Slot Talk: Hope the Anfield Fans Are Twice as Loud as Ipswich Fans
Slot will lead his first Premier League game at Anfield this weekend.
Liverpool play against Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday, which will be Arne Slot’s first game at Anfield in the league.
“I’m hoping the fans can be twice as loud then as the Ipswich ones – that would be a big help for us”, he said.
Slot is still getting acquainted with his new squad despite spending preseason with many of them.
“I’m learning every day still about these players [and] about the individuals and also how they cooperate with each other. For me, the last week was not only important on Saturday, [but] the Sunday was also really important because I learned and saw there that the ones that didn’t play on Saturday were able to bring a really good training session in on Sunday”, he said.
He praised Thomas Frank’s game at Brentford, particularly his ability to switch systems within a game.
“You can see that their manager is there for a long time already. In the last game against Crystal Palace they could play a 4-4-2 and could play a 5-3-2, so they can change systems within a game and I think that’s highly impossible if you work with a group for three, four or five weeks – maybe even after a year it’s still not possible because it’s so difficult to bring the best out of them in one system”, he said.
“They played a real good first game, as well as a good pre-season, so it’s going to be a challenge for us to play them on Sunday”.
