Slott: The pre-match arrangement of 3-0 away defeat to Manchester United made me conquer Liverpool players

The online media "Sports" team reporter Pierce interviewed Liverpool coach Slott, and the excerpt of the excerpt that impressed me was shared with you:

1: Talk about the similarities and differences between my team's styles with my ex-Klopp

Until now, even after I took a season, the team's counterattack speed is still so fast, but we have never trained in this aspect this season. So not everything changes, but a few things we have to change, we can adjust quickly because many things don’t require much attention.

2: Talking about the 3-0 away defeat to Manchester United this season

Recently, the Dutch media asked me, which game has allowed you to completely win the trust of Liverpool players? I think it's this game because we made some small tactically.

Before the game, I told the players that Manchester United would expect Sobosloy to play on the right side of the midfield, and they would prepare for this all week, but I would let Sobosloy play on the left side, and then we would make some adjustments like this. As it turns out, what I said came true.

Did we win that game for this reason? No. We had two counterattack goals, maybe three, but that day the players realized: "Oh, what he told us worked!" Being able to win 3-0 at Old Trafford gave us a lot of confidence, and believe that there might be something special waiting for us.

3: Talking about Salah

in the next two seasons, he may not be able to maintain his super high goal and assist efficiency this season. Of course, I hope he can, but it is not necessary. Even if he scored fewer goals and assists, it was still a great season. But I know him and he will work hard to achieve better performance.

4: Talking about 2-1 reversal of Brighton, not losing his temper in the locker room when he was behind in the halftime

I think in a season, if you always lose your temper at halftime, like 15 to 20 times, that wouldn't help. You have to save these moments until the moments that really matter. In the nineteenth of a day, I will only get angry when I feel that the team lacks the fighting spirit. For example, we were at home against Southampton (March), and I was very angry that day! I might be a little angry at halftime against Ipswich.

The game against Brighton is not necessary because the players have worked hard, but the opponent's tactics are different from what we expected. That's why we can't work in oppression. Rather than being angry, it’s better to adjust. Overall, this team is always working very hard. The same is true for my children. If they don't work hard, I'll be very strict with them. But if they study hard and things don't go well in school, or something else goes wrong, I will never be harsh on them.

5: At the time of the away game, the Merseyside derby, we felt that we lost a very important 2 points. Looking back now, we have to thank referee Oliver (sometimes a bit long), because the last-minute goal meant that we could win the championship at our own home court (versus Tottenham).

6: Talking about 2-0 away wins Manchester City, letting Jones and Sobosloy play the double 10 number on the front line. Do you think this is your perfect tactic?

No, because we had to defend for a long time that game, I prefer us to have more possession of the ball. So for me, one of the best games is home vs. Paris (the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals), we were completely suppressed by the opponent a week ago, and at Anfield, it can't be said to be a 180-degree turn, but the scene is completely different. When you do something that can change a game so much, it feels very special.

Of course this is not just my credit, but our fans, and their atmosphere is incredible. We have always been in the initiative and should have won the game but lost in the penalty shootout. Maybe we didn't win because we were so lucky in the first round. Tactically speaking, that game made me think every time I recall it, “We did a really good job.”

8: Talking about defeating Tottenham to secure the Premier League championship, many people say it was the best day they have ever had at Anfield.

This is probably what makes me most proud of. It may be the highest level you can reach when the club has worked for so long, or have been a Liverpool fan for so long, and can do something more special to them than anything else when the club has achieved such great success before. Even a calm and composed person like me will be excited about it.

9: What would it be if you chose a favorite moment on that day?

It should be that when we arrived at the stadium by bus, all the fans were singing "Now you have to believe us, we will win the league championship." Whenever I think of this, I feel a little moved. Another moment was when they started playing the song "Freed From Desire" after the game. I looked around and everyone loved the song, it was so fun, thanks to the DJ.

10: Talking about whether you have more ambitions for the future to win this season?

Yes, because we are working hard every day, trying to get better and better. Once you've experienced it once, you'll think, "It would be great if I could do it again, because I forgot to enjoy this moment or that moment". The cup-holding moments and parades will be very special, and then we go on vacation, and maybe everyone will feel like: "I want to experience it again, twice or three times".
