Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri who joined Stamford Bridge this summer. On Wednesday night Reds suffered their first defeat of the 2017/18 season in Carabao Cup clash against Sarri’s Blues – 2:1. Klopp was the man who admitted the positive influence of Italian specialist arrival. In his recent interview to The Telegraph he said:

The biggest change I ever saw in such a short space of time. Wow. Style completely different. What a manager he is, to be honest.

I’m pretty much a supporter of his since I saw him at Naples. Outstanding football, and now doing it in a very interrupted pre-season. Eden (Hazard) was not there, Giroud, Kante. Starting the season and you see immediately the impact? All my respect. It’s really good to watch. Good job so far.

People were always talking about City being clear, and completely forgot Chelsea. This team is really experienced. It won the title before, 80 per cent won it twice, and they know how it works. That’s a really strong football team.

  • Within few hours before the clash Chelsea place 3rd in EPL the table with 16 points, Liverpool are on top with 18 points
