Arne Slot has put Liverpool on a surf wave of success (we disregard the speed bump against Everton at Goodison Park). Well into the latter part of the season, Liverpool are still on course for The Treble. So what’s the secret? Slot tells the secret, which lies behind what he delivers in terms of strategies, training sessions and coaching in the matches.
It is so simply about the people and the surroundings that are facilitated to build and strengthen the relationships between the players, coaches and the support staff.
-They have always eaten breakfast together. What has changed, and what you see a lot, is that we have created a coffee shop here. Players sit down there, talk to each other, have a lot of fun together,” Slot begins, according to Goal.
-If you have a coffee shop and you don’t have results, you probably don’t see the same vibe there, but I think it all contributes to success. I brought some people to this club who I think do a very good job and are good people, but the people who already worked here are really professional and good people. Plus the really great facilities, great players with great mentality, and this could be a successful season,” says Slot.
It’s about gathering the right people and making it possible for the right people to get the most out of the working day together.
This describes a club that has the foundation in place for success, less dependent on the individual coach or player.
This is in stark contrast to what is going on at arch-rival Manchester United, where there is no foundation for the long-term investment, where continuous fluctuations and changes characterize the working day of players and coaches.
It is towards Liverpool United management that the management should look.
