Divock Origi has revealed the secret behind his recent goalscoring form: ‘Working, working, working.’

The Belgian has broken the deadlock in each of Liverpool’s last two games, setting the Reds on their way to 2-0 victories over both Sunderland and Leeds United by striking at the Kop end with around a quarter of an hour remaining.

The consistently superb performances of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane have meant Origi has had to bide his time this season, but the ankle injury sustained by Coutinho during the win over Sunderland gave the striker a chance to impress.

It’s fair to say Origi has snatched his opportunity with both hands, with the 21-year-old’s attitude at Melwood also earning the praise of Jürgen Klopp.

Before the EFL Cup quarter-final against Leeds, Klopp said there is ‘no alternative to being patient’ for those players not in his team - a view Origi subscribes to.

“I’ve a very big passion for football and I never give up,” he said.

“When you show that, you have the qualities and you try to learn. Of course I’m a believer in God and everyone has his ways, but you can’t just coach yourself everything.

“I’m very happy that I’m here. I know this is a very big club and there is pressure but you try to make the best of it. You have to cope with it by working, working, working. That makes you calm and confident.

“When you know that you have worked hard and gave it your all there is nothing more that you can do. When you relax a little then you have regrets.

“From the moment I came here I’ve never had regrets and that is one thing that makes me calm.”

Origi went on to insist that the strong team ethic within the Liverpool squad will be crucial if the Reds are to enjoy a successful season.

“You come here and you want to play every game,” the No.27 added.

“You want to enjoy yourself. Your life is football. Your first story was with a ball.

“The only thing you think about is playing but you have to respect the choices of the coach.

“I always put the team first and for me it was important to use every situation to learn and make steps. When the team needs you, when the manager needs you, you are there.

“Eventually that is how we help each other and that is how you achieve great things.

“I hope that I will continue to be in good form so that we can all do something well this season.”
