After Pep Lijnders changed the training facility, Liverpool has refined their hidden weapon.
Aside from their striking force, which is visually appealing, Liverpool has a secret weapon for goal production.
In addition to Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Ben Doak, Liverpool possesses a secret weapon that has already paid off this season.
It makes sense for adversaries to prioritize the Reds’ attacking trio, whoever they may be. Three difficulties are soon becoming five and six for whoever counters Jurgen Klopp’s team because of the menace the new-look midfield poses.
The Reds have experienced more success recently away from their offensive, dominating the charts for their output of goals from set-pieces. Such a finding doesn’t come as much of a surprise to Liverpool fans because Klopp made a point of emphasizing it as a crucial path to success when he first assumed control of the team.
Liverpool had a horrible season last year, but they still had the most goals from set pieces with 17.
After four games, Salah has been at his consistently reliable best, and Diaz has emerged as one of Liverpool’s brightest prospects. Salah also scored in Sunday’s victory over the Villains. Nunez scored the game-winning goal in an earlier victory over Newcastle United following his second-half substitution.
It’s time to ponder once the unavoidable break has begun, especially on the thrilling previous four games. Anfield’s assault is humming in open play and during transitions, and a low-key optimism is developing both on and off the field.
Liverpool is looking dangerous from set pieces, and their effectiveness against Bournemouth and Aston Villa could have resulted in a much higher goal total.
Pep Lijnders, Klopp’s assistant, described the modification to the practice field that might indicate future success. He stated: “I said to Jurgen, ‘I have this idea, we should create a set piece pitch.'” During a podcast with Training Ground Guru.
So, after training today, we spent 15 minutes there, and I built four boxes with a net in the middle of them. Only in-swingers are being trained on one side, and on both sides, I’ve placed this basketball net at the spot where I want players to shoot at it.
“Only wide free kicks on one box, only penalties and straight free kicks on the other, and a finishing workout in the D. The players are switched for 15 minutes.
