Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reveals Andy Robertson is ‘awful’ at one particular training drill

Andy Robertson is one of the best left-backs in the world right now, but according to former Liverpool teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he is ‘awful’ and ‘disgusting to watch’ in one particular training drill.

Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Liverpool in 2017 in the same summer as Robertson, and the pair have gone onto achieve great things at Anfield. This includes the Premier League title, the Champions League, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup.

Sadly for the midfielder, his time with the club was badly affected by injuries and earlier this summer he departed the Reds upon the expiry of his contract and he has now joined Turkish giants Besiktas.

During the 30-year-old’s time with the club, he played with some of the best players in the world, including Robertson who is regarded as perhaps the best left-back in the game right now.

What is a Rondo Training Drill?

A rondo is a training drill which involves a group of players passing the ball around a circle while one player attempts to win it back. It is used to help improve a team’s passing and ball control, as well as their decision making and movement off the ball.

Andy Robertson is ‘Disgusting to Watch’ in a Rondo

However, Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed that the Scotland captain is not all he’s built up to be, at least when it comes to the rondo training drill.

‘Yeah, he’s possibly the worst I’ve ever played with in a rondo,’ the former England star said on the Tubes and Ange Golf Life YouTube channel.

‘You watch him in a rondo… I don’t know how he’s so good at football. Honestly, it’s disgusting to watch. And I’ll say that with chest on camera.

‘Honestly, I say it to him all the time. He’ll admit it, he’s awful in a rondo!

‘His hips don’t move great, so anything that’s a stretch, he’s falling over. He’s just not nice in a rondo! No flair about him in a rondo.’
