Arne Slot, the head coach of the Premier League side, is gearing up for a significant challenge as his team prepares to face Liverpool in the upcoming Merseyside derby. Slot acknowledges that the recent international break was exactly what he needed to refresh his squad ahead of the final nine matches of the season. Since taking office in January, Slot has presided over an impressive nine-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. He hasn’t won at Anfield yet, drawing seven and losing one of 21 tries in all competitions.
The subsequent international break gave Slot’s players a chance to recharge. Most of them didn’t play this past weekend, providing a nice window for rest and recuperation. He said this respite was especially welcomed following a pair of frustrating results. “It was my first time playing during the winter and it was awesome!” Slot enthused. “I think I deeply, personally needed this break,” he said, looking back on the timing of the sabbatical.
Slot is convinced his players have come back feeling more rejuvenated than they might have had they stayed on for a normal international break. This new-found enthusiasm might very well prove important as they seek to end one of the most bizarre streaks in club history, that of never winning at Liverpool. Head coach Brian Kelly is certainly hoping to end that run. He is undoubtedly motivated to have his most successful day in the face of a team that has regularly given his former teams fits.
“To be retained at your club you have to win your next game,” Slot went on. “In clubs, he said, there’s a lot of repetition, players get used to the routine. But as his players proved magnificently on the grand stage of world competitions. Slot reflected on the excellent play from Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo as they helped earn their national teams wins and points during international play.
Football clubs don’t come much tougher than Liverpool, who are winning every week in their title pursuit. Slot’s previous track record against them adds even more pressure to his current campaign. Slot has had a hard time in the slot against various teams. With Liverpool he’s endured winless runs against Everton, Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham.
Slot has his players ready for a high-intensity battle against Sheriff. He’s well aware that to defeat Liverpool will be the second greatest achievement of his coaching career. I couldn’t have given a shit about the record, he announced proudly. Don’t get me wrong, I want them to win, and I’ll do all I can to prepare for victory at Anfield.
