Premier League – Jürgen Klopp accuses the blow after the loss of Liverpool, 6 points behind City: “It’s a big gap …”

“The first thing will be to never reproduce a game this way again., also announced the German coach at the microphone of Prime Video after the meeting. We have to learn and we will .. We lost the rhythm and weren’t calm enough to get it back. “A sad way to end the year 2021, during a period that hardly succeeds at the Reds, since it was already in December last year that they had started their terrible fall in the standings, dropping from a first place five points ahead of City in fifth place in January.

“What can I say ? It is still December, the season is so long… Anything can happen, relativized Virgil Van Dijk after the meeting. You saw it with the Covid and the injuries: a lot can change. There is no point in looking at Manchester City or Chelsea. We have to look at our performance today and improve. We all wanted to do better, that’s a fact. We weren’t good enough and they deserve the win.”

In other words, there is no question of sinking into distress or of hanging on at all costs to a title hope for Van Dijk. Nor for his trainer Jürgen Klopp: “It’s a big gap (with City), but at the moment it’s not my problem. If we play normal football, THE football of Liverpool, we will have the possibility of winning many more matches.“. There is no doubt that Guardiola and the Skyblues, six lengths ahead in the standings, are still reveling in this defeat of Liverpool at the Foxes.
