‘My heart rate doesn’t go up’ – Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists he’s ‘not interested’ in watching Arsenal & Man City despite nail-biting title race
Jurgen Klopp’s nonchalant attitude towards the title race is evident as he reveals that his “heart rate doesn’t go up” when Arsenal and Manchester City are in action, as he always expects them to emerge victorious.
In the buildup to Liverpool’s crucial clash with Sheffield United, Klopp dismissed any interest in monitoring Arsenal and City’s progress, despite the trio being embroiled in a fiercely contested title race. Reflecting on past experiences, Klopp admitted to having supported Leicester on one occasion, only to be left disappointed when they didn’t secure the desired result. Since then, Klopp has adopted a hands-off approach, expressing genuine disinterest in the outcomes of other teams.
As the Premier League enters its decisive phase, Liverpool finds themselves perched at the summit, holding a slender two-point lead over Arsenal and a three-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City. The recent draw between Arsenal and City at the Etihad Stadium was a welcome outcome for Klopp’s side, positioning them favorably to clinch their 20th league title.
Downplaying the significance of Arsenal and City’s fixtures, Klopp emphasized the importance of Liverpool focusing solely on their own performances and accumulating points. His indifference towards the outcomes of other matches underscores his unwavering belief in Liverpool’s abilities and the need for unwavering focus on their own journey to glory.
While Arsenal and Manchester City square off in midweek fixtures against Luton and Aston Villa respectively, Liverpool will bide their time before their showdown with Sheffield United at Anfield. With the opportunity to either reclaim the top spot or widen the gap, Klopp’s men are poised to seize control of their destiny in the pursuit of Premier League supremacy.
