Jurgen Klopp has opened up on how devastated he felt when comments were made to declare the current season null and void.

According to the manager, it would have been unfair to Liverpool considering the remarkable performance of his side in the premier league after 29 out of 38 games - completing 76 percent of the current league campaign.

Lots of football pundits and former players called for the Premier League to declare the current season null and void when the coronavirus pandemic halted sporting activities. They stood in defense of how people were victimized and did not want to recall how the plague tattered and shattered lives especially with the involvement of football players.

Liverpool has played 29 matches and have managed to win 27, lost 1 and drawn 1. The Reds are on top of the Premier League with 82 points - 25 clear off second-place Manchester City.  66 goals have been scored so far with 12 cleans sheets and 21 conceded all under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp in his fourth year as manager for the Reds.

In an interview, the German averred that although the crises are needing yet certain performances could not go unnoticed especially with records broken and made, under his reign in English football, there was the hope that the COVID-19 would be solved for normal life to continue.

"There was talk that people wanted to declare the season null and void. So you thought: 'Huh? We have played 76 percent of the season and you just want to delete the thing?'

"That would have been something that I personally would find unfair, to just say that it didn't happen.

"We are first in the home table, we are first in the away table. It is a season in which we should become champions. 

"Dealing with the crisis is the most important thing. But that doesn't mean that certain things are of no importance at all just because they are less important.

"I think there are worse things in life than not becoming champions. A lot of people around us have big problems. People die, it always happens, but at the moment because of a virus that we all didn't know and for which nobody could be prepared.

"We cannot prepare for everything, but also have to react often. That’s the biggest part of my life, reacting to things that I didn’t expect."

The Spanish La Liga is set to start next week after clubs have begun training following COVID-19 testing with the Bundesliga already underway. The Premier League shareholders met on Monday and unanimously voted for training to return in small groups from Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

According to Klopp, the protocols in place need to be adhered for the love of the game and the safety of lives.

'How can you think about football, in moments when people are dying out there?' Nobody does that, but like every other branch of business, we have to prepare for the time afterwards, because it will come of course.

"When it comes to football, that means that we will start training at some point and to make sure everyone is safe, unique measures are taken,” he added.

"As they were made in Germany, they are now being taken in England. The training centers of the English professional clubs will be the safest. There are no places to be infected at all."

Klopp is on the verge of winning Liverpool a first Premier League trophy after decades.
