00:00 So Trenton, welcome back home I suppose, are you glad to be here?
00:04 I'm glad to be back home and hopefully in the next few days I'll be relaxing and happy to be here for the 4 Cup today.
00:09 Yeah, and tell us a wee bit about the 4 Cup set of means to you because it really is a great platform isn't it for you footballers?
00:15 It's like a platform for all the young players to go and enjoy themselves and have a few competitive games to try and win a tournament and try and express themselves.
00:23 And how's things going for yourself over Liverpool? It's been a whirlwind couple of years for you hasn't it?
00:28 Things are going well, just trying to stay grounded and don't really think about much stuff that's happening and just take it game by game and keep going and try and do my best.
00:36 And you're scoring goals, you're playing up the age groups as well too, how's that experience been?
00:41 Playing with older players, it's really going to stand for you isn't it?
00:46 I think playing with older players is only going to help yourself because when you get the opportunity to do it, just try and express yourself because playing with better players also makes you a better player.
00:55 You have that experience training with a first team as well too, how was that? Playing with guys that you really look up to, like your heroes I suppose?
01:06 It was serene but any time I get the chance to just try and express myself and show what I can do but any time I get the chance to do it, it's great.
01:13 And your ambitions for the future, obviously it's your dream isn't it to play for the first team at some point but stay grounded?
01:20 It's just staying grounded but obviously my dream would be to play for the first team at some point.
01:25 I got most of the boys in that academy's dream so we all just try and work hard for it every day and we'll see what happens.
