Klopp reveals how neuroscience was vital to Carabao Cup win

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool has been working with German company 'neuro11' for the past few years to implement mental-strength training into his squad.

Speaking about the importance of the neuro11 team he revealed:

"Incredible impact, they are a fixed part of our coaching staff. They are not here all the time, they are in Germany obviously but they come over quite frequently.

"They were here for the last week, before that they were here for five days.

"All the players are really excited about it and it’s about bringing specific players before a set-piece in the right mindset by doing the stuff we do on the pitch.

"Everything gets measured, they are neuroscientists and it’s incredibly interesting and incredibly important to us.

"It’s a very interesting new chapter for us because it’s not only penalties, although in the last week it was a lot about penalties because of the upcoming final. It’s about free-kicks, all kind of set-pieces as well.

"It’s about the confidence they gave the boys that they really can do it and I’m really happy about it."
