Dejan Lovren: 'Jurgen Klopp has added winning mentality'

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has suggested that Jurgen Klopp has instilled a "winning mentality" amongst the squad since becoming manager last month.

The Reds secured a third successive win in all competitions on Sunday as they edged past Swansea City 1-0 at Anfield.

Lovren has stated that he is pleased with the way that the team ground out the win against their Welsh opponents.

"It was a tough game, especially playing against the wind," Lovren told Liverpool's official website. "It wasn't so easy but at the end the most important thing is that we got the three points.

"We're moving higher in the table. It was a great week for us – winning against Manchester City, Bordeaux and now this one. We just need to keep working hard and to be patient. We expected a tough game against an opponent having problems. It was a deserved win.

"We showed our quality in defence and up front also. The most important thing is to keep the winning mentality. We're doing a great job all together and we can be proud."

Liverpool take on Southampton in the quarter-finals of the League Cup on Wednesday.
