The 43-year-old stated: “The English press may be harsh, however you actually shouldn’t fear about that. They simply should fill a newspaper every single day and they also at all times give you one thing. If I had been within the sneakers of Hulshof and Slot, I’d simply deal with the group. Then will probably be high-quality.”
“In fact you have got a efficiency tradition, however you even have that at Feyenoord. Slot even constructed a champion group there and did an amazing job, so I don’t know why that wouldn’t be attainable at Liverpool.”

Slot will face better calls for and much more scrutiny throughout his time with Liverpool than at another level in his profession, with the Reds some of the outstanding golf equipment within the most-watched home league in world soccer.
Ought to he endure a sluggish begin to life at Anfield, comparisons to Klopp will inevitably come up amongst pundits in England, however Kromkamp is correct in telling him to dam out any such noise.
The 45-year-old has already been successful at one of many largest groups in his homeland, and whereas the expectations of managing LFC are completely different from Feyenoord, main the Rotterdam outfit continues to be a extremely pressurised job when you think about the membership’s historical past and the raucousness of their fan base.
Slot will certainly have realised previous to becoming a member of Liverpool that the highlight might be on him on a regular basis, and that he’ll inevitably be judged in relation to his predecessor’s work. If that accountability scared him, we wouldn’t now be speaking about him as our new head coach.
If a person of Michael Edwards’ shrewd judgement has full confidence within the Dutchman to steer the Reds into a brand new period, then we will have each religion that he’ll grow to be the best man to comply with in Klopp’s footsteps.
