Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp thinks the English are more used to handling cold weather than people in his native Germany.
The 48-year-old, who took charge of the Merseyside giants in October, is often seen standing on the touchlines during games wearing a coat, a scarf and a cap, trying to negate the chilly conditions.
Another aspect Klopp needs to adapt to is that there are no winter break in England such as there is in Germany.
And the former Borussia Dortmund boss, who is hopeful about getting used to the English weather, added that people in the UK do not fall sick despite wearing t-shirts and shorts in cold weather.
“The guys here are used to it”, he told German magazine RevierSport.

“The English arrive for training wearing a t-shirt in October when it's wind force 12 and raining.
“And I’m standing there wearing fur coats, a hat on the head and am still cold. It seems like you get used to it after a while.
“Pupils go to school wearing shorts here in October too. No mother would allow that in Germany – but still people don't get ill here.”
Liverpool, who have struggled for consistency under Klopp, are currently ninth in the Premier League with 35 points from 25 games, 12 adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City.
The Reds will next face relegation-threatened Aston Villa in an away league game at Villa Park tomorrow.
