Liverpool star Luis Díaz has insisted they need to improve and focus on the future rather than the heavy defeat to Napoli.

The Reds started their Champions League campaign in the worst possible manner last night with a 4-1 defeat to Napoli away from home.

It was a chastening evening for Jurgen Klopp and his side, who were on the back foot from minute one and at times completely outplayed by their Serie A counterparts.

The performance was the latest in a series of disappointing displays from Liverpool at the beginning of this campaign, with them very much not at the levels they have set in recent years.

There is a clear need for improvement and Klopp has already hinted his side may need to reinvent themselves to get back on track.

That’s not a sentiment completely shared by Díaz, but he has insisted Liverpool need to improve if they are to turn things around.

“The goal I scored was worthless, it would have been important if it helped the team more,” Gol Caracol report him saying.

“We have to improve and look at what is being done for what is coming, which is much more important. We are in this together and I know that this will change.

“After I scored the goal, I felt much better emotionally, and it was easier. I had that confidence, that desire to get the team going and try to turn the result around, but it was complicated because they were already many goals ahead.”
