Kostas Tsimikas believes Liverpool can win big this season.
The Reds sit top of the Premier League with an eight-point lead over Nottingham Forest and a game in hand leaving them one game early for the half-way mark of the season. They are as good as the last 16 of the Champions League and are top of the table in the revamped competition with two games to go.
While they have a Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham next month and start their FA Cup campaign at home to Accrington Stanley. It's fair to say that new boss Arne Slot is flying. As they prepare for the second half of the season and welcome Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday, Tsimikas is dreaming big.
He said: “I'm 100 percent sure I want to win everything. I think this team can win everything, so every competition ahead of us is clear to us: we have to win every match we have ahead of us and [try] to win every match.
“We set our goals from the start of the season and all we have to do is exactly that: go out and show the world that we are good players, that we play fantastic football and win football matches.”
Both Manchester United and City have won the Premier League Treble, the FA Cup and the European Cup, but no team in England has ever won all four. It's still a long way from becoming a reality, with so many major hurdles to overcome as games come out quickly and rapidly in the new year.
But if Mo Salah can maintain his stunning form, anything is possible for the red-hot Reds. He scored another goal and two assists in Sunday's win over West Ham. That is now eight seasons in a row in which the Egyptian scored twenty goals in a season. He also has 17 assists, all from 26 appearances.
Tsimikas, who is good friends with Salah, believes the winger is trying to prove to everyone that he is the best player in the world.
“I see him getting hungrier for the Premier League and every competition,” said the Greek defender. “I think he wants to show everyone that he is the best footballer in the world right now.
“For me personally, yes. The things he does on the pitch are incredible, the numbers he puts in every game, and especially on the training pitch with all the work he puts in. He deserves everything and I'm very happy for him.'
