According to Spurs manager Antonio Conte, 'you don't know what you've got until you've lost it,' as he highlights what the EPL is and could have become without Liverpool up against Manchester City.
While the debate and narratives were focused on Liverpool winning the EPL rather than Manchester City, Conte admitted that in the last five seasons, one of the league's most despised clubs has clearly turned out to be the team that has maintained the league's integrity.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte stated that if it weren't for Liverpool, Manchester City would have dominated the Premier League like Juventus does in Serie A.
Liverpool will face Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.Conte stated that Jurgen Klopp's team should be proud for posing a serious threat to Manchester City over the last five years.
"Without Liverpool, I believe City could do what Juventus did in Italy," Conte told reporters on Friday.
"As a result, they should be proud of themselves for reaching this level, and I believe they have improved significantly over the years." They did spend money, but Klopp has changed Liverpool, and the club has given him the opportunity to invest."Many rival fans will want to deny or, for lack of a better word, point to the glory days of Manchester United winning the EPL multiple times as Manchester City has to undermine Liverpool's achievements, but the difference with that era is that Manchester United never demonstrated a lot of superiority to other teams in the league as Manchester City has consistently done over the years.
Liverpool's ability to keep up with such a team demonstrates how interesting the Merseyside club and Jurgen Klopp have made the league simply by being up to the challenge.
