Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah warns: Our rivals will want to strike back

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is adamant they have the hunger to successfully defend their Premier League title next season.

Now having claimed his fourth major honour as a Red, the Egyptian is more than keen to continue the habit of adding to Liverpool's honours list.

"Great, a great feeling to win the Premier League with the club after 30 years," he told the BBC. "It's a dream come true.

"We need to keep the hunger for next season as well because next season is going to be more difficult than this one. Other teams will try to strike back again to win titles.

"But I think the hunger can drive us again to win another trophy and another one. Hopefully we can do that. We have to fight for that, that has to be the main target.

"I think the next season for myself, when I see the situation right now, it will be really difficult. I think more difficult than this one because the hunger when you win something – you win the Champions League, you win the Premier League – and when you win something it takes from your hunger.

"So the thing is, now we have to change that mentality. You have to find the point in your head that drives you forward and keep that hunger for next season and still after.

"I don't know why we can't win the Premier League two times or three times. It's only in our head. I think if you keep that hunger and we fight with all we have, it will be OK to do it next season, it will be possible."
