Klopp won't be burdened by Liverpool's 27-year title drought

Jurgen Klopp says he does not feel burdened by Liverpool's 27-year long title drought.

The last time Liverpool won the title, Klopp was playing for Rot.Weiss Frankfurt in Bundesliga.

"I don't think about it, but obviously a lot of people in Liverpool think about it!," said the Reds manager.

"Actually I don't like this 'special manager, first manager in whatever, 100 years, to win the double with Dortmund.'

"I'd be fine to win the cup and then the championship in another year. Winning them together they say makes me really special. I don't need this but if it happens it's good. It's not my motivation.

"Success for us is being better, always better, better, better than last year. If you are patient enough to make these steps you can get everything.
