How long for this perfection?

14/11/2024, 08:39

BTO - When legendary coach Jurgen Klopp succeeded Arne Slot in the hot seat of Liverpool, the Kop fans doubted whether Arne Slot could replace Jurgen's "shadow." The answer was confirmed after six months of Arne Slot taking charge when Liverpool placed on top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. But how long will this perfect replacement last?

Armed Martijn "Arne" Slot (born on September 17, 1978) is a professional football coach and former football player from the Netherlands. In April 2024, Liverpool Football Club had an agreement with Feyenoord to bring Arne Slot to Anfield as the club's head coach to replace Jurgen Klopp. After the convincing victories of the "Red Brigade" since Arne Slot took over, The Kop is currently "arrogantly" at the top of the table of the two most important fronts - the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. After all, Arne Slot has shown himself to be the perfect replacement for Liverpool legend Jurgen Klopp in the hot seat at Anfield.

Liverpool defeated MU in the Premier League

Before the 2024 - 2025 Premier League began, with Jurgen Klopp leaving, The Kop was not highly rated for the ability to reach the championship. Experts believed that this year's Premier League season was just a two-horse race between Man City and Arsenal. As soon as he took over Liverpool, Slot won his first match with the club in a 2-0 away win against Ipswich Town (on August 17, 2024), a victory that brought a fairly smooth start for the Dutch coach with the "Red Brigade". However, in the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost at home to Nottingham. The defeat seemed like Arne Slot's "era" would quickly fall into crisis, but that did not happen. Liverpool, under Slot's leadership, regained their poise right away; The Kop has been "undefeated" since then. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the two championship candidates, Man City and Arsenal, both stumbled in recent rounds, Arne Slot did not miss the opportunity to help Liverpool break away to lead the Premier League. Under Arne Slot's charge, Liverpool seems to have completely transformed. The players who lost their poise have come back energetically at the end of last season. Although Arne Slot believes that the spirit factor has helped his team to rise, it is clear that through each match, Arne Slot's tactical adjustments have made a difference. With the victory over Aston Villa early this morning, November 10, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool has had 9 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss, reaching 28/33 perfect points, The Kop is proudly standing at the top of the table, 5 points ahead of the 2nd team Man City which hardly expected up to this point. Among the defeated opponents of Liverpool in the Premier League this season are famous names such as MU and Chelsea.

Luis Diaz helped Liverpool defeat Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League

In the UEFA Champions League, when Man City was defeated by Sporting Lisbon, The Kop won a resounding 4-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the 4th round. Thereby, The Kop has 4 wins in the most prestigious tournament on the planet at the club level and is the only team to win all 4 matches in the UEFA Champions League so far. With the above results, Liverpool has set two records. For the first time in history, The Kop won 13/15 first matches of the season on the 2 most important fronts. And it is also the first time they won all 6 first-away matches in the new season. Currently, Liverpool shows that they have not weakened, but they are even more dangerous when coach Jurgen Klopp leads.

So far, it can be affirmed that Arne Slot's start with Liverpool is perfect. But how long can Arne Slot maintain this winning streak for Liverpool so that the fans of the "Red Brigade" can gradually forget the image of Jurgen Klopp? Will Arne Slot write a new history page for Liverpool as well as for himself with the most traditional football team in the Foggy Land? Fans have to wait for time to tell.

A harsh replacement
Erik Ten Hag joined MU in April 2022 and brought high expectations after his success at Ajax. However, after only 30 months, Erik Ten Hag was "kicked out" after the "worst" results in MU's starting season history. Chosen as the interim manager, but Van Gol, like Michael Carrick, was still just a replacement despite his perfect debut in the interim position.
