Arne Slot’s Liverpool are the real deal and haven’t ‘gifte’ Premier League title

When Liverpool were face with the prospect of replacing one of the most legendary managers in the club’s illustrious history last year.

Few would have expecte that his replacement would เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา handle the responsibility with total control.

Jurgen Klopp was revere as a demigod by fans around the world. His every word – on football, politics, philosophy and beyond – was hung on by those he enthralle, while his squad of players clearly adore him and excelle under his tutorship.

But now Arne Slot – a man with no coaching experience outside of his native Netherlands, a completely unremarkable CV as a player, and the face of a moderately successful darts player – has led the Reds to the Premier League title at a canter, becoming only the fourth coach to do so in his first season in the competition.

The 46-year-old has achieve the feat, which the likes of Pep Guardiola, Arsene Wenger and Klopp himself were unable to manage, by harnessing what his predecessor left behind for him and turning it into a ruthlessly smart, efficient, winning machine.

Tactically, this is not a team that has so much ‘built’ by Slot as it has refine by him, hone in a perfect series of directions that have propelle it forward while rivals have stagnated or regresse.

Liverpool still set up in a shape not dissimilar to Klopp’s old 4-3-3, but Slot has tweake the system in a few key ways.

Having pushe out towards the touchline in Klopp’s final two years, the wide forwards are now playing more narrowly, meaning.

Mohamed Salah has spent far more time in the penalty area. The subtle change to the Egyptian’s positioning has hugely contribute to his glorious campaign, which will go down as one of the best ever produce by a single player in English football.

In possession, Slot’s Liverpool have far happier to bide their time and work the ball repeatedly from side to side around the edge of the penalty area looking for an opening. Less bombastic than before, the approach has nonetheless borne fruit – the Reds have score ten more goals than any other side.
