Pep Ljinders says Liverpool's pursuit of Club World Cup glory won't distract them from their Carabao Cup clash with Aston Villa.
The Reds face Villa in the quarter-finals less than 24 hours before travelling to Qatar for the semi-final of the Club World Cup.
"It is important with a 'culture of victory' because each prize we can win is important, so we try to attack each competition we play," Ljinders says in December's edition of the Liverpool FC official magazine.
"But, for me, the most important thing is the chance to show, in a different part of the world, our identity and our philosophy and a real spirit of initiative.
"In a perfect world people should look forward to seeing us play. As regards [to] changing between England and Qatar, we already have the people in charge who are preparing to make this process as smooth as possible.
"We have to ignore what's beyond our control whatever the circumstances. This is what we always try to do, but in these periods, it will be even more the case."
He added: "It would be incredible to become champions of the world.
"Not many big teams get this chance. It's a mark, a stamp of a strong process over many years.
"We have to think about the semi-final first, it's the first step and the only one that counts at the moment.
"We will show we care and we will show what we want to achieve. We will fight for a result and make it an intense game from out side.
"It's different when you come back as the winning team, that's for sure!
"For me, the most important aspect is to keep the team fresh during this period, knowing that what puts us above the rest is our mentality. We will always focus and what we can control."
