Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists there’s no envy of Manchester City‘s spending power.
The Reds enter the 2019-20 campaign as European champions, determined to both defend their crown and topple City in the Premier League.
“I can’t say anything about what other teams are doing,” said Klopp. “I don’t know how they do it. We have to pay bills. Sorry! Everybody has to pay bills; we have to pay bills.
“We invested money in this team. Now it looks like we are not. But we are not in this fantasy land where you just get whatever you want.
“You cannot do it constantly.
“It looks like there are four clubs in the world who can do it constantly. Madrid, Barcelona, City and PSG. Whatever they need, they do.
“You cannot compare that. That is the situation.
“It is NOT a criticism. I know how people will take it, that I am jealous or whatever. I am not at all jealous!”
He added, “This team is really good and we have invested a lot in it.
“Now we have to work that. You cannot hope that we will not draw at home to Leicester on a snowy pitch with five new signings.
“There is no guarantee with that. There is no guarantee.
“There will be average games – and we still have to win it but that doesn’t mean we need different players.
“It only means we need a team that is ready that day. And that is what we have to do. We have to make sure.”
