After Thiago Alcantara signing, Liverpool boss Klopp says Reds must improve to stay a step ahead

Liverpool, who had a tough 4-3 victory over promoted Leeds United to start the new campaign, bolstered their squad on Thursday with an agreement to sign Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich.

“It’s completely normal that we have to make another step because other teams will make other steps as well,” German Klopp told Sky Sports.

“It has nothing to do with being champions, we constantly try not to develop but to find solutions to the new challenges before we have the problems with them.

“But a lot of the good things we did, first and foremost we have to show again, so it’s not only about changing things it’s about finding the right approach and plan again for this season.”
