Jurgen Klopp, during his time as Liverpool manager, led the team to victory in both the Premier League and the Champions League, making him one of the most successful managers in Liverpool’s history. After Klopp stepped down, Liverpool invited Slot to take over. In an interview with British media, Slot said: “Our overall thoughts on how to play are very similar, so the players will find it easier to accept my footballing philosophy.”
Slot also said: “Klopp was known for his high-intensity approach at Liverpool, willing to take every opportunity to attack behind the opposition’s defense in a faster and more direct way. This meant that the games could be very open. But I advocate for a more conservative and cautious approach to handling the ball. When you get the chance, you can definitely go for a more direct and quick approach, but if the opportunity isn’t that good, holding onto the ball is also a good option. So, I will tell the players that they need to learn to read the game and find a balance between reward and risk.”
In the first round of the Premier League this season, Liverpool won 2-0 away to newly promoted Ipswich, with Salah scoring a goal and an assist. He is in good form. In the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool will face Brentford at Anfield. This game is not only Liverpool’s first home game of the season, but also the first official game that Slot will be in charge of at Anfield.
Slot said: “The atmosphere at Anfield is undeniable. Our goal is to create a style of play that the fans will appreciate. If the fans see the style of play they appreciate, they will be more engaged, and that will help the team in turn.”
