Arne Slot with “innovation” at Liverpool, fans are left surprised

With Liverpool’s new coach, Arne Slot, new working methods have arrived at Anfield, and many were surprised when they saw the unusual equipment the goalkeepers use during training.

Photos of the Reds’ goalkeeper wearing strange glasses during training have been published, and an explanation of what they are for quickly followed.

Specifically, the glasses brought in by Slot’s team are intended to improve the goalkeepers’ reactions, hand-eye coordination, and technical skills by reducing the amount of sensory input, meaning the amount of information taken in during training.

The glasses are produced by the American company Swivel Vision, and they limit the user’s peripheral vision, forcing them to follow auditory signals.

Fundamentally, the glasses were produced with the idea of making it as challenging as possible for the goalkeeper to reach the ball during training, so that this task would be easier during matches.

By the way, last night (Friday), Liverpool played a preparatory match “behind closed doors” and was defeated 1-0 by the Preston team, which competes in the Championship.

Liverpool will play their first official match on August 17, when they host the newly arrived Ipswich Town in the first round of the Premier League.
