Jurgen Klopp hits back at Lampard over Chelsea’s spending tactics

Klopp points his finger at Chelsea over the club’s £200million spending on new players in recent months.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says that it could be a big advantage to his squad as there is less pressure on new superstar signings to perform.

The Blues have completed the signing of six new stars this season including names like Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, and Kai Havertz.

They have also acquired Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr on free transfers.

Meanwhile, Liverpool has signed left-back Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiacos for £11.75m.

“We live in a world at the moment with a lot of uncertainty,” Klopp said via the Metro.

“For some clubs it seems to be less important how uncertain the future is – owned by countries, owned by oligarchs, that’s the truth.

“We’re a different kind of club. We got to the Champions League final two years ago, we won it last year, and became Premier League champions last season by being the club we are, by being led the way we are led.

“We cannot just change it overnight and say, ‘So now we want to behave like Chelsea, now we want to behave like them’, now they’ve signed a lot of players.

“That can be an advantage, of course, but that means they have to fit together pretty quickly as well. It’s not only about bringing quality in.”

“You cannot bring in the 11 best players in the world and just hope a week later they play the best football they ever will play.

“It’s about working together on the training ground. That will probably be an advantage for us. We’ve worked quite a while with each other, but I know people don’t want to hear that.

“But we did it last year, pretty much that way. For our reasons, club reasons, we always want to improve, we always want to improve the squad, but there are different ways.”
