Arne Slot sets itself hard problems with too much disturbance of Liverpool. But that is an addictive substance for an unlimited creative thinking.
In 2011 when PEC Zwolle, Arne Slot proposed a crazy idea to coach Art Langeler. It was in the first serve, they would kick the ball straight to the sky, as high as possible. The purpose is to create chaos for the three strikers of Pec Zwolle to take advantage of the opponent's defense.
The Netherlands Second -class team has seriously trained the “initiative” of Slot. But eventually became “evangelical”. In the match against Cambur, Slot personally played the ball with a shot of the ball up vertically. The ball flew back to the home of Pec Zwolle. The two teams were bewildered and the audience on the pitch laughed satirical.
The Dutch press later called this ball “the most saggy idea of all time”. But Slot does not accept failure. The 33 -year -old midfielder was convinced by Art Langeler to maintain this incredible tactic. “Slot is a player with a lot of good initiatives but not every one is good,” said Art Langeler. In the second leg against Cambur, Slot played the old card and continued to fail.
But that story describes the unique person of Arne Slot. A person always likes to think otherwise. In the summer of 2021, when he first came back to lead Feyenoord, Slot replaced the old half of the starting team with a completely new pressing game. At the hands of Slot, Feyenoord overcame the crisis and the Dutch championship in his second season.
The head coach Feyenoord also thought of the “360 -degree backward” to create mutations. Accordingly, midfielders or center -backs will back to the penalty area of the yard, face the goalkeeper and then suddenly make a completely long pass. These monstrous balls are performed by Orkun Kokcu smoothly and become the cabinet of the Turkish midfielder.
The ideas always appear abundant in the talented brain of Arne Slot. Of course not all are effective, but slot is not loyal coach with a philosophy. Instead, he promotes flexibility, maximum transformation in both people and play. The Premier League championship last season proved that. Liverpool does not need to play with high intensity as Jurgen Klopp. They kicked more, a little more calm but still effective. The fact that Ryan Gravenberch back to stone No. 6 is the best ants of the 46 -year -old coach.
And this season, Arne Slot will freely dance with ideas. Liverpool's starting lineup can be replaced with half with Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and most likely Alexander Isak. How will the two wingers kick the couple Andy Robertson-Alexander-Arnold, how will the attack be arranged with too many stars? What role is for Wirtz to not step on Salah?
The more conundrum, the more interesting Arne Slot. And don't be surprised if the 16 -year -old talent Rio Qumoha will compete for a certain star in the attack. There is no limit in the creative thinking of the Dutch leader.
