Liverpool legend Slote talked about Liverpool coach Slote in an interview and said that the coach brought a new breath to the "Red Army".
After Klopp, who coached Liverpool for 9 years, left the team, Sloter from the Netherlands officially coached Liverpool in June last year. Despite facing many doubts, Sloter still led Liverpool to overcome many difficulties in the 2024/25 Premier League season and successfully won the Premier League championship 4 rounds ahead of schedule.
Liverpool legend Gerrard said in an interview, "It's incredible. He has done an incredible job to take over the job of a meritorious coach like Klopp and integrate seamlessly into the team. And from a tactical point of view, he has brought fresh air to the team. Winning the league championship in his first year as coach is an amazing achievement, so congratulations to him."
It is worth mentioning that the 32-year-old Salah contributed 29 goals and 18 assists to Liverpool in the 2024/25 Premier League, directly winning both the Golden Boot and Assist Awards.
Gerrard said, "From the data, his performance is very stable. He scores for Liverpool every season. We all know his professional attitude, his full commitment and talent, and his desire for continuous improvement. I have full confidence in him."
On the other hand, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson reflected on the challenges of the past season and said, "For me personally, there was a difficult period this season because of injuries. Not only this season, but also last season. It's always difficult to face such problems."
“But the team has performed very well throughout the season, which makes me more focused on returning healthy as soon as possible, because I am looking forward to playing alongside such a wonderful team. We started the season with humility. Everyone knows that changing the coach will be a huge challenge, and we hope to do something special in the first season under the new coach.”
"But it was through great desire and passion that we achieved this, played some fantastic football and did something great and very difficult, which is winning the Premier League," Alisson said.
"We didn't change much in the beginning and Sloter was very smart. He could see how well we did during Klopp's time. He was also very brave and smart. He pointed out where we could improve while respecting the past. He maximized the potential of the players and even improved some players who were already at a high level. I think this is one of the important reasons why we were able to win the Premier League."
In addition, Alisson also emphasized, "Winning the Premier League is a great achievement and we are very happy about it. It is not easy to do this in the first season of changing the coach. This is a huge achievement for the team."
