For decades, the red part of Merseyside entered each new season with one goal; to get back to the sensible thing about English football.Gerard Houllier, Rafael Benitez and Brendan Rodgers came here together, but when the FA Cups, Champions League and countless talented footballers arrived and left, a trophy escaped.Exciting and talented groups fell, lacking an essential element.
Then, in 2015, Jurgen Klopp arrived in Merseyside with the promise of turning skeptics into believers, temporarily replacing temperament at Anfield, building a team capable of competing with the best, but after approaching the name in 2018/19, many feared they had missed their chance.Klopp had other ideas.
Liverpool had won their last nine games last season and maintained that speed in the new campaign, winning 26 in their first 27 league games of 2019/20.They had a season start record, unmatched in one of the most five sensible European leagues, 22 issues ahead of the field.They played as a cohesive unit, culminating in 4 years at the helm of Klopp.Their strikers were as prolific as they had been, but the team’s relentless attitude and unmatched intensity kept them away from others.
But it wasn’t entirely normal. They made early departures from the League Cup and the FA Cup; They were taken out of the Champions League in the 16-game circular and were even threatened with canceling the Premier League season at some point.But all this in circles, their concentration did not give way and Liverpool finished the first (with seven games to go) and the last (confirmed at the end of June) in The Final Premier League.Al history, finished one point below Manchester City’s record 100-point season but, despite a slight drop after the reboot , they tried the interruption of the pandemic It is said that defining a name is more complicated than winning one and the determination shown last season will put them in a smart position.
Not so much. Of course, Klopp made no radical adjustments to a team that has racked up 196 problems over the past two seasons.Last summer, many questioned Liverpool’s inability to particularly strengthen the team, but allowed them to maintain their momentum and the lion cub waits longer.Klopp liked to remain a relatively strong player organization and the monetary implications of the pandemic have made Liverpool even more cautious in the moving market.
Instead, we’ll see greater opportunities for marginal players like Takumi Minamino, who scored his first goal in Liverpool last week, and Naby Keita, who caught his eye after the blockade.Young Curtis Jones and Neco Williams will also be the highlights.Both performed well when given the chance towards the end of last season and were recently rewarded with new five-year contracts with the club.
Having lifted the Champions League, Club World Cup and Premier League in the past 18 months, Klopp may be forgiven for thinking there are no more people to conquer, but after revealing that he did not aim to extend beyond his existing contract, Liverpool’s boss still has 4 years to cement his legacy and will prepare his troops for a high-octane campaign.
Improvements in cup competitions will be on the agenda, especially in domestic competitions where Klopp fought his time in England.They do not have the most internal numbers, but if they should be considered as a true elite team, as they have done it each and every one.every right to be must compete on all fronts in a coherent manner.
City controlled two consecutive seasons through more than 95 problems before falling dramatically and Liverpool hope to do better with their complicated third album. Liverpool’s defence force, a domain in which they even surpass a Manchester City summit, saves you a massive drop, but they will have many paintings to make to protect their name by strengthening their rivals around them.
Jurgen Klopp: “Chelsea seems clearly ambitious in the moving market; United will do things and they were already smart last year; City, everybody thinks it’s going to do.That’s the way it is. Then you still have to find a way to reproduce and everyone has the same possibilities.This is not the number of players who will sign them all, in the end they have to play with 11 and make 3 changes.
“At a time when you play as opposed to all those other teams, you have to be in a position to fight and be in a position to win.That’s pretty much what we’ve done in the two-and-a-half years, three years.”
Craig Hannan of The Anfield Wrap, Liverpool FC’s podcast and winner:
“We have noticed the team’s ability to dust off and go and 2020/21 will be the real character control within the team.The motivation will be the opportunity to win it with the enthusiasts (hopefully) in the stadium and the fact that it would be number 20, matching the number of United names.This football team has not yet let us down and winning it twice in a row would be their greatest achievement to date.
“This team has to deserve credit for its quality, it is the most productive Liverpool I have ever seen in my life and therefore we need as many trophies as imaginable during this period.With Jurgen Klopp at the club, you get the impression that everything is imaginable.”.
