'It's part of refreshing a successful team': Klopp says City are able to adapt to change more easily than Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke to Sport 1, about rivals Man City and shared what made them so good over the past years.

“Haaland is an exceptional footballer and of course they have become stronger because of him. You just have to know - Pep [Guardiola] sees this just as much as I do - that the team has to be reshuffled from time to time.

“We also gained players and lost one [Mané] who almost always played. That will take time. That applies to City as well as to us. But when you see how City play, how the balls come into the penalty area, how Erling stays in the right spaces, it's hard to avoid scoring.

“But City have also given up a lot of players and are also in transition, even more than we are. It's part of refreshing a successful team.

"You gave up Gabriel Jesus, as did Raheem Sterling, who was a fixture in Manchester for years. Zinchenko too. Fernandinho has retired, or rather, has gone back to Brazil. They were important players for City.

“And the season is damn long and is interrupted again by the World Cup, no one has a clue."
