Liverpool Pre-Season Training

​​Oren Shabat Laurent reflects on Liverpool’s demanding pre-season domestically and abroad, as new players settle in and the club embarks on a new season. 

Pre-season training began for first team players at Melwood this week. After summer holidays, or national duties for some, players returned to be assessed and commence training in earnest. Klopp eased the players back with a one session day and medicals, before ramping up to two and three session days later in the week. 

Pre-season was a good chance for new recruits to get familiar with their new teammates as forward Sadio Mane, midfielder Marko Grujic, defender Joel Matip and goalkeeper Loris Karius officially met other players for the first time. Players returning from Euro or Copa America duties will integrate back into the squad following a three week break after their countries exit. Liverpool’s five English players should rejoin in late July.

Early season training is also a key chance for players to impress, as loaned players return back to the mix too. 

A Busy Summer Schedule

This summer looms as one of the busiest on record, as the club plays a total of nine matches across three countries. They are set to play Tranmere, Fleetwood then Wigan and Huddersfield locally. They will then take on Chelsea, AC Milan and finally Roma in the US, in a series of promotional warm-ups. Back on home turf they play Barcelona at Wembley and then head to Germany to play Klopp’s former side Mainz in their final match before their season opener versus Arsenal. 

This pre-season could be one of the most pivotal ever, as Klopp prepares to get his side fit and ready for the season ahead. It’s never a case of win at all costs, in fact it can be quite the opposite as new combinations and formations need to be tested, while young players need exposure to pressure and game time under the spotlight of the big stage - Barcelona at Wembley should provide just that. 

Hopefully it’s a demanding and yet rewarding period for the club ahead of this 2016/17 season. ​

Pre-season helps to get familiar with the team and get used to how the team works together. It improves the relationship with the team and also get more practices.

Players old and new alike will find a suitable challenge against some
of futbol's best. There should be plenty of fancy-footwork.

I always wonder about the toll that travelling to various countries takes on the teams. They certainly would have to develop some toughness.
