“They'll want to keep going and keep improving because the hard bit now is continuing that consistency and intensity to keep going at the highest level, keep winning trophies,” he said.

“That's going to be a new challenge for us to cope with and I've got every confidence from us that we'll meet it.”

Henderson said manager Jurgen Klopp would help them maintain their focus.

“... We see the manager as being someone who would never let distractions get in the way of what we're trying to achieve,” Henderson added.
