The bar was high. He said it in his first press conference in England. Jürgen Klopp I had returned to Liverpool in the foreground of world footballwinning the first league in 30 years, reaching three finals of the Champions League and winning one of them. Arduous task that presented Arne Slot. Arrived as a great stranger after the club tantarara to Xabi Alonso… The Dutch did not wrinkle and approved with very good note.
Legendary trainers in Anfield never succeeded. Technicians worshiped in The Kop, idolized, such as Rafa Benítez or Brendan Rogers, did not win any league with the Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp cost five years. His successor, Arne Slot, succeeded at the first exchange. The third coach in the club's history to win the league in his premiere campaign. The previous ones had left the lower categories of Liverpool, but the Dutch landed in England after winning the League with Feyenoord. It arrived last summer. He observed, did not make changes, and defeated. He received a machine that worked perfectly, and was content to make a couple of settings. Without ego, aware. There was no signing of great caliber, there was no great outlay. The club trusted Slot, and Slot in the template found in Anfield.
His team did not lose an apex of verticality. Intense and forceful. Heavy metal. He did not take a false step during a campaign that was intuited transient, but that will remain in the memory of the fans of Liverpool. Slot took over, and the city bathed by the Mersey River celebrated having a league champion team. The second Premier League in its history since the new format was established in 1992. The first with the full stands, making the celebrations of 2020 good, when the Reds soccer players held the league title in an empty stadium due to the measures of the Covid-19 pandemic. They had to imagine all the people, as one of the prodigal children of the city, John Lennon, sang.
They took the thorn, but it was not a path of roses. Although after the first half of the season the Reds were favorites in each of the competitions in which he participated. But the Plymouth, second, got it out of the FA Cup. The Newcastle beat him in the final of the League Cup. And more recently, The PSG hurt Liverpool againeliminating it in the round of 16 of the Champions League. He staggered slightly, but never lost his way in the Premier League. Dominant. Excelsos. With hunger and with mordant. With authority. Losing only two games in the first 34 Premier League days. With players at the height, capable of making a difference. Although none of the importance of the Pharaoh of Anfield.
Salah has not imported the change of coach. It has been crucial with Slot, as it was with Klopp. Maximum Premier League scorer, also leads the Department of Assistance in the English League. With a wide margin in the absence of four days. His effort was awarded with a new contract. Van Dijk signed another. The only uncertainty is that of Alexander-Arnold, who seems to have one foot at Santiago Bernabéu. That of the canterano and lateral is the only doubt of Liverpool for the future. A promising future for accounts of the impact of Slot on the Anfield bench in his first campaign. The Klopp inherited team was his. And on Sunday he picked up the fruits of a model transition. Confirmation Sunday of a team that walks with a firm step. With slot in front.
