Klopp expects more competitive Premier League season

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, expects a more competitive Premier League next season.

The manager was quizzed on the methods he’ll employ to ensure his players can try to maintain such remarkable consistency.

“That’s why we said we will not try to defend it, we will try to attack the next one. That’s the truth,” Klopp replied.

“Then you don’t change at all your approach because that’s what we always did, and there’s no reason for changing it. You don’t keep a title forever, it’s always open for everybody so that means we don’t have really to think about it.

“The points tally is nothing, we didn’t think after 97 we will go above that – and we did it anyway. We didn’t think one day, maybe after lockdown when we finally won the league, then maybe people thought about it and realised it’s now really tricky to get all these points. There were a lot of points out there to get; we didn’t get them all but ended up anyway with 99, which is good. We really never thought about it, so we don’t need that as motivation.

“And we know it will be a difficult season and not because we were champions last year or something like that, just because football improvement, as long as you play, never stops. So, everybody can improve.

“Chelsea look pretty ambitious obviously in the transfer market; United will do some stuff and they were already good last year; City, everybody thinks they will do. That’s how it is. Then still you have to find a way of playing again and everybody has the same chance. It’s not how many players anybody will sign, in the end they have to play with 11 and make three changes.

“In the moments when you face all these different teams you have to be ready to fight and be ready to win. That’s what we did in the last two-and-a-half, three years pretty much.”
