Rafa's Training Methods

[RedProf]

Anyone know what they are? I remember in the Evans days, the team used to train by playing a lot of 5 a side. But does anyone know what Rafa's methods are?

I mean - how does he discipline the team so well to perform to his tactics? How does he manage to get the back 4 line so well drilled and with such a great level of understanding that they can move out almost telepathically? How does he get his team to perform to his rigourous tactics so well?

i'd be interested to hear if anyone here actually knows the ins/outs of Melwood and how specifically Rafa operates to create such a well disciplined team - the "crushing machine" as it will become!

I've heard there is a wide variety in what they do in training sessions, and that they try to keep it motivating and entertaining, but that's all I've heard.

I expect, judging by stamina levels, they are trained bloody hard!

We used to play "wembley" with one set of goals.

There'd be the netural GK, then pairs of "teams" all looking to score.

I'd imagine you thought yourself as the next Dean Saunders...

Were you compensating for not competing in the real thing?

we just called it singles or doubles -Liverpool's training methods do include Red Arse, which was pictured in the echo when crouch couldn't score

Well done.

No, I don't actually remember the tournament itself since, contrary to popular opinion, I wasn't actually alive at the time.

Are you sure? (It's probably a case of NY's continuing battle against memory loss....)
