Ian Rush reveals unique thing he's noticed when watching Liverpool players train

Ian Rush has provided an insight in Liverpool's training sessions and says he has noticed something quite unique - perhaps something behind their recent success.

The Reds are on course to win a first Premier League title this season, should Manchester City slip up from now until the end of the campaign.

Liverpool are also competitive in the Champions League, showing just how far they have progressed over the past ten years since Jurgen Klopp took the reins.

Club legend Rush watches the first team train from time to time, and has revealed in an interview with Sky Sports something unusual that caught his eye.

"I've been to training sessions and I've seen Liverpool players laughing and joking between things but when they're working, they work," said Rush.

"And when they have a break, they are talking to each other, they are enjoying being with each other, they put their arms around each other and that comes from the manager."

He is yet to taste success at Liverpool, but has moved increasingly closer to it with each season he has been in charge of the Anfield giants.
