    Jurgen Klopp says he wants his Liverpool team to "stay greedy" as they look to build on last season's Champions League triumph.

    Liverpool were pipped to the Premier League title by Manchester City won their sixth European Cup against Tottenham in June, when Madrid was painted red for a a few days.

    And Klopp, whose side started with a 4-1 win over Norwich, now wants to go one better.

    "After the (Champions League) final we had about four weeks where everybody was (patting us on the back) and it was brilliant wherever we went," he told uefa.com.

    "It's just nice, but in a different world things like this can soften you and it can take the power out of you a bit. We are not like this, but it's a fact that it could happen.

    "Stay greedy. That's very important - I have no doubt about that, but it's clear that we have to do that. We only have to do the same again, and with a couple of things we maybe didn't do too well."
