Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool still don’t have league leaders on their toes despite win over Leicester City in the Premier League.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has stated that they still don’t have league leaders Manchester City on their toes yet.
The Reds defeated Leicester City last night in the Premier League as Jota’s goals was enough to secure three points for Klopp side.
The victory sees Liverpool go nine points behind Pep Guardiola’s side at the top of the Premier League while having a game in hand, but Klopp does not think the gap is enough to trouble the reigning champions.
“I am not sure we’re in a position to get them on their toes, to be honest,” he said. “Actually, we have no chance to catch them, but it doesn’t mean we won’t play the best possible season for us.
“First and foremost, we have to win our football games and this club is massive. Since I’m here, I can’t remember a game we lost and everyone said ‘yeah, we can lose that game’, so it’s always the same situation.
“There’s a game, we put on the shirts and we have to win it. It doesn’t work out all the time, but thankfully it’s happened a couple of times.
“It was really important tonight for us to win because there’s not only Man City to catch or whatever, there are lots of teams behind us who want to get closer and that’s a very important task as well.
“I don’t think they smell our breath already, but we just try to win football games.”
