Liverpool captain Steve Gerrard has stated The Reds are not taking the World Club Championship in Japan lightly.The England international is keen to add more silverware to his ever-growing trophy cabinet and has no intention of travelling half way around the world to go down without a fight.
Gerrard realises it might be the only chance he gets to win a World Club champions medal and he is looking to bring the trophy to Anfield for the first time in the club's history.
"This is an important competition and we are not taking it lightly," explained Gerrard.
"When I look back at my career I want to look at my medals and it would be great to say I have got the lot.
"You never know what is going to happen and as players we might only get one crack at this tournament, so we have to make the most of it.
"To have the medal for being the best club side in the world would be something special. We are serious and want to win.
"I have been lucky in that I have won lots of trophies at Liverpool and if we can win in Japan then that would leave The Premiership and the World Cup for me to get."
