Ten Hag backs Slot's early promise
Ten Hag is no stranger to Arne Slot, having faced him in the Dutch league when Slot was managing Feyenoord. Now, as Slot takes the reins at Liverpool, Ten Hag has high expectations for his fellow Dutchman. Ten Hag said:
"I think that he’s in quite a good place because the structures are good, the players are good and Klopp football was, of course, very good and very successful. But I’m sure Arne, with his skills, can add to this. There will be elements of Klopp football, but he will bring his own elements in, and if they can bring this together, they have a very good chance to stay very successful."
New tactics and early success for Liverpool under Arne Slot
Slot has already begun implementing new tactics, and the early signs are promising. Liverpool's recent pre-season win against Arsenal in Philadelphia, where they triumphed 2-1, showcased Slot's influence on the team.
Although Arsenal wasn't at full strength, the victory served as a confidence booster for Liverpool's squad and their fans.
One of the standout moments in the match was the performance of young defender Jarell Quansah, who impressed at the heart of the defence. Additionally, Harvey Elliott shined with two excellent assists, further highlighting the potential of Slot's new system.
As Liverpool continues their pre-season tour in the USA, the team appears to be transitioning smoothly under Slot's guidance. The true test will come when the Premier League season kicks off, and Liverpool faces top-tier competition.
For now, Slot has made a positive impression, and fans are hopeful that he can lead the Reds to continued success.
