According to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has dismissed suggestions that his side are suffering from nerves as they near the business end of the season.
The Reds are now just six points away from securing their first league title in thirty years. Liverpool returned to winning ways at the weekend in a come-from-behind victory over a struggling Bournemouth.
The win is just the club’s second in five games after the winter break. The Reds’ unbeaten streak ended at 44 while they were also dumped out of the FA Cup by Chelsea.
Klopp, however, believes that a strong finish in the league and the Champions League will hold his players in good stead.
“It’s very important that you keep your nerve, but I was never worried about that”
He insists that it isn’t always enough to just keep your nerve, but rather fight against whatever adversity you are facing at the moment. He admitted that his side has not had to face much trouble over the past one and a half years. However, since they have to do so now, they have no other choice but to embrace it and fight it.
He was adamant that the club will not take these problems lightly and will take stock of the situation and learn from it. He went on to say that the club has worked hard to be where they are now and was more than happy with the response against Bournemouth.
Klopp lavished praise on veteran midfielder James Milner who was in the thick of things against Bournemouth. The 34-year-old made a sensational goal-line clearance to ensure the Reds did not relinquish their lead.
Liverpool will look to overturn a 1-0 deficit as they take on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Liverpool have never lost a two-legged tie under Klopp and the fans will be keen to keep that record going.
