Manchester City\u2019s defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night ensured the Reds claimed their first top-flight title in 30 years.<\/p>\n
The German said: \u201cThe players wanted to write their own history and stories so they were ready not to compare us with those great figures in this club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were unbelievably good last year and smashing this record is absolutely exceptional. It is really difficult to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n
On whether he will get a statue like the Reds\u2019 previous title-winning managers, Klopp joked: \u201cThey all got theirs when they were not here. I want to live for 30 or 40 years!\u201d<\/p>\n
Klopp is confident Liverpool will not lose the hunger for silverware after winning the Champions League, Club World Cup, Super Cup and now the Premier League.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWe won some stuff but they are still humble and as long as they stay humble we have a chance of being successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Klopp also reserved praise for the fans too, saying: \u201cI know it means the world to them \u2013 it means the world to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s massive and what I love is when you have a successful football club in your city it gives the whole city a lift. I am really happy for our people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Captain Jordan Henderson, who joined Liverpool nine years ago, is adamant his side will not rest on their laurels for the last seven games as he has his sights on the highest points total in a Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n
He told the club\u2019s official website: \u201c`It\u2019s hard to describe, to be honest. But after the final whistle it was just an amazing feeling, especially to spend it with all the lads and the staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo finally get over the line is a relief but also an amazing feeling. It\u2019s a unique feeling and one that I\u2019m very proud of.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been so honored to be part of this football club right from the first moment that I came and to go on the journey to be with this manager, this group of players, these fans \u2013 it\u2019s been so special.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we\u2019ll enjoy this, we\u2019ll celebrate, but then I know in the next few days they\u2019ll be straight onto the next game, which is City, and finishing the season off as well as we can.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to win every game and we want to finish off with the highest points record we can and give everything we\u2019ve got and then we\u2019ll go into next season and we\u2019ll want even more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool are 23 points clear of closest challengers City, whose reign as Premier League champions came to an end, with 28 wins, two draws and only one defeat from their 31 matches.<\/p>\n
But despite their immense success this season, Henderson insists there was never a point where he thought Liverpool were home and hosed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were numerous games where I felt there were big results and big performances in certain stages of the season,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut at the same time I never got carried away after a win or a performance \u2013 it was literally \u2018job done, let\u2019s pick it up next game and go again and keep doing that until we get to this point\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou never know what is going to happen in football.\u201d<\/p>\n
