Opening up on the secret to Liverpool's success, Lijnders revealed in his upcoming and eye-opening book about the club, that preparation has been integral to the Reds' recent glory with Klopp having set the bar high in training. In April's 4-0 Anfield annihilation of fierce rivals Manchester United, the Reds also netted a stunning team goal which had evidently been fine-tuned on the training pitch. Nevertheless, Lijnders insists the booking is not causing any damage and says there were always going to be people who liked it and didn't like it.

He and Kevin Keegan made their home debuts on the same day, but George has lasted almost 50 years longer at Liverpool than the legendary former captain. What was intended to be a diary of the 2021/22 season, documenting the role each first-team member played in taking Liverpool to the brink of history, has instead stoked the fire and fuelled hypotheses and narrative. If someone represents this quote of Bill Shankly, it’s him: ‘Playing at the highest level isn’t pressure, it’s a reward’. Not because of the burnout from last season, not necessarily because of the unfortunate injuries, but can it be exactly because of this book that reveals everything?

Our future captain was a step closer – he should now stay close to Milner to learn as much as possible during this year because it’s the next step in his development. Liverpool fans were furious with the decision to publish a behind the scenes book while former midfielder Dietmar Hamann said 'alarm bells' should be ringing.
