A few hours before Liverpool-Manchester City this Sunday in the Premier, Jürgen Klopp, coach of the Anfield team, said that his club “it cannot compete with the financial power” of the ‘citizens’, “who can do whatever they want”.
Liverpool face the visit of their great rivals who are 13 points behind City, 2nd, and 14 behind the English championship leaders, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal (who also visit Leeds this Sunday). A poor start to the championship has put the European runners-up far out of contention for the title. Liverpool have a match pending.
Asked how to beat City (winners of the last 5 Premier League) at the end of the league, Klopp said: “Nobody can in this aspect (financial).”
Klopp also told the media: “You have the best team in the world and you add the best striker on the market.. It doesn’t matter what it costs. I know the City won’t like this, but you asked and you know the answer. What are Liverpool doing? He cannot act like them (like the City). Not allowed.”
The Liverpool manager added: “There are three clubs in world football that can do what they want financially.” In reference to City (from City Football Group Limited, with an Emirati majority), Newcastle (from Saudi funding) and PSG (with Qatari ownership). “That’s legal, okay, but they can do what they want. It’s not a problem for me, but that’s how it is,” concluded Klopp.
