@@eekpanggang Liverpool’s victory on Saturday was their 42nd of the 2021-22 campaign and the most wins they’ve ever achieved in a single season in their illustrious history. - And only three sides in English football history - Everton (1984-85), Manchester City (2017-18, 2018-19 & 2020-21) and Manchester United (2008-09) - have ever won more games in a season that Klopp’s Reds. The record to beat is 47, set by City last season
@Tahmid Ahmed I'm not sure I agree. Pep said that they aim at unpredictability in the press/chase. This includes attacking play. Our team attacks with a lot of freedom allowing Thiago, Trent, Robbo, Salah, Mane and Diaz to express themselves. The issue with previous styles was that you would get entire teams focussed on a creative 10 that dictated all the play. Wonderfully skilled and entertaining, but easily shut down by defensive teams. This era of Klopp and Pep seems an energised version of Michel's total football with teams able to attack from multiple areas and situations.
Nah stop Liverpool fans definitely don't underrate the skipper. You're talking about gloryhunters who've jumped on the bandwagons and are so spoilt that they're ready to throw their toys out at their pram the minute thing goes left. As of rival fans we don't care damn abt them, they will keep barking while my captain will lift them trophies 👀
I can tell you are not from the UK. because if you were you would know that all (genuine) Liverpool fans have always rated Henderson. His stats back up his performances anyway so opinions don't even come into it.
This is why Henderson is one of the key players in this team . He is practically a coaches's dream player. He plays as instructed and convey the message from the manager and coaches to this players . He leads the press , he sets the tempo .. even Robbo said Henderson is the tempo setter in the team . Lovely insight from Pep and with Klopp signing an extension till 2026 which is the best piece of news today , I'm glad Pep and the other coaches are with us as well.
@@user-br3fk8dx8o Technically underrated and sacrifices himself for the team. Most importantly, whatever the criticism - some of which may be valid - without Henderson, we don't beat Barca and we don't win the European Cup. Nor the league the next year.
@@user-br3fk8dx8o Henderson gets lots of hockey assists (2 passes prior to goal). His job is to put the other team in uncomfortable positions. He isn’t often the final ball guy, although he has plenty of assists. He isn’t the goal score, although he has a few of those. His job is to facilitate everyone else doing what makes them great, and he is incredible at that.
Perfect timing lads to post this after Jurgen Klopp extended his contact at Liverpool by 2026. Which also means we get more Pep Lijnders on bench. I love this Liverpool team
Well if you analyse the game and the team rather than the individual players, by now you should know how our team plays. The system they created is the foundation of how we want to defend and attack. This makes our team more stabilized and not afraid if any member of the team wants to leave. Its the System thats more crucial. if player leave they can be replaced. If the system broken, everything crumbles. 1 fine example is milner. He can play in our system it suited his style. But if you put milner in current arsenal, chelsea, city team he will suffer. Keyword: System. At times even i have doubt because we press so high up the pitch we leave our defense wide open that we conceded a goal. But its football, sometimes u have to take risks to get the result
Yes! That's because once Messi has the ball you're already in trouble! They stopped his supply lines. And when he did get the ball they swarmed him and bumped him off of it. Most Defenders are too scared of messy and end up giving him the extra yard of space he needs to work his magic. But if you get in his face he can't handle it. Robbo ruffling his hair while he was sat on the ground was a moment that perfectly summed up this match.
Exactly! I will remember that, when people complain about Ferran Torres. He may have terrible finishing at the moment but he does so much off the ball.
@@martinkerrmusic Busquets was Barca's most important player all those years, he was the system, and they still rely on him because they can't find a replacement. You can always find creative players and goal scorers but the most successful systems are dependent on elite midfielders. Barca is no worse off now compared to the messi years, the key is whether they can recreate a midfield that can compete at the highest level.
Pep is a perfectionist, look how he moved the circles. When he flipped them at 21:20 Vidal and Coutinho, he put them back instead of leaving it like that because to be honest, it makes no difference they both are orange but in his head the circles have names.... Very interesting mind!
I was like why doesn’t he just leave them, they are all the same 😂. It goes to show how a coach’s mind work as opposed to the SM “experts” and pundits who just spew nonsense online.
No, see there is difference. The orange buttons represent the players positions through a timeline, so if he had left Vidal's orange piece out of its original position after a movement, then thats technically wrong because that would mean he doesnt return to original position and his position has changed. He can avoid it by reiterating all the changed player representations of the pieces, after every time he moved them explaining a pattern or scenario, which is obviously more tedious than just moving the pieces back to their original positions, which he did and is nothing extraordinary imo.
A video like this makes it so clear how much a teams success is due to a system and not just having good players. It makes a mockery of clubs like Manchester United and PSG who buy superstars and expect that to mean they will win everything
Yeah a winning football squad is nothing without the right Manager and coaching staff, and the correct players to implement the style of play which is crucial! Our East Lancs neighbor's are smitten with envy peering up at our perch.
Same idea with when you started playing Football manager you couldn’t hold FIFA anymore 😂 football is about planning, tactics not insane skill moves and bug passing
@@shantanu3543 I don't think so. Liverpool is at least top 3 club in the world currently if not no 1. Barca is way behind and no way they can change much next year. Maybe in 5 years or so bro.
Lol if only Dembele knew how to finish , it would have been 5-0 and we would have played Barca B team at Anfield. Pool got lucky , they over-performed because of Klopp. Shaqiri is finished now, Wijnaldum is finished now, Origi is finished now. They weren't supposed to win.
If there is anything I learned from this is that Klopp wasnt kidding that not all players can fit his football system and it makes more sense now that the recruitment has been consistently good cause the player already should have 90% of what it takes to play.
I wouldn’t mind Gerrard being a manager at some point in the future. But why does he have to be Klopp’s successor. Let pep have it. Look at Shanks and Paisley.
Just afraid, soon they’ll notice his talents and snatch him away before Klopp retires..and God forbid, we may go into another rebuilding just like Man U right now..
Exactly👏🏻 There’s beyond the capacity of any manager to plan for it. Genius. And it happened because Barca had been defeated mentally by Anfield at 3-0, even whilst they were still technically in the game; only Trent and Origi were awake to the reality of the situation. Mourinho said a situation like that couldn’t be believed or happen anywhere else. One of the greatest moments in football
that scene will always hunt barca fans, enough that when we play villareal and trent was taking the corner, camera angle takes exactly the same as when that moment happen, my friend went tantrum remembering that blitz of a corner
Notice how Pep emphasizes doubt. It goes back to Klopp’s principal teaching, of turning Liverpool from doubters to believers. It’s the basic thing you need to succeed, and it’s what drives this machine of a team through games. Self confidence and a refusal to be struck down. Pep totally understands that. You can tell how much Klopp trusts Pep with all the interviews and praise he’s mentioned his coach. It shows the familial aspect of this team, of this club. Yes not everyone has the same talent, but we make sure everyone has the same passion, and I think you can kind of see how the players who leave are the ones who lose that passion. I dread the day Klopp leaves, and I’m glad that for now it’s still four more years away, but I dread it not because of what comes after but because of what has happened. The football this team has produced has helped me grow up with it, and I don’t want to see the day where our glory becomes memories. Enjoy this team LFC, there may come others that break more records or hold more trophies, but there will never be anything like this one. YNWA
"The worst thing in football is doubt" - the most important thing that Klopp did was to remove doubt.. From the players, and from the fans. Believe in yourself and just go for it
I can almost feel the energy and passion in the squad when Jurgen and Ljinders were giving the team talk ahead of this game. Everyone getting extra stamina and goosebumps because we had literally nothing to lose. Giving it our all. Everyone would've ran an extra hour in this game. This game super glued the squad and showed everyone that anything is possible when you work with passion ;D
My key takeaway for this whole video was pep saying that they trained the same way for 4 years to get to that point. That’s exactly why if klopp leaves he should take over. Nobody would know the system better.
My favorite masterclass yet. Pep doesn't get hung up on the numbers game or the zones or the play patterns. He really emphazises more abstract concepts, that we all recognize from experience and not theory. He talks about attitude, passion, emotion, doubt. This is real football how it was meant to be played! Up the reds!
I feel like this game signaled a real changing of the guard in European football. Barcelona’s technical and majestic style was mesmerizing for years, but Klopp and Lijnders crushed it with controlled and directed intensity. Seeing this game in the Barca documentary is very telling - they had no answers for Liverpool on the day. Incredible game and wonderfully explained here by Pep
@@joshleader8017 well he can learn more coaching at the highest level than going to say a championship team. I’m sure when the time comes he will be considered for the manager role at liverpool which I think is a big reason he wants to stay. And Mike Gordon has a history of promoting staff within the club.
Love the whole series but it would be nice if the managers also talk about the game where they faced a loss, so that they can explain what they could have done different.
I wouldn’t mind if gerrard was a manager for Liverpool in the future. But why does he have to be klopps successor? Let pep have it. Look at shanks and paisley
My Top 3 Liverpool comebacks 1. Miracle at Istanbul 2. Anfield Offensive of 2019 3.Stevie G Screamer of FA cup 2006. side note: I don't know if Conchesky's Cross is intended or accidental in that 2006 FA Cup Final. 😅
has been instrumental in adding control to our game. was worried when we lost buvac and his attacking patterns but lijnders has allowed the team to go up another level and play in a way that is more sustainable across the season.
@@nabsyb2610 Buvac and Klopp werent at best terms when he left. Otherwise Buvac would have stayed. I wish Buvac was there for the final with Real in 2018. When he left before the final i got scared a bit
i love this game. missing salah and firmino. robbo came off injured and gini came in. insane instensity on 1st half and emotion erupts in 3-0 on second half. AND THEN TRENT-ORIGI GENIOUS MOMENT HAPPEN. god i love this team.
Am a city fan ... but this isn't about Liverpool...but football at large ...the idea of having a goal and believing that anything is possible....is just heart warming...
aside from his obvious genius detail obsession, his contagious enthusiasm and postive vibe....actually what I loved most are his pronounciation of players' names. Barca no5 from now will be BUSH-CAT for me forever. I really felt it
Every Liverpool stakeholder contributed that night in 2019( Fans, staff, coaches, owners, vendors, etc.) Klopp said to the boys, "we may not make it through, but winning the game will feel extra special. Go and enjoy yourselves." However, the adrenaline flowing through the boys' veins exploded that night after the second goal. All of a sudden, winning the game was not enough. Every Liverpool fan in every corner of the world felt it. So, this is the more reason to face Villarreal with the same vigor that we dumped Barça. We cannot and should not play with any less intensity. YNWA. I love this club.
Not even only them, Vito Matos is one of the best youth developers, the staticians and the scouts that recruited the likes of Robbo, Wignaldum, Matip, Fabinho, recently Jota, Konate and Diaz.
Personally I want him to succeed Klopp. I hope the 2yr extension really develops his personality. Looks like a well liked and very smart figure within the club.
It’s a 2yr WITH option for longer (most likely an extra extra 2-3 years) so he will probably have longer than 2026 to really develop Into the next lfc manager
True, i fealt like that too. That game was way bigger than the final. When i watched the final all i did was wait for it to end and see us lift the trophy
Tbh, the reason why I love first rounds of the league cup is because of Pep press conferences and interviews, I love how he talks about football I love his passion, you can see it in his eyes, it's like he's full of fire when he explains some football phenomenon. That's why Jurgen called him in his new contract interview " The Energizer", because he is for real , and you can see it in training videos he loves what he's doing and everybody loves him. I'M LOVE WITH OUR COACHING TEAM. AND I FEEL FINE :)
personally think this is the man to eventually take over from Jurgen. He has such a good understanding of the club and the style of play. Yes Gerrard would be nice to see but I think this is the move that makes more sense and would work better
Well ladies and gents we all just got our diploma in football coaching thanks to linders in this video. This guy speaks football like science and art combined
Best one yet, incredible how well drilled the Liverpool players are when you lose a key player in Salah but the guy they’ll start instead knows exactly what he needs to do and where he needs to be.
United Fan but I truly appreciate & fully endulge in tactics & explanations of the beautiful game 👏🏽👏🏽 sometimes just watching the game isn't enough...knowing the process, logic & reasonings behind a masterclass is art in itself!
This is priceless, that the coatch and the ideia since the beggining 4 years ago its the same, repetition, repetition, repetition.....this is the only way that a team can improve.
This game was the greatest thing I've ever seen on a football pitch. It was an extraordinary effort from the team. It still brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
The small number of times that he mentioned Messi just shows how effective this defense was that he wasn’t even given the time of day to get touches on the ball. Instead of game planning around the superstar, they planned around everyone else and stopped them from having an influence on the game. Gegenpressing is truly amazing
There was an indescribable aura that evening that you almost forget just how much the incredible play contributed to that relentless passion and belief ❤️ Such a good insight
You can see the admiration Pep Lijnders and the rest of the coaching staff have for our workhorse players like Hendo and Milner with how many times he emphasised their commitment to the game plan. Kinda gives the impression that these coaches likely know more about these players than the keyboard warriors on twitter who're always looking to criticise them. 🤔
''you cannot show emotion on a tactics board'' something that's really true and that we Barca lack. Still respect to Pool after these two games, we didn't show any emotion or character that game
What I find crazy is that the entire starting 11, the reserves, the under 23s etc all buy into this idea and style of play. It's instilled deeply in each and every one of them. All 11 players on the pitch have to work together, chase together, fight together for this system to work and they did it and still doing it. With Anfield behind them, no team in the world can stop that Liverpool team.
This is incredible strategic and tactical analysis of the game. I had to go and watch the highlight again to see all his explanations. The keys words are 'steal the ball' and make them play in our own way not theirs. If you force your opponent to give ball away and make mistake, you will definitely win games. The first goal and second goal explain it all.
Wow. This wasn’t just a masterclass of tactics. But a masterclass on the importance of mentality, training philosophy, passion and desire. What Jurgen and his team have done is unbelievable. YNWA.
Pep speaks with so so much passion and you can just tell he respects and acknowledges the players for their quality and high standards. Love how he switches Vidal back to the right even though the chess pieces are all the same!!
It is comforting that even if Klopp leaves eventually in 2026 or thereafter, he will be able to pass the baton to Lijnders who is more than competent to take over the helm. Stevie G can then come back to be an assistant coach to learn the LFC philosophy and tactics.
He previously failed in his first stint as a manager. No doubt he’s grown since then but I think the opportunity to work with Klopp is better for him than managing his own team.
Liverpool is so Lucky to have these 2 geniuses (Klopp and Pep Linjders) working together to manage this team. And you know what? They both work so well, they just gel together, it just a wonderful sight to see, real team work.
❤ I was thinking the same thing 😮😅😊. His thinking process is clear, precise, and was such an incredible amount of attention to detail. He’s also calm and compassionate about it. I love Liverpool.
Watching this... is it any wonder why Liverpool are one of the best? the thinking process and structure for organised chaos is amazing! whilst also incorporating outside influences and mindsets like the fans and Barca's psychology... brilliant!! This right here is the best Pep out there! Yeah I said it!! YNWA
Great insight, lovely to see this details, Liverpool was a barbaric team on that season, the team changed a lot to nowadays team, but some of these topics still very clear to see on them, they matured, changed but didn't lost some of these key aspects. I would say that the 2018 team would steamrolled you and that the 2022 team will knock you down, let you think you can get up and then knock you down again and again and again.
@@super_organist they havemt evolved from geggenpressing, they are now better at possesion and if you have the ball then you dont have to press as much as before. But the press is still there and it is the best in the world right now
The love the passion and the energy that poured from him... It is easy to see everything about our club being part of his heart and soul. In fact I am pretty sure if he had a DNA test, the results will reveal part Liverpool FC!!
Love listening to Pep! Amazing insight from our fabulous coach. Genius of a man and perfect with Klopp. As Jurgen always says without him and the other coaches nothing would be possible!
8:32 Hendo was all over the pitch ... HE WAS EVERYWHERE! I love how Pep is talking about Hendo's importance to the result and the team. Massive respect for Hendo. Despite being 3-0 down on aggregate I had the audacity to record this game on the DVR and I still have it. Based on Pep's passion when talking about it I'm feeling like watching it again. For context, Liverpool just beat Newcastle 1-0 away and City face Leeds later on. I'm going to be watching this game instead.
The key bit, for me, is when he talks about how there was a four-year process leading up to the game, where the players are drilled to play in a certain way, all the time. If you are not preparing as totally as that, you are going to need some *amazing* players to be able to win against such a drilled system just on talent and making it up as you go along...
