Origi: We have lots of tactics at Liverpool, but the NFL...!?

Liverpool attacker Divock Origi has stated that American Football is much more tactical than the English Premier League.

Origi spent time with NFL stars Kirk Cousins, quarterback of the Washington Redskins, and Jarvis Landy, wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins, as part of a live tour promoting the four 2017 NFL London Games at Wembley and the Liverpool star has been left amazed by the plethora of tactical plays involved in the American version of football.

Speaking to NFL UK, Origi stated that current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is really focused on tactics but revealed that American football is much more tactical, having recently learned about the sport from Cousins and Landy.

The Belgian said: "We have a lot of tactics at Liverpool, but I think the NFL have even more. They study tactics a little bit differently!

"Klopp focuses a lot on tactics, it's important of course.

"But in this game he puts an accent on playing on our intuition and just enjoying the game. You have to have a good mix.

"I don't have an NFL team yet, but I'm a fresh supporter, so maybe in the future. What I love about the NFL is the aggression, the passion.

"Americans really love their sport and NFL is special to watch."
