Tsimikas highlights lofty aspirations for Liverpool this season as the Merseysiders continue their impressive start to the season.
Tsimikas has said Liverpool are targeting a clean sweep of trophies under Arne Slot.
Liverpool set a club record of 11 wins from the first 12 games of a season on Wednesday when they defeated Leipzig in the Champions League, continuing their incredible run under their new head coach.
On Sunday, they will go to Arsenal, where a seventh straight road win would put them seven points ahead of their hosts.
“It’s too early to speak about [making a statement against Arsenal] but our goals at the start of the season, we said we wanted to win everything,” Tsimikas said. “We will go to Arsenal to play our football and to win the game.
“Last season, at the end, we destroyed everything after one bad result against Manchester United. In the next fixtures we were not the team we were before but we have tried to work game by game and every game is a final. We try to do what the manager is asking to win games.”
Prior to their dramatic cup quarterfinal elimination at Old Trafford, where United punished haphazard defending, Liverpool had plans to complete Jürgen Klopp’s reign with a quadruple. Under Slot, the club has kept seven clean sheets while giving up six goals, and Tsimikas thinks the progress has been mostly down to the head coach’s guidance.
The left-back said: “We defend all together. One of the goals of the new manager is he asks us to defend all together as a unit, as a team.
“We don’t want to concede. Everyone defends, everyone attacks and everyone wants to do even more. We’re hungry for more.
“I enjoy it very much [under Slot]. They work on every kind of detail and want you to improve. They are always there for you, even the manager and technical staff, to help you do the right stuff for the team. The things the manager wants from me, I am very happy to work with him.”
