“Me and Richard Hughes are calling each other almost every day, we are going to work together when it comes to transfers”.
Regarding the tactical approach he will likely deploy when he fully mounts the saddle as Liverpool coach, Slot said that he will implement a style that involves having the ball a lot.
Slot said; “We want to implement our style of play very soon. It’s about having the ball a lot, to have a lot of energy”.
“The fans love to see a team who wants to do anything to win a game, and if the game is tough to do anything to turn it around”. He noted.
