Academy experience and an internal game: Lijnders explains LFC training plans
Twelve players from the club’s youth ranks selected by Vitor Matos and Alex Inglethorpe have joined sessions with a handful of senior stars at the AXA Training Centre over the last few days.
The idea is to give the starlets first-hand insight into what it takes to operate at elite level alongside their much more experienced colleagues.
And explaining the thinking behind the decision, Lijnders outlined to Liverpoolfc.com: “We use the time to give a proper impulse to our Academy process. The best clubs in world football have something in common: a one-club mentality. Being split, you have nothing.
