Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that his heart rate doesn’t go up when Arsenal and Manchester City play. He recently revealed that he always expects them to win their games, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he did not even know that Arsenal and Man City had a game on Sunday or prayed to see either of them drop points, because he always expects both clubs win games.
Klopp added that he is focused on Liverpool winning their own games and doing enough to stay in the race till the very end.
His words, “I didn’t even know that they (Arsenal and Man City) play tonight. It is really not my subject. I expect them always to win. It’s not about that. We need to get our points in, we need to win our football games. I’m honestly not interested.
Years ago when I watched a game and wanted Leicester to win, [it] didn’t happen. That was the last time that I did that. That’s when you learn from the past. When they play, my heart rate doesn’t go up.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
