Reds ready to conquer the world!

Liverpool have held their first training session in Japan for the World Club Championship and have found out who their first opponents will be. The Reds trained in Kawasaki, just south of Tokyo and held a press conference outlining their desire to win the Cup.

HI ... Gerrard arrives in Tokyo

After a 15 hour flight captain Steven Gerrard and defender Sami Hyypia admitted they were tired but by the time of their first game on Thursday they will be ready to go.

Their opponents on Thursday will be Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa, who saw off Australian side FC Sydney on Monday. Christian Bolanos scored the only goal of the game in the Tokyo Stadium.

Chief executive Rick Parry told the press "It's been a long wait but it is a privilege to be here. We are conscious of the fact that we have a huge fan base in Asia and we always feel the warmth of their welcome as we saw when we went to the Far East in 2001 and 2003. We are reinforcing links with our supporters but this is not a marketing trip to generate commercial revenues. It's about trying to win trophies and that's why we are here - to win another trophy."
