Out nowPep Lijnders launches new book 'Intensity' at special Anfield event

A small number of Reds supporters, along with competition winners, were invited to attend the launch on the eve of the book’s highly-anticipated official release.

Fans were present for an in-depth Q&A – hosted by The Anfield Wrap’s John Gibbons – ahead of a book signing and meet and greet with Lijnders himself.

“The tricky thing is that we didn’t know how it would end,” the Dutchman told supporters.

“You guys read it and you know how it ends, so OK, we won the League Cup, won the FA Cup [and] played the maximum games in the season possible. To play all these games with the fans together, they will forever live with us.

“I wrote every day about everything. Hopefully it ended up being a nice thing for the fans.”

He later added: “[The book] is the best thing I ever did in my life from a coaching point of view.”
