Liverpool assistant Peter Krawietz has revealed he used the three-month coronavirus break to make sure the team remain formidable next season.
The Reds are in the final week of the season and will soon switch their focus to defending their Premier League title next season.
Krawietz says he has already begun the task of keeping Liverpool on top next season, revealing that he has spotted 'something fundamental' that Jurgen Klopp can use to his advantage.
"Above all, I reflected on our work processes, thought about our game and documented it," Krawietz told Goal.com and SPOX.
"I looked at a series of two or three games in great detail. Sometimes I spent several days with a game: rewinding and fast forward and thinking about in detail why which situations happened.
"From this, something fundamental has now emerged that we want to use in the coming months.
"It's mainly about details and small adjustments around our game principles.
"I've been trying, so to speak, to turn ideas into insights so that we can take the next small step."
Liverpool's rivals are plotting how to close the gap on them next season and Krawietz says he has been impressed by the progress both Chelsea and Arsenal have made under new managers this season.
He said: "I see first and foremost some teams that are in the process of developing their footballing skills. What has happened at Chelsea over the course of the season makes it clear that they will be a really good side.
"Arsenal, too, despite the difficult season, have already seen that they will benefit from the work under Mikel Arteta in the future.
"Or Brighton: although they were in the relegation battle, they still took a very football-oriented approach to the game.
"As a coach, I think it's really cool when you follow your plan so consistently, even if the results don't come straight away."
