Hyypia hoping for glory

"I am very positive we can do it because our team spirit is really something you can call our secret weapon," the Liverpool skipper told the club's official site.

"We will be much better and much stronger. It was just a chain of bad luck which harmed us last season. Injuries stopped us challenging at the top.

"But we still kept the great Liverpool spirit in the team, and we will carry that on into next season. I guarantee we will be very hard to beat."
