2. High energy

Emre Can covered 11.3km and made 61 sprints last weekend during Liverpool’s draw with Tottenham in the Premier League. The Germany international has been nicknamed Rolls Royce for his marauding runs down the field and high energy rate.

Klopp requires his player to run long distances in games in order to carry out his ‘high pressing’ game and Can’s attributes fully fit in with the German manager’s philosophy.
