Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is confident new leaders from his squad.
With James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and soon Fabinho to depart, Klopp must consider a new leadership group.
Klopp said from Singapore: "I will decide, yeah. I think it is a logical group and there's no need for any kind of vote. It's a logical group and these boys have to step up. They were already there before; it's not just that the team was led by Millie and Hendo. They were important characters, absolutely, but without the others it wouldn't have worked out. There is just now two missing and that's all, pretty much.
"Nobody has to be the next James Milner, nobody has to be the next Jordan Henderson. They all can be themselves and that gives us a real chance for a new and fresh development. That's exactly what you need. It's always [the case] when you have big changes: first people want changes, then you have the changes and then everybody is worrying about the changes.
"The problem with changes is you never know beforehand if it will work out, but we are really optimistic about it. That's the nature of change, by the way. We are really optimistic about it and excited as well.
"My main impression I get so far in our sessions [is] the boys are really up for it and they really mean business. I like it a lot when we have games and are playing them, but [we have] slightly tired legs and then conceding a couple of goals, it's all logical."
