OUR IDENTITY IS INTENSITY, declares Liverpool FC assistant-manager Pep Lijnders in this compelling account of the 2021/22 season, and from the very first chapter he takes us on a footballing thrill-ride we will never forget.

Liverpool’s blistering brand of football has revived a sleeping giant, energised its vast army of fans, entertained crowds at home and all over the world, and redefined coaching excellence.

Now Pep tells the inside story of a season which, even by LFC standards, has been truly sensational.

Week by week as the drama unfolds it’s all here: from pre-season to unforgettable finale; great goals and gruelling schedules; passionate team-talks and personal reflections; unsung heroes and Kop idols; the pride and the passion, the joy and the heartache… and the fun.

In his own engaging and inspiring style, Pep takes readers behind-the-scenes at Anfield, the AXA Training Centre and the team hotel; on the pitch, in the dugout and back in the dressing-room away from the media glare. In forming a ‘one-club’ mentality, Jurgen Klopp, Lijnders and co have also created countless modern memories for the LFC family, and this unique book chronicles their legacy.

It’s an unprecedented account of a season at an elite football club from one of the game’s most thoughtful students.
