RODOLFO BORRELL has warned his Liverpool youngsters not to underestimate Wolfsburg.

The Reds play their third NextGen Series match at Anfield tonight (7pm kick-off) against the winless German outfit.

Liverpool head into the fixture on a high after beating Norwegian side Molde 4-0 last week, earning their first win of the Champions League-style competition and moving up to second in the Group Two table.

Manager Borrell was delighted with Toni Silva’s double, and further strikes from Conor Coady and Raheem Sterling in their thumping victory, but the head coach says they cannot expect to breeze past Wolfsburg.

Although pointless and bottom of the standings, Borrell says Wolfsburg are sure to come out fighting and insists they played well in their last game, a 2-1 loss at leaders Sporting Lisbon.

A bumper crowd is expected tonight and tickets cost £5 adults or £2 concession and are available on the gate.

“This is going to be a tough season for us because we do have a very young side as everyone knows,” said Borrell

“We are facing in the reserve league teams who are a lot older than us and Wolfsburg have some experienced players in their squad.

“Wolfsburg have absolutely everything to play for. They might have lost their first two games but they played very well against Sporting Lisbon in their last game before they lost 2-1.

“We know last season they won everything at this level in Germany. They have had some players performing in their first team that will come to play against us. They are well organised and have quality.

“German sides feature usually quite big players and they are good at set-pieces.

“We must try to hold them and not concede from set pieces.

“It is going to be tough and a good test but we need to be ready and be confident after our performance against Molde.

“We must keep our philosophy of playing in the right way and try and be successful. If we can play like we know we can then that will be a key to this game.”

Borrell says the side’s spirit has been lifted following the win over Molde but reckons the thought of playing at Anfield again would have been enough to motivate the players.

“Winning is always important for the morale of the players and the squad so that was an important victory for us in Molde,” added the Spaniard.

“The win has also helped in training because everyone is happier and looking forward to this game.

“We put in a great performance overall and it was good to see us score four goals.

“Anfield is a magnificent stadium with a lot of history and it’s fantastic for us to play there once again.

“For our lads I know what it means to them to play at this stadium.

“ It’s an unbelievable experience for them and hopefully we can play our normal game.”
