We have an advantage over Chelsea going into the new season - Jürgen Klopp

 

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is confident of his side going into the new season and believes they have a greater advantage over high spending London side Chelsea.

Chelsea recently completed the signing of Kai Havertz from Leverkusen to add to their collection of stars. Going into the new season, the London side might be featuring probably the best team in the Premier League with the likes of Thiago Silva, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, N'Golo Kante, Kurt Zouma all available for Frank Lampard.

With Liverpool yet to add any big name to their side accept  Left-back Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiacos, Jürgen Klopp while speaking with BBC Radio 5 Live still believes his side has a huge advantage going into the season than Chelsea and Manchester City.

'We got to the Champions League final two years ago, we won it last year. We became Premier League champions last season by being the club we are,' Klopp said

'We cannot change it overnight and say, "Now we want to behave like Chelsea."

'They are signing a lot of players. That can be an advantage, but that means they have to fit together.

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

'It's about working on the training ground. That will probably be an advantage for us. We've worked quite a while with each other.'
