NEWSWataru Endo on the “100%” squad mentality and midfield competition

Wataru Endo thinks that this season, competition for spots will make sure that no member of Liverpool’s team lets up.

The Reds defeated Brentford 3-0 last weekend to close out the current international break and move one point clear atop the Premier League standings. Jürgen Klopp’s team also won their Europa League group and advanced to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.
