Jurgen Klopp breaks silence on null and void rumours, states Reds deserve PL title

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that it would be wrong if the Premier League title was denied to the Reds.

Wrong to deny Premier League title to Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp

During an interaction at the DFB Academy, Jurgen Klopp opened up on talks of declaring the present Premier League season null and void. He slammed the people who suggested the idea, labelling it as an absurd suggestion after playing 75 percent of the season. The decision of declaring the Premier League season null and void would have been an unfair one, said the Liverpool manager.

Jurgen Klopp asserted that Liverpool hold the first spot on the Premier League points table no matter which scenario was considered, be it solely home games or away games. Klopp stated that it was imperative to deal with the crisis, but that does not mean that certain things are not important at all, pointing at Liverpool’s nigh unassailable lead in the Premier League this season.

Despite the concerns flagged by the players, the managers and the medical staff, Jurgen Klopp feels that the English top-flight will make grounds safer for the players, as is seen in Germany.
