Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he enjoys watching Chelsea struggle this season.
The German tactician said his happiness stemmed from his dissension with the way Chelsea approached the transfer market over the course of the season.
Chelsea are having one of their worst Premier League campaigns as they currently sit 12th on the table and 10 points clear of the relegation zone even after signing 16 players worth over 600 million pounds.
Despite the heavy transfer dealings, Chelsea have been abject in performance which led to the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.
The Liverpool manager highlighted Chelsea’s struggles in an interview with Sky Sports as evidence that a team needs to be meticulously built.
‘I feel a little bit for Chelsea to be honest, because it’s not going well, I think they’re a top, top team, but on the other side it’s good to see that you cannot just bring top players together and think it works out,’ Klopp said.
‘You have to build a team and that’s what the guys there underestimated and gave their coaches a nearly impossible job to do.
‘You cannot have two dressing rooms, you cannot train on two pitches, you have to create relationships, you have to create team spirit, and that’s the only reason why I’m a little bit happy about it.
‘Chelsea will be fine in the end and they will be incredibly strong next year, but I’m using them just as an example. At the highest level, no, we cannot do it like that. And that’s what we will not do.
‘You have to bring in the right players and build a new team. This team wrote a sensational story and now we start a new one, that’s it.’
