The 2020 FIFA Men’s Coach of the Year has shed light on how demanding a task it is to be successful in the English top-flight.

Liverpool do no seek ‘world dominance’ but instead intend to take each game as it comes, says Jurgen Klopp.

The Premier League champions ran away with the title last time out as they finished the campaign with 99 points – a staggering 18 points more than runners-up Manchester City.

Once again, they have put themselves in a strong position this season having established a three-point lead at the top of the table after beating Tottenham 2-1 on Wednesday.

2019/20, however, presented an anomaly as the intense competition in the English top-flight doesn’t usually allow teams to win the league by such large margins.

“I don’t think anybody will dominate English football – it’s too difficult, 100 percent. The league is too challenging, the calendar is too challenging,” Klopp told reporters after winning The Best FIFA Men’s Coach of the Year award, via Goal.

“The more football games you win, the closer you come to winning trophies. If you are in the final or whatever, then you have to make the final touch, that’s it.

“But we don’t plan world dominance for the next years. We just plan for the next game, which is in 40-something hours at Crystal Palace.”
