Honigstein: Reds will play as if there's no tomorrow
Liverpool's players will be asked to 'play as if there's no tomorrow' by new manager Jürgen Klopp, according to German football journalist Raphael Honigstein.
The charismatic new Reds boss' appointment at Anfield has made waves back in his homeland, where he rose to prominence with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, guiding the latter to two Bundesliga titles and the Champions League final.
Honigstein, who followed his countryman's fascinating journey closely, believes the 'all or nothing' mantra Klopp lives by was key to his success at Westfalenstadion.
And he now expects Liverpool's players to be asked to emulate that high-intensity, focused approach to their football.
"He doesn't do half measures, he's all about all or nothing," he told LFCTV.
"He will stress again to his players, 'do not think about the next game only think about this game', play as if there's no tomorrow.
"He's not really someone who thinks, 'where will I be in two years time?', 'where will I be at the end of the season?', he will just try to focus on the matter at hand and trying to perform every single game.
"That's something that worked really well at Dortmund; when they were running away with the league and everyone was getting really nervous, he managed to keep calm and say 'this is just another game, think about the next game, don't think about the table'.
"[He wants them] to just think about performing - if you perform to your ability the result will come as a consequence."
Honigstein also opined that the squad will be asked to think more than they perhaps ever have by their new boss.
"He will make players think," he added.
"That's not to be underestimated, if you give somebody food for thought and stimulate the synapses, as he likes to say, that can maybe make your legs work a little bit better as well!"
