Kenny welcomes NextGen tournament
Kenny Dalglish is looking forward to seeing the start of the NextGen Series at Anfield tonight. The NextGen Series is a sort of Under 19's European Cup and the Reds play their opening group game at Anfield against Portugese side Sporting Lisbon tonight. German team Wolfsburg and Norwegian side Molde are the other teams in the group. "It's a fantastic tournament and we're privileged to be part and parcel of it," Dalglish told the club's official website. "You don't qualify for it, you get invited to play in it, so it tells you the high regard Liverpool have in Europe when we are invited to play in it and we are really looking forward to seeing how it develops. "The quality I'm sure is going to be very high so we'll need to step up to the mark and do our best to put on a good show. "I think it's a great education for the players. "With the first game being at Anfield it's fantastic for the supporters to go and watch the kids play. "They know these boys did very well last year in the Youth Cup so I'm sure they are looking forward to seeing them play this season a year older." Tickets for tonight's game cost £5 adults, £2 concessions and the game will be live on LFCTV from 6:30pm.
