Klopp has revealed what Liverpool’s biggest asset is in the battle for the Premier League title

Brighton opened the scoring through Danny Welbeck after only 84 seconds, but Liverpool did not lose their focus and prevailed through goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah, obtaining the three points that keep them at the top of the table.

Liverpool have now won seven games this season after conceding a goal and Klopp noted that his side have come a long way in developing mental strength.

”When I talk about mental strength as a whole, I was more nervous in the past years. That was a long time ago, but it’s something we had to develop together… If we all enjoy this, then we have a chance. If we don’t, we have another chance, it’s really more difficult and that’s why we try to stay positive in all these moments” Klopp said after the match.

Klopp wants the title when leaving Liverpool

Liverpool, who face Sheffield United on Thursday, lead the table with 67 points, two more than Arsenal and three ahead of champions Manchester City.

Many see Klopp’s side as favorites for the title as they have no UCL struggles, with the Anfield players able to stay much fresher for the Championship. Obviously, the “cormorants” are among the big favorites to win the Europa League, but this competition does not have the same stake as the Champions League and the German technician will surely rest some starters in Europe. The Reds have, on paper, an approachable schedule and right now they have many of their starters back, which is a huge plus.

Another argument in favor of Salah&Co concerns the “Klopp effect”. The German has announced that this is his final season at Anfield, so a fantastic emulation has been created, with the players performing at 100% in every game, wanting to make a superb gift to one of the most influential managers in Liverpool’s history.

Equally, Klopp’s departure has created an even greater unity between fans and players, with Cormorants supporters giving the footballers a huge home advantage. In fact, Liverpool has lost only one match at home from the last 57 played (43 wins, 13 draws). Sheffield United, Palace, Tottenham and Wolves will also arrive at Anfield before the end of the season and it is hard to believe that Klopp’s men will not get maximum points from these games.

”We’re up there with two other teams fighting for the biggest prize in English football and we’ll see how it ends” said Klopp, who will leave the team at the end of the season. ”But I decided that I would try my best to enjoy this fight“, emphasized the technician.

For Jurgen Klopp, the game with Brighton was a special one, the German ticking off the 300th for the German on Liverpool’s bench, in the almost 9 seasons spent at Anfield.

Klopp also set another record: beating De Zerbi, he managed to win at least once against every manager he faced in the Premier League (only duels with at least two games were counted).
