Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will continue to embrace his Liverpool players as he looks to spread the love at Anfield this season.
The German, so often animated on the touchline, has been known to run onto the pitch to hug all of his players following a victory.
He forgot to shake hands with Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte as he did just that on Friday following Liverpool's 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge, and Klopp will keep up the routine to show his players just how much he appreciates their efforts.
"I enjoy it more," he said, when asked about the importance of hugging his players.
"I'm really demanding to be honest, and I really want a lot of them. When you can really see how they fight, with the last drop of fuel in their machine ... [hugging them is] is the most easy thing to do.
"That's what makes it for them more enjoyable. Now, having something like this in the dressing room and seeing them there all smiling ... that's really nice."
Asked if he was feeling the love at Liverpool, Klopp replied: "All good, all good. We are together, and we want to go this way together.
"The more we believe in our way, the more likely it is we can go through whatever it will lead us to. I have no idea, but I think it makes football much more enjoyable when you really feel this togetherness because we are often enough alone. I love this really."
An impressive start to the season by Liverpool - including win a 4-3 opening day win at Arsenal and a 1-1 draw with Tottenham - has seen them climb to fifth in the Premier League table.
But Klopp is guarding against complacency, calling on everyone at Liverpool to focus on proving themselves.
"We feel on a good way, but we have to prove it. We have to prove it every day, and that's our job," Klopp added.
"That's how it is ... it's deserved, all these points, spectacular football against Arsenal, really good organised against Tottenham and [against Chelsea] was a kind of mixture of these two games. It was good."
