Liverpool fans defended by Klopp over premature title celebration claim

Claims have been made that Liverpool supporters are celebrating a Premier League title win prematurely and Jurgen Klopp has come to the rescue, saying he has seen nothing to suggest this is true.

Given the way that the Reds are playing some truly spectacular football with an increased level of balance with Virgil van Dijk and Alisson at the back, it’s understandable fans are excited.

Yet, there aren’t any who genuinely think the league is won yet given the sobering conclusion to the 2013/14 season and Klopp says the club’s supporters are just happy to watch the scenes unfolding at Anfield.

He said: “I’m not out there a lot, so I don’t know if the people are running through the streets like this [waving arms] constantly.

“When I pass people on the streets, it doesn’t look like that – normal life. People like how the boys perform, how the boys are playing, people love the results. That’s all clear.

“But I think it’s a lack of respect to think that our fans want to celebrate now already, like this, ‘We will do it, we will do it’.

“We really create an atmosphere where the people like the steps we make, they like being part of these steps. That’s what we are in the moment.

“We are not the group we were 10 or 15 years ago – or even 20 years ago. We are not. It’s different. The world changed out there, the football world changed, there are different opponents now, different challenges.

“We are in a really good position in that group of challenges. That’s it. That was the first achievement. The people are now really happy that it looks like the season so far is already special.

“If they are smart – and they are smart – then they will enjoy it until the last matchday. Then we will see what it brought.”
