Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has openly expressed his delight in watching Chelsea struggle this season despite their enormous spending in the transfer market. The Blues, who have signed a total of 16 players, are currently having one of their worst Premier League campaigns, sitting 12th on the table and 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Klopp shared his thoughts on the situation, stating that while he feels a little bit for Chelsea, he finds it good to see that simply bringing top players together does not guarantee success. He believes that building a team involves more than just acquiring individual talents and that this is what Chelsea underestimated, leading to an almost impossible task for their coaches.
According to Klopp, having two dressing rooms and two pitches creates a disconnect, making it difficult to build relationships and team spirit. He admits to finding joy in Chelsea's struggles, not because he wishes them harm, but because he sees it as an example of how not to build a successful team. He is confident that Chelsea will bounce back and become incredibly strong next year, but he emphasizes the importance of bringing in the right players and building a new team rather than relying solely on individual talents. Klopp acknowledges that the current Liverpool team wrote a sensational story, but they are now starting a new one with a focus on building a cohesive team rather than just relying on star players.
