Jürgen Klopp detailed his positive mood ahead of 2021-22 as he outlined Liverpool's objectives and plans for their training camp in Austria.
The Reds manager was counting down the days for his squad to reconvene and begin their preparations for the next campaign, which they did on Monday as they arrived at Salzburg.
Klopp, his staff and the players will now remain together for an extended period over the coming weeks as they lay the foundations for the 10 months of competitive football to come.
Their stay in Austria includes four confirmed friendly fixtures: 30-minute mini-games against FC Wacker Innsbruck and VfB Stuttgart on July 20, an hour-long clash with FSV Mainz 05 three days later, and then a full 90 versus Hertha BSC.
