Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that he is not concerned about pressure. Liverpool did plenty of signing in the transfer window, spending £170 million so far on quality players like Naby Keita, Fabinho and goalkeeper Alisson.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Klopp said, “We have not bought a team whilst the others have sold theirs, it is not like this. We don’t have a free way to go to the championship, it will be really hard.
They are still there, but we have improved our position for us. What it means for the league we will see.”
Klopp added,”Pressure is only on the outside. That is not important really. What you say about me in three months doesn’t change my life completely.It is exactly the same with our owners. We are completely fine. It is not as though the others are asleep.
You are right, the pressure comes from outside. It is probably increasing. I don’t care about that. I want us to play the best football we can play and make our fans happy. That is it. What other people say, I don’t care.”
“I am not a dreamer, I don’t dream that we can be there or there. Other people can do that but we have to build a ground for these dreams. We need to play football and that is 80% of the season, if not 90%, the hardest work. The 10% is the day when you go bang, bang, bang and win 5-0. Wow. That is football.”
Liverpool are currently playing at the International Champions Cup where they defeated Manchester City 2-1 yesterday. The Reds came back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. They will now travel to Michigan where they will lock horns with Manchester United on Saturday.
