing his place as the Reds No. 1 ‘keeper.

First to Loris Karius, then, more acceptably, to Champions League-winning, triple Golden Gloved, Copa América victor, Alisson Becker.

That said, the 31-year-old Belgian has always upheld a dedicated professionalism and strived to work for the greater good of Jürgen Klopp’s side (a quality not unnoticed by James Milner).

Now, during pre-season, Mignolet holds senior status as the Reds only established ‘keeper out in the United States.

That was a fact he was questioned about during an interview, which ranged from the minutiae of team travelling to the admission of being a kind of ‘career ‘keeper,’ that is to say, winning trophies, “is why you’re paid to be a football player and that’s what your job is, so that’s what I try to do.”

“I try to do my best in the best way I can, because that’s what I’m paid for and that’s what my job is, and that’s what I always will do.”
