Klopp explains why “exceptional” season is just the beginning

Jurgen Klopp expects Liverpool to challenge Manchester City for the title again next season.

The Reds fell agonisingly short of the Premier League trophy despite beating Wolves 2-0 on the final day.

But the manager is confident his side will bounce back and push to win the league again once the next campaign begins.

“As long as City are around with the quality they have and the financial power and all that stuff, it’s not that any other team will pass them easily. That’s clear,” he said.

“As long as this is the case we need to be very close to perfection to win the Premier League.

“I don’t say we will have 97 points next year or whatever, maybe that’s not needed, I don’t know. We will come again.

“We made unbelievably big steps and I really expect more to come, that’s the truth.

“There’s a lot to come, a lot of years, it’s all about you and what you do with it, and that’s what we do with it.

“People will tell us it’s 30 years or whatever (since Liverpool won the league) but other clubs have bigger problems, to be honest.

“This team tried it the first time, and I really think they did it quite impressively for a first time.

“This team is not a finished article. We will go again, 100 per cent.”

He added: “It was an unbelievable season. I can read all the stats, I can read all the numbers, it’s just really exceptional.”

“My thing is if you would get an award for the biggest development jump I can remember, then the boys would get that.

“We used the base from last year, but we have made a big step. Unbelievable – and there is more to come.

“If we are ready to make the next step, we will make the next step. That’s the plan from tomorrow on.

“To be on this road and also qualify for the Champions League final, it’s pretty special.

“This team is one of the best to have ever played for Liverpool 100 per cent.”
