LIVERPOOL, England : Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp said he cannot understand how Chelsea were able to spend what they did in the January transfer window, insisting it is best left for others explain the rules.
They were able to get around Financial Fair Play regulations by spreading the cost of their deals over long contracts offered to the new signings, among other bending of the rules, something Klopp cannot get his head around. "I don't understand this part of the business but it's a big number. They are all really good players so congratulations. I don't understand how it's possible, but it's not for me to explain how it works."
Almost the same squad went so close to an unprecedented quadruple of trophies last term, but Klopp insisted players cannot always be at the top of their game every season.
