Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had the Liverpool anthem, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, blasted across the club’s training pitches in north London, in an effort to prepare his players for a visit to Anfield.
The bizarre preparation is just one of the off-the-wall methods Arteta has employed to focus the minds of his young squad before crunch fixtures.
In other unconventional moves, the Gunners’ manager has asked players to hold hands to feel the energy of their team mates and brought in the club photographer to give the team talk.
The novel approaches have been revealed in the Amazon Prime, All of Nothing docu-series, which will start streaming on Thursday.
