Moving forward to where we are now, obviously, pre-season on the absolute verge of it.

I think Liverpool fly out tomorrow with time with recording notes of the US.

I mean, this obviously was a key time for someone like yourself in your capacity in terms like you either

physically work but the fitness coaches as well all that sort of stuff.

You mentioned the word preventative a few times I mean that must be at the very heart

of what you're talking about now in terms of pre-season.

Obviously getting players ready into a point where

by either ready for the season is crucial, but not picking up injuries at this stage must be massive.

The staff will have, I used to hate greasies.

So I used to hate it.

It was just they will be working immensely hard.

They will work long hours.

They'll be tired.

It is very, very intense, very intense. And you know, we're talking before a little bit about trying to periodize training load during the course of the season and make sure that we keep players load relatively constant.

It's mad but then we give them four weeks off over the summer where they do have work to do and

obviously somebody involved in internationals over the summer as well.

But you then bring them back in pre-season where the training load

just goes like that and they're playing games at the end of the second week and

we're all constantly thinking out okay you've got a squad of 30 players there

all with a completely individualized injury of history,

always completely individualized, you know, preventative programs in terms of the strength work.

We've no idea how much they're all going to play at the start from each game.
