Liverpool's next Premier League move outlined as true Jurgen Klopp role emerges

Liverpool's assistant manager Pep Lijnders has outlined the Reds' next step and why Jurgen Klopp is so integral to the club's success.

Despite being two wins from the finish, any title Premier League title celebrations are on hold with football currently on hiatus due to the coronavirus crisis.

When asked about how training from home is working, Lijnders told Liverpool's official website: "Right now, health and world cooperation is what counts, what’s most important.

"But you can’t deny that we can’t wait to start again when the time is right and it is safe to do so - we want to finish and finish in our style, we want to entertain the people, which is the first and most important task in the world of football. That’s our job.

"For the last two years, we have fought each day on an incredible level, so this work ethic is continuing even from home."

Lijnders, who was captured leading a yoga session with the squad via video link earlier this week, has also detailed the key role played by Klopp and how the German is enabling Liverpool to keep driving forward.

"We will - and we have to - make the next step, never forgetting why we came in this position," the coach added.

"Other teams will improve and are improving. The way to keep beating them is training with more passion and ambition then they are doing, each single day, each minute of each session.

"Beat them in the week not at the weekend.

"In modern football, it doesn’t happen much anymore that you can keep a group of super pros together, especially after a successful period.

"Can we keep this passion? Yes! Can we keep this ambition? Yes! Can we keep this hunger for more? Yes! Why? Because of Jürgen."
