Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes there will be what he described as “nervous moments” in the race for the title, but he believes previous experiences will guide his side through.
According to the Evening Standard, Klopp understands there is pressure on his Liverpool team this season but revealed that is just part of the game.
Klopp’s side extended their lead over current champions Manchester City to five points in midweek with a 1-1 draw against Leicester, though victory would have opened up a seven-point advantage.
City clawed the gap back to two points after against a win over Arsenal on Sunday, prior to Liverpool’s trip to West Ham on Monday night, and questions of Klopp’s side may be raised should they fail to take three points off the out of sorts Hammers.
The Liverpool boss, however, is confident his side can handle the pressure of title favourites.
Yes, there is pressure. There was pressure last year, a lot of pressure when we played Manchester City away in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and we dealt with it.
There was pressure [in the Champions League semi-finals] at Rome, there was pressure in so many moments in the Premier League. We had to win each game. Will there be nervous moments? Yes, for sure. Don’t make them bigger than they are because there were nervous situations last year, two years ago, three years ago. That is part of football
