Liverpool fullback Enrique convinced of success under Rodgers

Jose Enrique is convinced the methods of Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will bring success.

The Spaniard is also a keen fan of the way Rodgers has drilled it into his players that they must press the ball high up the field.

"The manager wants us to press really high," he explained to liverpoolfc.com. "This makes it uncomfortable for other teams. Against Manchester City, they were forced to concede possession even when they had many options around them, because of our pressure.

"It's hard for us as well because everyone has to be really, really fit because you have to press and you have to run more when you don't have the ball than when you do have possession. It's definitely harder but we are professionals and you have to do it.

"But this is what we want because this is the way Barcelona play and they are the best team in the world. They try to press really high and then keep the ball and this will really frustrate the other team. If we can play like this, we can win many games."
