"Liverpool have never won the Club World Championship and it would give us real kudos if we could add the world crown to our European title," said the popular defender.
"Winning the tournament would help our standing in world football. It would be historic to see the words: Liverpool, Champions of the World.
"At the end of my career, when I look back on all the things I have won, being a world champion would be pretty special. What a great thing to put on your CV."
