Jürgen Klopp alluded to Liverpool making “little steps” after their draw with Chelsea, but how do his expectations translate to that of fans? With Jürgen Klopp managing his 1000th game of football at the weekend – 411 of those for Liverpool – I took the opportunity to do just that. There are the obvious highlights: Barcelona 4-0, winning a sixth Champions League in Madrid, ending the 30-year wait for a Premier League title. However, it’s many of the small things that continue to stick in my mind with this manager.
He acknowledged that while it might not feel significant, the performance marked a step in the right direction.
“For me it’s clear in this situation that you have to be ready for little steps and today was a little step. I expect progress, and I think from the last league game it was definitely progress and that’s important.”
