When it comes to sport, competition or whatever, I've always thought it best to be 100 percent positive in regard to results. You give everything to win, but you have to accept results in context with life overall.
So for me, as much time as I spend obsessing over this club, like nothing I've experienced in any sporting context (and truthfully, in almost any other area of life), and take delight in each individual win, as well as the overall campaign, I've never thought of it as relief when we achieve things . So relief isn't the word for me, just delight.
I think Klopp is especially good at shielding his players, keeping them on song re their mindset. But in his recruitment/retention he gets the most competitive and ambitious players. Players who aren't really driven just won't last here. So the pressure they feel is the best type, what comes from within.
