'We are not the world's best...yet' - Klopp calls on Liverpool to improve

  /  autty

Jurgen Klopp has dismissed claims that Liverpool have become the best team in the world and reinforced his demand for more collective improvement.

'This thing with 'the best team in the world' — I don't really get it,' said Klopp. 'It's nice when people say it. It's better than if they say you are the worst in the world, obviously. Usually, if people mention 'best team in the world', you think of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, stuff like this.

'The team we have is about attitude — go and go and go — mixed with really good football players. We are for sure more critical of our performances. (People) only see the results, which are exceptional — we don't see ourselves as the best in the world.

'On the one side, it's easier if players see you as that. If they see you are successful, it's easier to get into talks with players. But, on the other side, it's more difficult the better your team is because they ask questions like, 'where and when would I play?' We need players who want to be part of this.'
