DBasia.news – Liverpool left back, Andy Robertson believes Jurgen Klopp has motivated his team with a desire to win as many trophies as possible.
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp spoke to his team last summer after they regrouped as Champions League champions after defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the final round.
Since then the Reds have won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup and finally ended their 30-year wait to win the English League championship trophy.
Liverpool defender, Andy Robertson has explained the message Klopp gave to his team which helped push them to win the English League title. “We know we are good enough to win the English League, so we bring confidence from last season to this season,” Robertson said.
“But this is the Premier League and Manchester City is one of the greatest and most dominant champions ever. “So you know to be able to surpass them at the end of the season, you have to be near perfect,” stated the 26-year-old Scottish left-back.
“Our motivation is to continue to win trophies after winning the Champions League in Madrid. The coach told the players in pre-season, ‘Let’s win a lot of trophies together so we can’t remember which one we’ve won’. I listened to that and thought: ‘Yes, I like that’. “
Robertson added: “So it’s not just about losing to Manchester City in the Premier League last season, it’s about feeling the victory again as we experienced before in the Champions League final in Madrid, making the supporters happy and proud again.”
“It is a feeling that makes you addicted and you have watched all season, by winning the Super Cup and Club World Cup and now the league title, we listened to what the manager said in the pre-season.”
