Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher commented on the Reds' coach Arne Slot.
Arne Slot, Getty Images«I think Slot is slightly obsessed with the Champions League. He talks a lot about PSG after their defeat to them last season. He speaks so well about them as if he’s in awe of his loss to this team and the fact that they went on to win the tournament.
I think he loves coaches whose teams play in such a way, and it shows how he ideally wants to play himself. That’s why after last season, he wanted to make Liverpool’s game more vibrant, and you can see that with the players he’s brought in. But when you spend so much money, you have to be one of the favorites to win the Champions League.
In the summer, I met Arne Slot while he was vacationing with his family. I thanked him for leading Liverpool to the league win last season, and he introduced me to his wife and children as a Champions League winner. And I pretty much felt: „This is our next step.“ He seemed to say: „We’ve won the league, now we want to win the Champions League.“
This thought stuck in my head. You can feel that he desperately wants it, like all top-level coaches. But when you coach Liverpool, this club is synonymous with the Champions League, so we have to be close,» Sky Sports quotes Carragher.
