Klopp wants Reds to stay hungry
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has called for his players to "stay greedy" as they look to build on their Champions League success from last season.
The Reds managed to put the disappointment of just missing out on the Premier League title to lift the Champions League trophy with victory over Tottenham in the final.
With the Reds now preparing for Wednesday's Super Cup final with Europa League winners Chelsea, Klopp is determined to maintain the hunger in his squad for trophies.
He told uefa.com: "Stay greedy. That's very important - I have no doubt about that, but it's clear that we have to do that.
"After the (Champions League) final we had about four weeks where everybody was (patting us on the back) and it was brilliant wherever we went.
"It's just nice, but in a different world things like this can soften you and it can take the power out of you a bit. We are not like this, but it's a fact that it could happen.
"We only have to do the same again, and with a couple of things we maybe didn't do too well, we have to do better.
"Knowing that something works out helps you to believe that it'll work out again, 100 per cent.
"That helps when I try to convince the boys that (anything is) possible. Thank God I'm not the only one in the dressing room who thinks that these things are possible, and that helps a lot."
Liverpool are 4/7 to win, 3/1 to draw and 9/2 to lose to Chelsea in the Super Cup.
