Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp isn't surprised by Thomas Tuchel's success with Chelsea.
The Reds face the European champions on Saturday.
Klopp said, "What he did at Chelsea is exceptional, I was never in doubt he would have a massive impact. Not even he would have expected it to happen that quickly. He won the Uefa coach of the year and really deserved it.
"The combination of financial wealth and football knowledge is always a threat for us, what they are doing is really good. Thomas is an exceptional manager and coach all my respect."
He also said: "I expect a very difficult game for both teams, there is not an easy way through any line and both teams are very well organised. It will be a big fight and it is one of these games which I would watch 100% if I was not involved. It is a must watch game.
"Chelsea are in a very good moment, won the Champions League, played an incredible last half of the season since Thomas Tuchel came in and now have brought Romelu Lukaku in. It is a tough opponent but we are not in the worst moment and hopefully we can show that."
