If you are looking for some guidance on what the upcoming Premier League Championship may look like, then you might want to hear what Jurgen Klopp has to say about it. For the 2021/2022 Premier League Championship, Jurgen Klopp guided one of the most successful Liverpool teams in recent years to a 2nd place finish on the table. They were narrowly beaten by Pep Guardiola’s unstoppable Manchester City team by just one point.
Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp has extensive experience with everything to do with the Premier League, and if he is capable of guiding Liverpool to nearly winning the Premier League title, then he clearly knows what he is talking about. So listen closely to his predictions for next year, as they may come in handy for all of your football betting habits.
Jurgen Klopp’s Predictions
When asked about his predictions for the upcoming Premier League Championship, Jurgen Klopp controversially stated that it is likely that Manchester City will lift the trophy once again. He also added that if Liverpool hadn’t won the title back in 2020, then Pep Guardiola’s side would probably have won 5 titles in a row. After this statement, he went on to say that Liverpool will be focusing on qualifying for the Champions League, which is achieved by finishing as one of the top 4 teams in the Premier League.
There is speculation about why Klopp made the comments that he did, with many people saying that it is largely due to Liverpool losing one of their star players, Sadio Mane. Mane will be playing for Bayern Munich during the next football season. Perhaps Klopp is thinking about his team in the right way. If you are focusing on winning everything, then the players might become fatigued and overwhelmed. By aiming to perform well enough to qualify for the Champions League, the players might not feel so much pressure to win, and their performances might be better throughout the season. He mentioned that once you reach qualification for the Champions League, that’s when you switch up your focus to the title race.
It is safe to say that many of Jurgen Klopp’s comments have been taken slightly out of context. He mentions that it will be a massive fight for the title next season and that he’s not sure who will win, but Manchester City is a likely contender. If anyone else said this, it would be seen as a fair and reasonable statement. However, as the manager of the team that came second in last year’s Premier League Championship, some people have taken this as him giving up on the season before it had begun.
This isn’t the first time that Klopp has said something that has had people talking. He recently had issues with the season opener against Manchester City, which took place on the 30th of July at the King Power Stadium. The fixture itself didn’t concern him however, the date it took place did. The game meant both Liverpool and Manchester City had to cut their pre-season preparations short, which Klopp did not like one bit.
He mentioned that part of the reason is probably that his side had a longer season than many of the other teams, and now they are having a shorter pre-season to prepare for the upcoming Premier League Championship. They managed to take the FA Cup as well as the Carabao Cup and lost out on both the Champions League title after a defeat to Real Madrid in the finals and the Premier League title after finishing the season one point behind Manchester City. In total, they played a mind-blowing 63 games, so it is understandable that Klopp would want a longer pre-season to prepare his players for the upcoming Premier League Championship.
Liverpool’s pre-season results have been a bit of a mixed bag. With a demoralizing 4-0 defeat to Manchester United, they managed to build their confidence back up with a solid 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace and a 5-0 thumping against RB Leipzig. The future of Liverpool isn’t clear but what is promised is that the next Premier League Championship is going to be full of drama and one not to be missed.
