Since Arne Slot’s managerial takeover at Liverpool, his name has become a buzzword among football fans and analysts. The Dutchman has enjoyed a stellar beginning to his tenure, thanks to the Anfield squad’s performances.
Liverpool reigns supreme at the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings this season. Their sole loss in English football occurred against Nottingham Forest in September, yet they remain unbeaten in Europe’s most prestigious football competition.
Securing the third position in the top-tier English League last season marked the end of Klopp’s tenure with the English giants. Now, Slot and his team have established themselves as one of the prime contenders to win the coveted Premier League title this season.
Slot applauds the gameplay of Jurgen Klopp
Speaking to TNT Sports, the new Liverpool manager expressed his liking for playing high-press football which his new side was already playing under their former boss. Moreover, Slot also presented his choice of playing high-scoring game which aligns with his team’s already-built mindset.
I got to inherit a team that did really well last season and for so many seasons before so there was not a reason to change a lot of things just keep the things that they do really well. In general, I think what Jurgen’s team liked to do and what I liked to do as well is press really high sometimes a bit different in formation but the idea is same and we both like to score goals.
Arne Slot
Given Slot’s tenure at his previous club Feyenoord, he has been outstanding throughout. He secured an Eredivisie title and finished in second place last season.
Highlighting Slot’s commencement with his present team, the Reds have soared on the prowess of their key players such as Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo, who have been wreaking havoc with their exceptional performances.
Although this season may end positively for the English Club, the upcoming summer transfer window will pose a significant challenge for their new manager.
Star players such as Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are reportedly close to exiting the club, which would present a significant challenge in filling their roles given the club’s heavy reliance on their contributions.
