Praise for Simon Mignolet's professionalism is just an added bonus to the Liverpool goalkeeper, who insists he will always do what is necessary for the good of the team.
Mignolet was back-up to Alisson Becker last term as the Reds achieved 97 points in the Premier League and went on to clinch Champions League glory in Madrid.
The Belgium international was consistently credited by manager Jürgen Klopp and his teammates for the role he fulfilled in pushing Alisson and maintaining a high level of competition in training.
Following Sunday’s friendly at Bradford City, Klopp outlined the intention for Mignolet to remain with the club for 2019-20 – his seventh season here since joining from Sunderland.
