Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool don't need Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi

Jurgen Klopp is confident in the potential of the Liverpool players

JURGEN KLOPP insists he believes in the "potential" of his Liverpool players and claims they don't need a "dream" signing like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

 

The German was confirmed as the new Reds manager last night and has trained his sights on his new stars.

The 48-year-old says he is focused on working with the players at his disposal and is already looking forward to his first match against Spurs on October 17.

"I'm here because I believe the potential of the team. I see the team and think everything is good," he told LFC TV.

"At this moment we're not the best team in the world, but who cares? 

 

"We want to be the best team in the world. We have some problems and we have to solve them.

"We have speed and technical ability. The first game is Tottenham and we have to make a team for this game.

 

"Now we start work. I'm not a dream man, I don't want to have Cristiano or Lionel and all these players in one team. 

"I want these guys [the current squad], it was a decision for these guys. Now we start working."
