Speaking after the game, Slot revealed his admiration for the work done by his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp. He praised the German’s achievements, stating that the cultural foundation laid by Klopp is still evident today. This sentiment is reflected in Liverpool’s continued ability to find success under Slot’s tenure.
"I inherited a team, a club that was already fully focused on hard work and trying to get the best out of the team and individuals every single day," Slot said in his post-match interview.
"We wouldn’t say I was surprised by that, but it was nice to see that it was just like Jürgen told me, because he told me that that was the culture and I experienced this from the start."
Slot’s comments highlight the incredible work done by Klopp and his coaching staff during his time at Anfield. The German’s legacy can be seen in the hunger and dedication of the team, which has been key to their success under the new manager.
In an era where managerial appointments often spark controversy, Slot has made a remarkable start. His ability to adapt and evolve has been impressive, and his tactical decisions have been spot on. Under his guidance, Liverpool may just be the team to beat in the Champions League this season.
