Liverpool with a new captain but with the same tools

Manos Staramopoulos • 20 de agosto de 2024

With Arne Slott in his technical bench, Liverpool want maintain the team's competitive identity and improve last year's naivety that distinguished it, especially at home, in Anfield.

Mo Salah was one of the scorers in the opening match of the Premier League against Ipswich Town

The Reds, who finished 3rd last season, now have to learn to... walk all over again, without their successful German manager, Jurgen Klopp. Who, after 9 years in their technical leadership, decided that the time had come to rest and give his (second) wife Ulla Sandrock , whom they married in 2005, the opportunity to travel together for a long time. And of course Jurgen should stay away from any job, since if nothing else he has money to live nice and well.


Liverpool will therefore not have Klopp, at its helm, the man who reunited an entire organization and led it to the top of the Premier League after 30 years, is now obliged to march with another technician.


And this is the Dutchman, Arne Slott, who, as things seem so far, must maintain the team's competitive identity and improve last year's naivety that distinguished it, especially at home, in Anfield.

Of course, Liverpool in the premiere of the new league, presented themselves very well, especially in the second half and won 2-0 against Ipswich at Portman Road. In fact, its 45-year-old coach, Arne Slott, became the first coach of the Merseyside team to win in his first game at Premier League level after 34 years and only the second in history! In particular, since the Premier's inception in 1992, only Gérard  Houllier  in 1998 and now Slott have made their debut in the league with a win.


Here it should be noted that in his first game as head of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp in October 2015 had drawn 0-0 against Tottenham.


The new coach of the reds seems to have some innovations to introduce to the team. Where international Trent Alexander-Arnold is used more as a right midfielder and less as a right back. His place now seems to be covered by the young man, Connor Bradley who if he continues like this then he will soon be No. 2 in the team. Then the Magyar, Dominik Szoboszlai is shown to be more mature and with fewer wrong transfers, while the two wingers, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are pure fire.


Αgainst Ipswich, the Egyptian, who had had quite a haircut, was nothing like last year's football player with too many hairs. This of course has nothing to do with his class, There were times when he out-danced the opponents, while danger-death is the other winger, the Colombian international, Luis Diaz, who cannot be caught.

Darwin Nuñez


Now if Slott manages to find a balance with the not particularly stable Uruguayan forward Darwin Nuñez and the latter does not make the above move, but scores in a cynical way, then Liverpool are capable of great things at home and abroad.


However, the fact that so far he has not managed to make a worthwhile transfer (the Spaniard, Martín Zubimendi  changed his mind and prefers to remain at Sociedad) shows that something is not working well in the red administration. show…
