Klopp: I had no idea it was possible to spend so much money, changes at Liverpool will take time
Klopp was interviewed by the podcast "CEO Diary" and talked about Liverpool's record-breaking transfer window this summer.
Liverpool spent 450 million on signings this summer. Different new signings enter the team with different football philosophies. Is this a challenge?
Klopp: "Yes, but that's not a problem. It's completely normal. By the way, no team's expenditure is 450 million or, I don't know the exact number, but Liverpool also recovered a lot of money."
"Change always has an impact, change always takes time. Let me give you an example, if Nunez and Dias are still there now, but there are some problems in the team, people will say 'we need to change'."
"There are a lot of new players coming now. , are all very good players, but it doesn’t work now. Why is that? Because development takes time, no one can change this. People need to adapt to new situations, adapt to various things, and so on. "
"So, everything is fine. Everything is in place. Liverpool's quality this year must be shown in key moments and then they must be ready. There is no guarantee that you will win again. This won't just happen. ”
“You can’t do it just because you took If you win the championship, you can spend more money to win the championship again. Other teams won't let you do that. To become a champion you need luck and some timing. "
"Goals scored, hit the post, hit the crossbar, things like that. Things may go your way, or they may go the other way. So, everything is fine. We're talking about situations like they're struggling. Surprising. "
"Yes, it sounds like they spent 450 million. Yes. But they also earn More than 200 million. So if you support Liverpool, everything is fine, these are the only ones that really matter. "
"Yes, you trust them to do the right thing. So, just keep working hard and make this team the best it can be. "
You have never experienced a transfer window like this, where you can spend so much money.
Klopp: "No, we built three stands and a training ground. ”
Yes, that’s right. I remember in the press conference you mentioned City's ability to spend money.
Klopp: "I didn't know it was possible (to spend so much money). No one told me that I could spend this much money. In the last year, Adidas sponsorship and some stadium income, yes, I did make a lot of money, but I never asked for it, and I never heard of spending this much money."
"But that's not a problem, either. It wasn't really a problem at that time."
"I loved the success we had, building the new stands and the training ground, because we're talking about the transfer window now, as you want to say, a lot of money was spent, but there was no discussion about the stand refurbishment, there was no discussion about the training ground, we were building a top-notch training ground. , all great. "
"They almost built a new stadium at Anfield without demolition. So, it's a great story that will live on forever. Maybe one day they will decide that the Kop can accommodate more people or something. I don't know if this will ever happen, but you can do something there. "
"That's why I like it here. I really want to win as much as possible. "
"Because I have to win games with my team, but I really hope that the club can benefit from the games we win and benefit from this period after I leave. I hope so. "
