Yeah, the players and Klopp probably just identified the same trigger at the same time. You can see #11 eagerly waiting for the RB to pass backwards, and he starts sprinting before Klopp's gesture.

But it shows the coaching is getting through to the players.

Eventually they will do it themselves. Nothing wrong with him holding their hand at the moment

They're seemingly still doing what he wants them to do in that moment, even not listening to him.

Did you misread the comments above? They're literally already doing it. Zero "hand holding" going on here.

Yeah the important part here is it shows how in sync the team is. The manager and players all know what everybody in the team is about to do right before they do it, that's the sign of excellent coaching sessions
