Liverpool entered the 2024-2025 season with the mindset of being behind the duo Man City and Arsenal. Two seasons ago, Man City and Arsenal "fought a tiger" while last summer, Liverpool parted ways with Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot to take over not with the mindset of a top strategist.
However, in the end, both Arsenal and Man City were left behind, Liverpool even won 4 rounds early. Thereby, The Kop marked the 20th English football championship in history, equal in achievement with arch-rival Manchester United.
After being officially crowned, Arne Slot shared that in fact, right from the time he took up the task at Anfield, he knew Liverpool had the potential to win the Premier League. That confidence comes to the Dutch strategist when he looks at the team's internal efforts every day.
"We have led the table all season but everyone understands how harsh the Premier League is. However, my students and I always believe in winning.
It is difficult to describe this feeling in words. When we look at the fans at the stadium today, we always believe we cannot fail. The team's goal is to beat Tottenham. Although it only takes 1 point to achieve the goal, everyone feels the pressure to win" - Arne Slot shared.
This achievement of Liverpool is based on a squad inherited entirely from Jurgen Klopp's legacy. The Kop did not rush into the transfer market with blockbuster contracts. Their most recent signing is Federico Chiesa, who arrived in the summer of 2024.
Arne Slot has focused on elevating current stars, especially the case of Ryan Gravenberch. Thanks to this strategy, The Kop can still stand firm on their own strength.
Last month, the Dutch coach said that next summer will not be a very busy period for Liverpool in terms of transfers. Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp said that the team will not need major additions to compete for the Premier League next season, despite potential threats from Man City, Arsenal and many other opponents.
"The team has the best centre-back in the world, Van Dijk. A goalkeeper is also at the same level as Alisson Becker or Mohamed Salah, he still has outstanding parameters.
In the coming season, Liverpool only need to make a slight adjustment in personnel, pushing young players to the first team. The team that has the overwhelming brains for this item are Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes. I believe Liverpool will find new Van Dijk and Salah in the near future. For now, they are still a big force in the coming season".
When Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool in the summer of 2024, he caught the breath of tens of thousands of Anfield fans singing the name of Arne Slot. When celebrating his title this season, Slot did the same, showing respect for what Klopp left behind, thereby helping him win today's glory.
Liverpool are expected to end the Premier League season in round 34 with a record of only 2 losses, having the second fewest goals conceded and scoring more goals than any team. For a progressive player like Slot, the Kop promises to improve even more next season to continue the success of this season.
