Pep Ljinders has outlined how Liverpool's youngsters will crack into the first-team.
The Reds assistant says talent must be met with tactical discipline and attitude for the likes of Curtis Jones, Rhian Brewster and Harvey Elliot.
"Curtis is a boy from the city and all these boys from the city in the Academy, they have so much passion and they have so much ambition as well," Lijnders said.
"So, playing for us, for example take the Tottenham game.
"Everybody speaks [about that] we had the most shots on target, the best in two years, we were constantly in the opposition half, playing, creating, crossing. But the difference was made in the 30 per cent we didn't have the ball, that's why we were able to play there.
"So, how we were protected constantly, how our concentration and intensity was when we lost the ball. Our front three defended six players of Tottenham constantly, non-stop, for 95 minutes and these young boys, they have to make that step.
"Other games it was say 55 per cent or 48 per cent [possession] or whatever, but the difference in this game, all the attention goes to the offensive part but the difference is made, the only way we can be this offensive, is the defensive attitude.
"The tactical discipline of our three midfielders, how they always close the centre and put pressure on to help our front three, was unbelievable.
"Our last line a high line controlling Son and Kane constantly, that's not easy, to have a high line and control their movements! And at the same time the focus of the last line to also be protected constantly help the ball circle from left to right
"What I'm trying to say is that these boys all have talent, they are all creative. They are so good on the ball they probably sleep with the ball!
"But to make the next step it's about how good are you in that 30 per cent? Can you defend those six players of the opposition? That attitude, that's Liverpool FC because our identity is intensity."
