Bola.net – The public believes that Liverpool could dominate Britain and Europe in the coming years. But Gary Neville as a legend Manchester United disagree with these assumptions.
Last season, Liverpool won the Champions League after beating fellow English club Tottenham Hotspur in the final match. This season, the Reds triumphed in the domestic league by becoming champions again after waiting for 30 years.
Liverpool really dominates the 2019-2020 Premier League season. In fact, defending champion Manchester City was unable to provide significant disruption. In fact, before lockdown, the Reds were 25 points ahead of second place.
Led by Jurgen Klopp in the manager’s chair, Liverpool’s performance was so inspiring by relying on players like Trent Alexander-Arnold (academy dropout), Andrew Robertson (for 8 million pounds), and Jordan Henderson (worth 15 million pounds).
The Red Merseyside club also has a frightening attacking trio, Sadio Mane (bought for 30 million pounds), Mohamed Salah (34.3 million pounds), and Roberto Firmino (29 million pounds).
However, Neville rate Liverpool will not be as dominant as Manchester United in the Sir Alex Ferguson era. There is a special reason behind Neville’s beliefs.

Liverpool Not Too Much Shopping
According to Neville, Liverpool is difficult to dominate English football because there is not too much spending on players. In fact, the Reds shopping activity is still inferior to other major English clubs.
When asked whether Liverpool will dominate over the next decade, Neville responded firmly. “No,” Neville said, as reported by The Sun on Wednesday (7/22/2020).
“Liverpool, in the transfer business, are too simple compared to other clubs. Their owners do not have as much money as Manchester City, or have the spending power like Manchester United or Chelsea. Not like that,” added Nevillle, who used to operate in the left back sector .
Despite this, Neville praised Jurgen Klopp’s ingenuity in operating a small spending fund from the club.
“What Liverpool have done in the last three years is to start creating an era. Reaching the Champions League final, winning the Champions League, winning the league, they are in the middle of something here,” Neville said.
“What Jurgen Klopp has done at Liverpool is clearly extraordinary. He doesn’t have the resources like Pep Guardiola, or the resources that Manchester United managers have had in the past seven years. But, with good focus and precision recruitment, he managed to develop a great team . “
“If Liverpool can win the league again next year, or return to the Champions League final or win the domestic handa title, then it’s time we return to talk about a truly great team,” added Neville.

The Reds Must Work Harder
According to Gary Neville, Klopp must whip his players even harder next season if he wants to retain the Premier League title.
“Klopp must whip his players a little harder, to make them understand that they can no longer go down two or three percent compared to now, because City or other clubs will give more resistance,” said Neville.
“City have shown their standards, Liverpool also have. Now Liverpool must maintain it.”
“What Sir Alex Ferguson is doing at United is building a great squad to win for three or four years, then changing it again and adapting to win again in the next three or four years.”
“Sir Alex has continued to do that for 20 years. Obviously he is a genius and that is why he is called the greatest manager,” added Neville about the glory of Manchester United in the 1990s and 2000s.
