LIVERPOOL REVEALS UNIQUE RULES FOR YOUNGSTERS AFTER CARABAO CUP WIN – Alex Inglethorpe Explains Controversial Decision”
Liverpool’s triumph in the Carabao Cup, marked by Virgil van Dijk’s decisive goal against Chelsea at Wembley, held special significance as the team overcame the absence of key players like Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The youth players, including Bobby Clark and Conor Bradley, showcased their talents, seizing the spotlight.
The club’s emphasis on nurturing young talent was discussed by Jamie Carragher and Alex Inglethorpe in an interview with The Telegraph. The players are subjected to rules, including limitations on the type of vehicles they can drive and a £50,000 annual salary cap. A unique regulation involves surrendering phones at the training facility, aiming at safety and avoiding ostentation.
Inglethorpe explained, “It is a safety thing as much as anything. We don’t want young drivers handling large vehicles, and we also discourage flashy cars.” The club maintains an old-fashioned pay structure, assigning tasks to players and emphasizing the importance of respect for the pathway. Inglethorpe highlighted the need for young players to earn their privileges and stressed that on-field performance is crucial for advancement.
