Slot thanks Klopp moments after Liverpool win title

Jurgen Klopp was the predecessor of Liverpool manager Arne Slot moments after his side won the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated the Reds 5-1 on Sunday at Anfield to claim their 20th top-flight title, making Slot the first Dutch coach to do so.

It feels fantastic,” he said. I don’t believe I should say a lot. Jurgen Klopp is the only thing that needs to be acknowledged right now, according to Slot, who took over as Liverpool manager last summer.

After his final game in May, Klopp asked Liverpool fans to sing a rendition of the song, but he switched the words “Arne Slot” and “Jurgen Klopp.”

He told BBC Match of the Day that he was 99.9% certain that Jurgen would send a message to my phone at any time.

The two of us have made contact at numerous times throughout the season. By introducing himself, I believe he demonstrated what a wonderful person he is in the previous season.

The team he left behind that was able to capture the trophy, however, was what most important.

Few, not the least of whom, anticipated that Slot would lead a successful title winning streak at Anfield during his first season, not least the manager.

We had a difficult spell at Manchester City that they haven’t had in five years, he said, and maybe it helped.

We would have been content with the top four when the season first started. However, I don’t believe that is fair to the players because they are far superior to that and have shown it this year.

Spurs took a surprise lead at Anfield thanks to Dominic Solanke, but Slot had no doubts that his side would turn things around.

Everyone could tell that we were never going to lose this game, he said on BBC Match of the Day.

Before and during the game, the fans were extremely patient. You still believed this team and the fans could get it over the line even with a 1-0 deficit.

He continued, “They always find a way to win.” I’m incredibly proud of the players, as well as the spectators, the sport directors, and my staff members. We should give them a lot of applause.

Five years ago, Liverpool won the Premier League, but there were no fans at Anfield as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

A first title win in front of supporters since 1990 is unique for both fans and players.

Mohamed Salah told BBC Sport, “It’s special to win it at Anfield, and it’s very hard to describe.”

Everyone wanted Palace to finish it at Arsenal on Wednesday, but I’m glad we did it here because I know what Anfield is like.

It completely differs from the title of 2020. The emotion is incredible. To be here five years later is incredible, but lockdown and the pandemic were the first.

This is “100% better than the previous one,” Salah told Sky Sports.

Liverpool’s first non-British captain to win a top flight title, Virgil van Dijk, praised the team’s supporters.

Van Dijk stated to Sky Sports, “I was desperate to win it for them [the fans], all the fans all over the world, and for us as well.”

Andy Robertson, who won the 2019-20 title with his second team, is only the third Scotsman to have won more than one Premier League title after Darren Fletcher and Brian McClair.

He told Sky Sports, “The last time we won the league in 2020 was a strange moment.”

The way we handled it was special. You can’t beat what we experienced today, of course, but we did enjoy it. Nothing can match that.

It is unique, I said. When I first arrived at this club, I quickly realized how talented Scottish players were. That places a little pressure on you. I’m glad I was able to carry that forward.

Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder who won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina before joining Liverpool in 2023, has had a remarkable few years.

He said it was “absolutely special” to win the World Cup and now the Premier League.

“But my team-mates wouldn’t be able to do it without me.” Just one piece of the puzzle, I am. The last two years have been incredibly productive for this team.

Salah has been sensational despite much of the uncertainty surrounding his future hanging over him this season.

His 28th goal of the season came on Sunday in the 63rd minute, and he has added 18 for his team-mates.

It is truly incredible. Salah stated in BBC Match of the Day that winning the Premier League and having the impact I’ve had are incredible.

This title [feels] more unique to me. Although [Jurgen]Klopp] and other players I respect a lot are not present, working with a new manager and a new team shows what I can do.

Although Salah has committed his future to the club with a new two-year contract earlier this month, it will not be easy to defend their title.

People anticipate that things will get easier, but now it will be difficult because other teams will catch us and make it harder for him [Slot],” he said.

The second season was much harder even during my time here.

“I think the year ahead and the next season will be fantastic, for sure.”

Slot shared the optimism of his favorite celebrity.

He told BBC Match of the Day, “That is something we are going to try to defend the title.”
