Jurgen Klopp: Man City changed EPL

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, leading in the EPL this season, reckons that Manchester City changed the league.

Last season 97 points weren’t enough for the Reds to win the title for the first time since 1990, as Manchester City overtook them by one point. This became a sort of phenomenon in the EPL, as previously the two teams weren’t going after the championship title so stubbornly. Without losing points basically. City gave away 16 points to the opponents for the whole season, while Liverpool gave away 17.

This Premier League draw differs from the previous one in that City have already lost as much as last season. Liverpool, mindful of the mistakes a year ago, do not squander points in matches and come with an almost one hundred percent result, noticeably breaking away from Leicester and the Citizens.

According to Jurgen Klopp, it was Manchester City that created such a competitive environment in the league that the future champion lost points was an inadmissible luxury,

“The Premier League has changed in the short time that I have been in England. It is no longer permissible to lose matches if you want to win the Premier League.

The reason is the stability that Manchester City have demonstrated over the past three years. They significantly raised the bar and, frankly, helped us, forcing us to try to catch up with them. Obviously, this is difficult when you need to win a football match every three days, but winning the Premier League must be difficult.

The German also noted that in the modern English top-tier league the situation can change at any moment and cited the example of Watford, which recently changed their coach and could soon get out of the relegation zone. The same picture is with applicants for places in European competitions.

In general, Klopp is right. Stability throughout the championship was the key to success. So it was with Conte’s Chelsea, or with Ranieri’s Leicester, who took advantage of the failures in the game of Man City, Tottenham and the rest of the leaders.
