In the English League Cup final, Klopp was once again praised on the altar, and was praised even higher, because he replaced a number of "big back" players at the critical moment of the game, but the opponent's 200 million midfielder was overwhelmed, and finally won the championship.
In fact, Jurgen Klopp has given a vote of confidence in young players more than once this season, and when he faced rivals Arsenal in the FA Cup, he also sent an unknown Academy player at a crucial moment, and the result was also a late goal victory.
Jurgen Klopp's young players, fans are often amazed that they can't see a trace of immaturity, but instead show the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and endless competitiveness.
Earlier, their youth director Alex Inglethorpe revealed in an interview that they had imposed a "car ban" on young players, and Liverpool's young players could only drive enginesCars under 3 liters, he said he did it for safety. "I don't want a boy who has just passed an exam to drive these big pieces of metal, but I'm also fed up seeing parking lots full of Range Rovers. ”
As well as the car ban, Alex Inglethorpe has also set a £50,000-a-week wage cap for Academy players. "We could have paid them more, but we didn't do it because I don't think it's right, delayed gratification is more important than instant gratification, you take every little bit of opportunity. ”
Our compensation structure is quite old-fashioned. We give them work. He said. "They have to win what they want first. Everything else is an afterthought. In order to reach this goal, you have to do it on the pitch. ”
In addition, in order to develop the concentration and discipline of the players, "we told them to hand over their phones at 8:30 in the morning and return them before going home. ”
He also cited Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones, who have become members of the first team, as role models to emphasize the importance of respect on the road to success.
Both players are known for their humility and dedication, and their performances on and off the field have earned the admiration of the first team members.
Trent (Arnold) is a great role model. Alex Inglethorpe said: "When you get into the first team, the best thing you can do is to get the other first team players to be your advocates. ”
You don't want them to come in in a car that's too big, too grandiose, too ostentatious, because not only the manager and staff will have an opinion about you, but the players of the first team will too. ”
Trent doesn't have luxury watches. I remember he had been driving the same car for years. He wears the same sportswear. As soon as he rose up, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana and James Milner put their time and energy into helping him. The same goes for Curtis Jones. ”
A series of measures have enabled Liverpool to not only develop talented players, but also to develop talent who can embody the club's values on and off the pitch.
Although this may seem like a trivial move for those in charge, it manages to keep the youngsters in line and show them that they haven't really achieved anything before they become A-list stars.
