Let’s be honest, you just don’t achieve half of what Liverpool have under Jurgen Klopp unless there’s an enormous sense of in-squad unity.
Klopp’s side won a first-ever Premier League title last month, adding to their Champions League success of 13 months earlier.
Under the German, there’s such a strong bond which unites the Liverpool lads and that was evident at Wembley on Saturday evening.
The Reds lost 5-4 to Arsenal on penalties in the Community Shield yesterday and Rhian Brewster was the player who fluffed his lines for the Anfield outfit.
But the second Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored to confirm the Gunners’ vitory, 20-year-old Brewster was consoled by his team-mates.
The young hitman looked to the sky and winced once Aubameyang stroked home, but Curtis Jones kissed him on the cheek, Virgil van Dijk patted him on the back and Andy Robertson offered some words.
Here’s how Liverpool fans reacted to seeing the touching gesture:
Yes, it was only the Community Shield, but you get the feeling that the Liverpool players would’ve reacted the same even had Brewster missed the penalty during a shootout in a Champions League final.
There’s just something very special about the spirit in this team and even if Manchester City sign Lionel Messi, it’ll be hard to stop the Merseysiders from defending their title.
