A teething period was expected when Arne Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp to Liverpool’s mouth. After all, how could a relatively inexperienced coach of Eredivisie replace Anfield’s Talismanic leader?
Well these fears have been relieved during the Dutch debut season in Merseyside Liverpool After obtaining the title of the Premier League. He has joined a dear cohort of only four foreign coaches for completing his first season in the competition.
But Slot’s success would not have been possible without the foundations positioning its predecessor. Klopp, the only other Liverpool coach who has won the Premier LeagueHe forged an impressive arsenal during his time with the Reds and transformed the club supporters of doubts into believers.
Comparing the two very different coaches and their trips to the glory of the Premier League is not easy, but it is a task that we have done independently.
You cannot win the Premier League without an impressive set, which is very clear. The two winning teams of the Liverpool title have been full of superstarles, with a large amount of crossover between the grandstand. In fact, eight players who made appearances in the league during the 2019/20 campaign – and Caoimhin Kelleher – remain in the current squad, including most of the defensive unit and the irreplaceable Mohamed is wrong.
Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were integral to Liverpool’s first Premier League title, but since then they have been replaced by Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa. Liverpool now has more variety and depth in the final third, even if they are not the attacking juggler who met his FIRD Front Three in Klopp’s time.
The Liverpool midfield is undoubtedly more talented by 2024/25, stacked with technicians instead of the heads of work. There is no longer room for the figures of Jordan Henderson and James Milner, who fight the Wataru Endo, of course, with the class of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai who arrive at the helm.
The defense is almost identical: Ibrahima Konate has replaced Joel Matip – and Alisson still resides among the sticks. This talent spine has been crucial in both positions of the title, although Liverpool proponents offered stronger performances individually in 2019/20.
Generally, the current Liverpool team is more technically competent and has a similar resistance and work rate. They now have more weapons at their disposal than they did five years ago, even if they are a less dominant force.
Liverpool was recognized for his high intensity approach under Klopp. The animated German demanded energy similar to its players on the pitch, which he received in abundance. They drowned their opponents, Harrying defenders and midfielders in regular errors. When the anticipated press passed, there was an aggressive defensive line to quell the opposition forward.
Its breathless approach made wonders, with each COC operating in perfect harmony inside the widest machine. The opponents could not match their work rate or their quality, none of which let go of an impressive campaign.
But, as has been often reflected, Liverpool has adopted a more measured approach under the slot. Dutch is a fierce admirer of Pep GuardiolaSomething that has become more and more evident as the season has remained. Reds still work tirelessly inside and out of possession, establishing traps throughout the pitch, but control is now much more important.
The side of the slot rarely causes their opponents the same way, but they are still able to surprise them, although with possession and order instead of pure explosivity.
Many of the crew Liverpool trusted 2019/20 have still been manufacturers of differences in this term. Alisson has continuously provided crucial interventions. Van Dijk has been challenging the heart of defense. Trent Alexander-Arnold has removed the ropes with its dazzling distribution. But it is Salah who has shown more integral of Liverpool’s success in the slot.
Egyptian has overcome infinity of records While producing figures that played their 29th contributions during the first victory of Liverpool’s title, and has dragged on the Reds in the Crown almost a single hand. If it weren’t for its genius, the campaign could have been very different.
Of course, he had help in 2019/20. Mane and Firmino provided 42 contributions to the league collectively, removing the wide shoulders of Salah. Six other players produced four or more goals to encrypt, but it was more or less the triomvirat forward who was solely responsible for Liverpool’s attacking production.
Liverpool’s undeficious trio on the upper end of the pitch allowed them to be more conservative in the middle field, with the tastes of Henderson, Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum as shields for the four later. With Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister in the engine room, the Back line of four Slot men has offered less protection.
Manchester City They have been the dominant force in English football since the arrival of Guardiola, but two unpleasant seasons for thezezens have opened the door for Liverpool’s success.
The city was the team that surpassed in 2019/20, but Liverpool passed ahead of Guardiola Superstrelles Fatigades with little discomfort. The Reds finished 18 points above their title enemies and the champions defending, with third place in Manchester United an amazing 33 points behind Klopp’s men. Talk about domination.
Liverpool has taken advantage of the low performance of the city this season, but they have had another challenging to overcome. On this occasion, Arsenal has been the side closest to them, and while the reds were long in the driving seat before wrapping the title, the artillers have been a constant presence on the back of their minds.
Certainly ArsenalThat they have finished the runner -up for the last two seasons, have been below the best this term, further widening the gap between them and the upper place. But Liverpool has only been able to overcome what is in front of them and they have done so with application.
Liverpool was definitely stronger under Klopp than they have been in the slot debut period. They accumulated 99 points in 2019/20 and lost only three Premier League games, two of which came after the title was over. They won 26 of their 27 opening games and had all the platforms they won on Christmas.
Although Slot side has been exceptional and still has games to play, they have not been so dominant. Although Liverpool wins all their remaining accessories, they can only manage 94 points, and their success has been less emphatic this time.
But that matters little. It is not how you win the title, but the winner is important, with Liverpool with the addition to celebrate the triumph of this season in front of home fans, which they could not do during the Coronavirus -HIT 2019/20 campaign. This is an unpaid sensation.
