Liverpool Fans Freak Out Over Arne Slot’s Mind-Bending Corner Routine
In a stunning display of innovation, Liverpool fans went wild as Arne Slot debuted a brand-new corner routine against Arsenal in the teams’ friendly match on Wednesday. The Reds ultimately emerged 2-1 winners, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Fabio Carvalho, while Kai Havertz scored for the Gunners.
The drama unfolded as Kostas Tsimikas prepared to deliver the corner kick, with Liverpool players forming a giant cluster on the edge of the penalty area before scattering into various positions as Tsimikas took his aim. Curtis Jones got his chance to score, but was denied after a foul on the Arsenal goalkeeper.
Reaction was immediate and varied on social media. "Our new set piece routine! I might actually enjoy corners now!" one fan exclaimed, while another tweeted, "Slot bringing over the silly strats from Feyenoord! We’ve won, next, we’re going to be deciding free kick takers with rock-paper-scissors to confuse the opposition!" Another fan joked, "We’re going to score 50 goals this season from corners alone!"
While not everyone was convinced, praising the strategy and its potential impact. As Slot put it in a post-match interview, "You should always aim to win, even in friendlies… and that’s exactly what we did tonight. Of course, I was more pleased about the way we defended in the second half." Liverpool’s next challenge lies in a weekend match against Manchester United, a real test of their defensive prowess.
