Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits he's been floored by manager Jurgen Klopp's resignation.
Klopp will leave Anfield at the end of the season.
"The manager means so much for us, to me, to the club," said Van Dijk.
"But he made the decision for him and his family. It was always going to be a tough one and it was definitely the case.
"He told us in private of course and all of us were together. It's a hard one to take but our mindset is to focus on business. We have a lot of targets still to achieve this year and why not finish the season on a high and together with celebrations for the boss as well?"
The 32 year-old continued: "We all want to achieve so much and that mindset was already there since pre-season and that doesn't change.
"It [Klopp's decision] will maybe even give you an extra boost to do that extra or maybe enjoy it a little bit more together and make the last part of the season - the last bit of the manager's time at the club - the best time he's ever had.
"That's what we strive for and that's why it's business as usual."
