Liverpool's Arne Slot on Cloud Nine After Historic Title Win

Read


Liverpool manager Arne Slot reflects on the team's historic 20th top-flight title win and the congratulatory messages he's received.



Liverpool manager Arne Slot views the team's remaining four games as a chance to give lesser-used players a head start on next season, following their 20th Premier League title win. With a 15-point lead over second-placed Arsenal, Liverpool has nothing left to play for, and Slot plans to rotate his squad. The team's upcoming fixture against Chelsea on Sunday is crucial for the Londoners, who are chasing a top-five finish and a Champions League qualifying spot.


“It's nice we play some strong teams with Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton and Palace, it gives us a challenge,” Slot told reporters on Friday. “We have to look at this as the start of next season. It's four games we are trying to win.




“My lineups will be different to what we've had the last 10 months, (we) won't change everyone but there will be some rotation. Not to say we will lose, we have a lot of trust in those (players),” added the Dutchman.


“I think some of the players deserved to play earlier because they have trained so well and are good enough, but I mainly chose the same players so I see where they are looking ahead to next season a bit, but also because they deserve to play this season.”


Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his gratitude for the congratulatory messages he received after the team's record-equalling 20th English top-flight title win. “Of course, a lot of messages come from good hearts, I have tried to answer them all,” Slot said, reflecting on the outpouring of support since Liverpool's 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Slot became the first Dutch manager to win England's top football trophy.


“It's been amazing, especially Sunday. One of the best days of (the players') lives and the same for me. The way the day went, going behind, we had to work for it, scored the goals, seeing how much it meant to players and fans was special to be a part of.


“Most famous person who messaged me? I assume it was (predecessor) Jurgen (Klopp). What did he say? 'Congratulations, now I know what a special club it is, I am part of history,' this type of stuff, he was really happy for the fans and the club.”
