Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool’s desire to win trophies is “immense”, as they look to conquer the English game.
It has been a stunning 2019 for the Reds, who not only won the Champions League, but also the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
On top of that, Klopp’s men sit 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League, making them overriding favourites to win a first title since 1990.
A new-found winning mentality has been instilled, as Liverpool look to usurp Manchester City as the greatest club in the land.
Speaking to ESPN, Klopp outlined how hungry his side are to keep winning silverware:
Is it greed? I’m not sure. It’s like this desire you want to have trophies. I don’t think it’s real greed.
We have improved our opportunities obviously with different things, with the players we brought in and to work together for a while of course with more experience. Stuff like this.
Getting used to different situations more and more [is helpful too]. You know a defeat is a defeat, but if you learn, it still makes sense, like the Champions League final [defeat to Real Madrid] the year before, when [Liverpool] lost that.
It’s not that we really learned something from the final, but the way to the final or the way to the next final, the experience for me before helped us a lot.
I really think our desire is immense. It’s big, it’s massive to win more trophies. If it’s greed, I don’t know, but yeah. Who cares?

Everything that Liverpool have achieved is down to Klopp, who has transformed the club since arriving as manager.
For a while, he was labelled a ‘bottler’ for losing several finals, but that nonsensical opinion has now been made to look foolish.
Klopp is a born winner and he can mastermind one of the greatest periods in Liverpool’s history in the coming years.
