Jurgen Klopp does not believe that Liverpool’s exploits to win the title last season will give them an advantage until the final stages, but more important is the team’s continued desire to win.
In previous title-challenged seasons, allegations against the Reds that didn’t complete the job sometimes centered on a lack of experience in the team, though strangely that didn’t seem to have any impact as we dominated the league last season.
Perhaps it was the fact that Liverpool left the competition in the dust so early in 19/20 that such experience in close season finishes did not enter the equation, but this year it looks like it will be a lot tighter. in nature.
When asked if the success of the last period will be an advantage for the Reds to retain the trophy, Jurgen Klopp said that it is certainly not a factor at the moment, and that it could only be relevant in the final weeks of the season, if it is. That it is.
“We are not thinking of challenging the title at all at this time. I know it’s a bit boring, but it’s the truth, we’re just trying to make sure we’re as competitive as possible in the next game, ”he said.
“I don’t know about the advantages: if you are a complete surprise and the best in April, everyone would say ‘ok, maybe with a little more experience you could make it to the end’, but even then, it is the end of April [and] we are not there now.
“If we are still at the top, then we can maybe We speak differently, but if we are only two or three points ahead, it doesn’t make sense anyway.
“The only advantage you can get is on the field in the specific game, nothing more.”
However, the Reds have one area in which they have proven to be more equipped than other teams for trophies: their mindset.
It’s an area that Klopp has worked on for years with the Reds and he still sees a lot of drive and determination in the team to accomplish much more.
“Being successful in the past can be a different kind of influence: you’ve had enough, you want more, this kind of thing. Surely my kids still didn’t have enough and want more, but that doesn’t make it more likely.
“We create a base, we have to create a lot more to use in the end.”
Evidence of that fierce insistence to keep winning more can be seen in the Reds’ long, long unbeaten streak at Anfield in the league, which we hope to make 67 unbeaten with a win over West Brom on Sunday.
