Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to run triple training sessions in preseason

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he will run triple training sessions during preseason this summer as he plans for his first full campaign in charge at Anfield. Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers as boss in October and has led the club to the Europa League final against Sevilla on May 18, while they could finish the Premier League season in sixth. The German will create a small piece of history in his 50th match in charge of the club but he said he hopes to be able to write a bigger chapter in the future, calling next week's Europa League final versus Sevilla "all or nothing." The former Borussia Dortmund coach has a reputation for developing hard-working sides and he will look to improve Liverpool's fitness by operating a rigorous training regime ahead of 2016-17, with July friendlies scheduled against Chelsea and AC Milan in California. The Guardian also reports that Klopp has moved to bring in Mona Nemmer, Bayern Munich's nutritionist, joining fitness coach Andreas Kornmayer, who is also reported to be set for a switch to Merseyside from the Bundesliga champions. "It will be triple training sessions, of course," Klopp said at the club's end of season awards. "The problem with preseason is that for the first three weeks we have 15 players who will have been away at the Euros and we also have to see how the squad is changing. "On another planet we would have six weeks together training because in this league it is the only time that you can train. "In all of the [preseason] games we will play out full training. So if we play our best in preseason then I've done something completely wrong. "We have to do a lot to create a base for one year. We stop preseason in the middle of August and maybe with the players who come back from the Euros it will be difficult so we might have to make their preseason two weeks longer so that it goes into the season. "That might mean they do not play at that stage or they are only allowed to play so many minutes." He added: "We have a special plan of what we want to do with the boys. They cannot go home now when they are off at the end of the season. "Nearly all of them have national team games but you cannot have six weeks off. You have something like four weeks and in four weeks you cannot sleep for the whole time so you have two weeks completely off and you have a plan and you have to do it. "That means when you come back you are not at nil, you are at 60-70 percent and then you can start training. That's how it works. "Everything you do is based around physical potential and what you do in preseason is key to that. We are now really fit but because of the games -- our best sessions have been the games. "On the one side we play a little bit too often and it's too intense training but usually we are in a good shape and you saw against Chelsea that Emre [Can] played again after three weeks off. "It was hard for him but it was very important for him to get through it. That shows the right training works. That is how it is and that's why we will train a lot.
