"Liverpool" captain Jordan Henderson does not speculate on the UEFA Champions League winner in advance.
The "Reds" start the season in an unusual position - they are the current European champions. Only one team has successfully defended the title in the Champions League - Madrid's "Real".
Asked if he sees his team as favorites to repeat last season's success, J. Henderson replied: "I think it's too early to talk about such things."
"We started the season really well and hope we can continue that. We still feel where we can improve and be better. We will try to do that before 'Napoli'. We are ready to give everything so that the start of the tournament is successful," the footballer said.
"Throughout my time at Liverpool, I have felt that everyone wants to beat us, so this season will be no exception. Like every team, we want to beat everyone we play against.
Our idea remains the same - we always want to give 100% in every match. We know that we will have a very tough test against 'Napoli'. They are a great team.
We need to focus only on ourselves. If we show the level we are used to, I think we will have a good chance of winning", added the team captain.
