LIVERPOOL midfielder Lucas Leiva has took to the club’s official website to urge the supporters to remain optimistic after Liverpool maintained their 100% start to the season by beating Manchester United on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have won all three of their opening Premiership games without conceding a single goal, as well as defeating Notts County 4-2 in the Capital One Cup.
The team, however, have not got ahead of themselves and both the players and Rodgers himself have warned that there is still a lot of work to be done to maintain this fantastic record.
Despite this, Lucas has admitted that he believes the fans have a right to celebrate Liverpool’s progress, the Brazilian said:
“I don’t think it’s dangerous for the fans to get a bit carried away after a win like this – they should celebrate. It’s a great start. We can’t deny that. That’s the way we wanted to start.
“But for the players, we need to keep our calm and keep our focus as it’s a long, long journey until the end of the season. For sure, it’s a great start and much better than last season. We just need to keep our focus and try to play every game like a final.
“There’s a greater belief among us now. We all believed previously, but now we have a stronger team.”
Liverpool currently sit top of the table with 9 points from 3 games, 2 points ahead of Chelsea as a result of the Blues’ goalless draw with Manchester United.
