“I really hope our fans are understanding” – Klopp tries to lower the expectations ahead of new season

Jurgen Klopp has tried to keep the expectations of the Liverpool fans in check ahead of the new season. The club has been in incredible form in pre-season, defeating Napoli 5-0 in their previous game, but the German wanted the team to take one game at a time.

The German was quoted by the Daily Mail

“First of all, I really hope our fans are understanding.

“We have shown a lot of good things in the last few years but it was never in one second easy and it will not be easy this season. If we win a game, we win a game. We must win the next as well, not celebrate anything as if it is decided.

“We have high expectations of ourselves but our situation has not changed. Why should it?”

Our manager also touched upon the fact that most of our rivals had not been weakened in the summer. Klopp provided examples of Tottenham not selling any of their stars while the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea are stronger than last season.

Klopp, however, was forthcoming that we could have a good season if we keep things together this season.

“When I speak about not having crazy expectations, if we keep the atmosphere within the club from last year we have a chance of a really big season. I’m really happy with the new players.”

The Reds have gone from strength to strength under Klopp and have finished in the top-4 in the last two seasons.

The only thing missing from the list at the moment is silverware at Anfield. Liverpool have been close on a number of occasions but have fallen at the final hurdle, like the Champions League final last season.
