Liverpool won the League Cup on Sunday at Wembley by beating Chelsea on penalties after drawing 0-0, after the Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalga missed his penalty in the decisive shootout (11-10) in an electrifying confrontation.
In this definition, the precision of the players of both teams in the collections was striking, because at least in Liverpool, none failed.
It’s not by chance. DT Jurgen Klopp revealed in the club’s media that they have a special program to work on the psychological and neural part of the players, including the newcomer, the Colombian Luis Díaz.
The keys
“We work with Neuro11, I don’t know if you know what it is, but in the preseason you should have seen them in our training sessions. With the boys from neuro11 we train set pieces. In recent weeks each player went through a specific psychological exercise for penalties Also for corners and fouls, but especially on penalties,” Klopp said.
Liverpool was infallible in the definition. The Colombian had already been substituted at minute 96, so he could not kick.
“They gave us a list of pitchers. They (Neuro11) were in the stadium, I can’t imagine their heart rate. We had the first five players and then up to six, seven and eight. From there some of the players on the list were no longer on the field and were not even close on the list. It was really exciting. Congratulations to the boys and to neuro11, “he added.
As is known, this company was founded by doctors in neuroscience Niklas Häusler, doctorate in neuroscience and psychology from the University of Bonn, and Doctor Fabian Steinberg, doctorate in neuroscience and sports science from the University of Cologne. As well as Patrick Häntschke, former youth coach in the Bundesliga.
