Some people frowned. Or some people scratch their heads wondering. Who is this person?
This information will be shared with you. Compiled from three media outlets: The Telegraph, The Athletic and This is Anfield.

In the same period, Klopp’s Liverpool scored 706 attempts (2nd), Manchester City followed with 700 and Bayern Munich with 661.
…
Creating opportunities from the opposition’s lost possessions, Klopp said there was no better way to create moments than to use effective counter-pressing tactics.
Liverpool are a team that are so good when not in possession that they are a secret weapon in attack and defense.
As for Slot’s Feyenoord, they are considered the team that transformed the opponent’s loose ball into a moment when their own team scored the most. If we only count teams from the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1 and Dutch Eredivisie, this number was 201 times.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are ranked 4th on this table from 182 appearances.
In addition, Feyenoord is the team which scores the most goals once morest its opponents losing the ball in their own half with 29 goals, Liverpool is at 17 goals.
And if since the start of the 2021-22 season, Feyenoord and Liverpool are the two teams who have scored the same number of goals from long throws in the league with 19 goals.

To push the defense up (High Line) or to put pressure on the opponent in high areas, the defender must compress the space behind the midfielder and the attackers well.
Of course, there was a chance to give the opponent plenty of space in defense, but Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk both handled that well.
A way to gauge how high the defense pushes or how aggressively they play. is to look at the early stages of the game It measures where this team starts the game from an open play on the field.
Since 2021, Feyenoord and Liverpool have started matches 44.9 and 44.6 meters from the pitch respectively.
Among the teams in the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie, only Manchester City started their match in a higher zone than these two teams.
Additionally, Liverpool had 10 or more ball connections in the game than Feyenoord on Slots.
And Liverpool have an average of 9.7 defensive touches per defensive play, while Feyenoord’s is 10.4, showing that both teams are equally aggressive in pressuring their opponents when they are not in control. ball.

As of the 2021/22 season, Liverpool are the team that scores the 3rd most goals in the top 5 European leagues (plus the Dutch league) with 244 goals.
Feyenoord is behind Liverpool with 234 goals.

If it is really true, Liverpool hope that Slots will show good potential to lead the team to score a lot of goals. In order to be able to compete with Manchester City

Slot has only been with the first team for five years but has been compared to having a similar style to Marcelo Bielsa.
He likes the full-backs to push higher and the centre-backs to move further out to the sides.
It’s easy to see why slots have caught the attention of many teams.
He led the team to the Europa Conference League final in his first season with the club, winning the Eredivisie in his second and the KNVB Cup in C. The third time
In the summer of last year he was identified as the favorite to take over at Tottenham and, despite keen interest from Slot, Feyenoord technical director Dennis ter Close is working hard at the club on the assumption that he will not lose his place.

Managing Liverpool is a job that requires you to be competent in almost every aspect.
You cannot meet just one qualification. It must have exceptional properties in many areas. This side also depends on having a good personality.
Sky Sports described Slot as “approachable, polite, always smiling, well-mannered, charming and funny”.
“He certainly has a blast with his teammates,” said Dennis van Ersel, a journalist for Dutch media outlet RTV.
“But he will also be able to hug his teammates with love. They love him because he brings harmony within the club.
To clear any doubts regarding the language, Slots speaks English fluently. And when there was news from Tottenham last year, he gave an interview regarding his future plans like this.
“My next job will not be managing a team in Netherlands”
“If that’s the case, then I have completely failed.” If all goes well, my next job will be working abroad. And I’ve always said the Premier League is the best league in the world.”

Nowadays it seems that modern coaches have to work with their team under certain conditions. -The team must play attractively, be energetic. and mainly focuses on offensive plays –
But if the person who is the manager can also lead the team to win the championship. This is considered to have a more positive effect on him by default.
Slot machines also fall into this category. Because last season he led Feyenoord to win the league championship for the second time in the last 20 seasons. Additionally, they only lost 2 league matches throughout the said season.
Most of the time, Slots will play the team in a 4-2-3-1 system, emphasizing possession of the ball, using two central midfielders to advance the play from the center once morest the rival’s first line of defense.
He also lets his team try to control the ball in the opponent’s half and apply high pressure. Including making sure the team finishes strong.
All of this shows that the 45-year-old has what it takes to succeed without spending too much.
This will be a quality that will attract the attention of FSG and its team strategy.
Feyenoord have never spent more than €8 million on a single player.
They have higher incomes than two of their league rivals, PSV and Ajax, who are polar opposites of each other. Under Feyenoord’s management approach, Slots is showing his strengths by getting his team into such excellent form that they have increased in value.
And at the same time, they are also able to push young Academy stars into the first team. It looked like Liverpool.
