Liverpool No2 Lijnders: Players here need to win Cups to be considered legends

Liverpool No2 Pep Lijnders says the squad need to win domestic cups if they're to be regarded as club legends.

While the majority might be Premier League, European and world champions with the club, he declared they're not 'proper Liverpool legends' yet.

"You have to watch one of our training sessions, that will take the greed (for trophies) question away because they train every time like it's a final," Lijnders said.

"They can make even a simple rondo very competitive. We have a squad full of personalities. We have a squad full of boys who still dream.

"Even James Milner, who is 35, still dreams of winning prizes. Of course there is an opportunity to reach the semi-final and we know this. If you want to be a proper Liverpool legend, you have to win national cups as well.

"We all know how big the FA Cup is and we want to win this cup as well. We don't look further than the next game though!"
