In December, Jürgen Klopp’s Status was Cult as Liverpool Manager literally carved in stone – in a modern way. On the wall of a House in the Baltic area of town, and Klopp with a huge Graffiti was immortalized in Portrait.
To outsiders, it may seem amazing that a coach who has won with such a proud club such as Liverpool FC, so far, not a single title will pay homage on the streets of the port city. The work of art, but it is proof of a deep Conviction that the glorious old times will come back soon. In Liverpool, it is believed, and for good reason.
With six points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, the team of the German Coach is currently the leader of the Premier League. The top game this Thursday (21 clock/live on Dazn) comes just at the right time. Since then, Klopp’s Team is the reigning champion and the biggest title rivals: Manchester City.
Actually, it was the currently third-placed City, which was before the third season under coach Pep Guardiola as the championship favorite. However, hardly a team in Europe has shone in this season as Jürgen Klopp. Liverpool is unbeaten in the League and in 20 Games, only six points. The big dream, to be for the first Time since 1990 English champion, lives stronger than ever.
Klopp has a positive record against Guardiola
at the same time Guardiola after three low stands in the last five League games suddenly under pressure. Even now, he explained the game to the All-or-Nothing game. Either Guardiola wins the coaching duel with Klopp – or he can give up the defense of the title. “The distance,” says Guardiola. “We are, it’s over.”
a Total of 15 Times, the two coaches made in England and Germany. In a direct comparison, Klopp is with eight Victories, just the front, anyway he goes this Thursday for the first Time as the clear favorite in a duel with Guardiola. As a Bayern-coach of the Catalans had the stronger Team, and in Manchester, he met Klopp’s Liverpool, at least on a par. Now, this is different.

Liverpool is the “best team in the world currently,” said Guardiola last. At the same time, he noted that the pressure on the League leaders was always greater than on the tracker. A small mind game, the not convinced. Although the City can back with a victory of Liverpool, but Guardiola and his Team have to lose on Thursday also a lot more. So-midfielder Bernardo Silva has admitted that he would rather be at Liverpool. “The pressure is more likely in us,” said the Portuguese.
Recently City have had to fight almost only with the problems, especially with the default of important players. Without Kevin De Bruyne, the attack was not as overwhelming as usual, and without the resources to field a busboy Fernandinho to City had unsettled unusual and counter-susceptible. Just before the duel with Liverpool is alarming.
With your lightning-fast shift game has surprised Klopp’s team this season a lot of opponents. The magic top trio to Mo Salah, Sadio Mané and the former hope Heimer Roberto Firmino is almost irresistible. But Klopp has given his Team some of the other qualities. The formerly belittled and infamous Liverpool’s Defensive has become a veritable bulwark, with only eight goals in 20 League games. The squad much more balanced. New signings such as Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho and the goalkeeper Alisson Becker have given the team a new Balance.
The team seems to be more solid than earlier
so Far, it has managed Klopp, the hysteria to his team to play down. This is important, because in the past, Liverpool’s dreams have failed often of the high expectations. Unlike 2009 and 2014, as Liverpool collapsed in the final sprint, does not affect the success of this team as a bubble that can burst any time.
Liverpool last Saturday after only eleven minutes against FC Arsenal 0:1 cashed in and became for the first Time this season at home in the residue, like some of the more pessimistic Fan to have meant breaks of the past few years. But this team is exempted plays from the usual pressure that weighs so heavily on this tradition-rich club. The goal seemed to ignore the player almost. At half-time they led with 4:1 and won at the end with 5:1.
Both on the field and in the stands you are confident in Liverpool that the title will not escape this Time. Klopp has stressed that the current lead means nothing. “We are not thinking about the lead. We are not the hunter and not the hunted. We just want to play the best season of our lives,“ says the 51-Year-old. Wins in Liverpool on Thursday, but, you’d already be ten points ahead of City and nine ahead of Tottenham. So you would have an excellent starting position, to the long-awaited 19. To get the championship.
