LIVERPOOL SCHOOLS MADRID
What Arne Slot did to Real Madrid midweek at Anfield proves he's no fluke, he has a truly indepth knowledge of the sport and is intentional about what he does.
Well he once he said,
"It is true I showed my players in recent years clips of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City teams," that's hom specifically focusing on how Guardiola's teams press the ball.
[Incidentally he faces City next]
This match was what one could call a perfect match, reports say not a single mistake, dominance in attack, dominance in defense, pressing, counter-attacks, dominance in set-pieces, and transitions—literally a one-sided game!
Liverpool in this match created 6 clear scoring chances to score. That's no small number against a huge team like Real Madrid. It means Courtois was face-to-face with an intending scorer, 6 times!
Needless to say, if it weren’t for Courtois, the score would have been heavier– more than the 2 goals scored. There was also a missed Salah penalty!
It can be recalled that Arne Slot entered the season without a single player coming in save the Juventus reject Federico Chiesa, who has been rarely fit– he's injured now. No signings, and yet Slot’s producing all this greatness in his first season! 👇

Liverpool I think have really found the perfect successor to Jürgen Klopp. He slowed the team down to speed it up.
All hail Liverpool who are leading Manchester 2 nil late in the game as I write.
Congratulations!
