As he contemplated the season’s upcoming season, Liverpool manager Arne Slot claimed on Friday that winning the Premier League title at Anfield was one of the best times of his life.
With four games to go, the Reds won the record-breaking 20th English league title by defeating Tottenham 5-1 on Sunday, basking in the sensational atmosphere at their packed home base.
“One of the best days of their lives, for many of them, and I think it was the same for me,” said Slot, “perhaps for all Liverpool fans.”
“The way the day went, when we arrived at the stadium, how passionate the fans were,” the stadium’s entrance reportedly said, “Oh, they’re not going to give it to us, we have to work for it.”
For me, being a part of the scoring the goals and understanding what they meant to the players and the fans was really special.
Liverpool travel to Chelsea on Sunday before facing Arsenal, Brighton, and Crystal Palace in their final games.
“It’s nice that we play some very strong teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Palace,” Slot, 46, said, “That presents immediate challenge to those games.”
The season is over, but we also need to consider whether this marks the start of the new year.
Even though Liverpool won 2-1, the Dutchman said he was surprised by the 22-point gap between his team and Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, who he believed were the better team when they met in October.
We were the better team on the pitch, he said, and we found a way to win, which is something we didn’t need a lot.
However, in that game, perhaps, we had to endure more suffering than in any other game. Therefore, everyone at this club is greatly appreciative of having so many points ahead of them.
In the final games of the season, the former Feyenoord boss announced that he would switch teams.
Because of their excellent training, some of them “deserved to play” already this season, he said. I primarily chose the same players despite the fact that they are good enough to play for this club.
“And I believe that this also provides a glimpse of where they are, with some eyes already on the upcoming season.” But unquestionably because they deserve to participate this year.
Slot predicted that Liverpool’s success in the Premier League would boost recruitment.
With the fans that we have, he said, “I think winning the league makes each player we want to bring in a lot, and that’s definitely helpful.”
Although Virgil van Dijk, the club’s captain, and Mohamed Salah, the top scorer, have recently signed new contracts to stay at Liverpool, Slot claimed Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is still being linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, is still unannounced.
