Liverpool are not the one to obsess about on their past glory but look forward to challenges ahead, says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
July 22, 2020 is a date that will remain next to unforgettable in the minds of the Liverpool faithful.
It is on that day that their team lifted the Premier League title, something they had been meaning to do for quite a while then.
Jurgen Klopp’s men made kind of a paradoxical record as they simultaneously became the earliest champions, with seven games to spare, as well as the latest, having won it in July due to the pandemic delaying the campaign.
The Reds pushed boundaries and new set new benchmarks in the process, coming very close to emulating Arsenal‘s ‘invincible’ season.
As elegant as the triumph was, however, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain insists his side are done celebrating it and are totally focused on the 2020/21 season.
“It was amazing, but it’s done now. We can look back on it later, but we can’t get caught up in it now,” Oxlade-Chamberlain told Goal.
“It was always about ‘what’s next?’ and that’s how it is now.
“We know we did it, we know we are in the history books and we have our medals to remind us, but being in and around the building, no-one is talking about it, no-one is giving off the impression that we are champions, and that’s how it should be.”
