Southampton manager Ronald Koeman thinks "the best medicine for the confidence is winning" as his side look to bounce back from two English Premier League defeats when they face Liverpool in the English League Cup quarter-finals at St. Mary's

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ronald Koeman, Southampton manager (Q: How important is this game and getting a cup run?)

"It's very important, because we have as a Southampton team, we have two opportunities to win a title. One is the FA Cup and the second one is the Capital One Cup. We don't win the Premier League and it's very important. First about the competition, we'd like to reach the semi-final and second after the two defeats the best way to get back full of confidence is winning and that is about tomorrow."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ronald Koeman, Southampton manager (Q: Will it be awkward for Sammy Lee?)

"Ah for Sammy it is a special day of course. He has a lot of friends in Liverpool, he's from Liverpool, he played for Liverpool, but he is so involved in Southampton now that he can part all that feelings away from the pitch."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ronald Koeman, Southampton manager (Q: Do you think that Jurgen Klopp can restore Liverpool to glory and how much admiration do you have his career so far?)

"No I think admiration is not a good word. I think respect is the best word for him, because he had a great time in (Borussia) Dortmund, he is an experienced coach and he gets the challenge to manage Liverpool, that's a big challenge and the future will tell us if he's the right person. It looks positive at the moment, but football can change, but he knows."
