The most influential members of Brendan Rodgers' backroom staff at Liverpool have been revealed: it's the players' mothers.
Brendan Rodgers' ascent as the most cringe-inducing manager in the Premier League shows no signs of slowing after young Reds midfielder Joao Teixeira – currently on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion – revealed how his manager chose to motivate the squad during last season's title run in:
As quoted by The Sun, Teixeira said:
"During the title run-in, we had team meetings before the bus left for the stadium.
He used to read out a letter from each player's mother. Brendan's not a negative guy. He's always positive."
Let the Rodgers x Brent comparisons continue.
