Can you watch liverpool train at melwood




















We were then guided to the next area, the Boot Room, the area the players come to from the training room in order to collect their boots and kit, ready for their training session. Whilst training, the players are monitored whilst wearing a sports vest with GPS, this data is collated and sent back to the physio room, who will go on to report to Brendan Rodgers.

One group being shown around Melwood was lucky enough to bump into Brendan Rodgers in this area, who then showed his class by greeting every single member of the group, and shaking their hands! All-in-all, Melwood was an absolutely delightful experience, and reflects even further the true class of Liverpool Football Club. For further information please go to www. Music See all.

In January , the club started work on the Millennium Pavilion, a modern facility for players and coaches, with further developments and investment year on year ensuring the facilities and equipment within remained the best possible and making Melwood what it is today.

Following the club's departure, Torus intends to redevelop the site into a modern, multi-generational housing complex that will meet the current and future needs of local residents by building a variety of house types that will be available via affordable rented and homeownership options, such as Shared Ownership, with an emphasis on meeting the needs of older and vulnerable people.
