Liverpool will 'fight for everything this season


Jurgen Klopp watches on from the technical area

Jurgen Klopp argued Liverpool are ready to ‘fight for everything this season’ after seeing his team overrun Barcelona to claim an emphatic 4-0 International Champions Cup victory at Wembley.

In front of the second-highest crowd ever to attend the new Wembley, Liverpool cruised to the win against the Spanish champions with goals from Sadio Mane, Divock Origi, Marko Grujic and an own goal by former Anfield midfielder Javier Mascherano.

And with Liverpool not distracted by European competition after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Klopp claimed his team can fight for the title after this result.

"We shall fight for everything this season,” Klopp said. “We need to be ready. It’s not a case of pressure, we are just ambitious, but everyone else is ambitious too. So it will be an interesting league we have to fight and I know we will be ready, but I don't know where we will finish.”

Klopp, who revealed James Milner would undergo a scan on heel injury which saw him limp out of the game in the first-half, admitted that beating Barcelona was a major boost for his team psychologically.

But the Germany refused to suggest that the success placed Liverpool ahead of Barcelona in terms of quality.

Nigeria's weightlifter Maryam Usman has alleged that Nigeria is not ready to win Olympic medals. In her words: ''I am proud to have represented my country Nigeria and also proud to have represented my family.'' ''Even though I may not have really done what I planned to do. I appreciate God for making me go through the competition injury-free.'' ''So, that I think is the ultimate; I really thank God. The competition was fine. I really don’t talk about it because it makes me so emotional''.'' Reacting to claims that Nigerian athletes do well when they prepare well, Usman said ''I disagree with that. This is an event people have been preparing for, for four years. You just can’t jump in within a month and half to the Games thinking you can beat those who have been training for more than four years. It’s just not possible; let’s not even think about it.'' The athlete also disclosed "After my event I w...

Olabinwonu, an administrative officer of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Igbogbo, Ikorodu, was arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad while trying to sell a Nissan Sentra, 2015 model.
