Wijnaldum wowed by Liverpool’s gung-ho approach

Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum admits he has never before encountered the level of positivity Jurgen Klopp has asked Liverpool to play with this term.

The Reds have put four goals past both Arsenal and Leicester City already in the Premier League, while they hit Championship side Burton Albion for five in the EFL Cup.

Though Wijnaldum, 25, is still to open his account since a summer £25million move from Newcastle United, he is sure the chances will quickly fall at his feet with Liverpool’s attack red-hot.

“In the teams that I played for in Holland, we didn’t have that many players who attack,” said the former PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord star.

“Sometimes we attack with six or seven players and that’s a lot. I had that with only one team in Holland – PSV in my first season.

“The years after and before, the number of players we attacked with was fewer, four or sometimes five, but not six or seven.

“I’m searching for goals because if you get used to scoring goals, you’re going to have a hunger and be greedy to score goals from midfield.

“But you must also think about what you have to do to help my team-mates and my team.”
