Former manager Jurgen Klopp led Liverpool until last season, ending his almost nine years at Anfield.
He has since left coaching to take up a new role as head of global football at the Red Bull Group.
He is credited with turning around an underperforming team at Liverpool and turning them into one of the best clubs in the world today.
The German mastermind said he still watches Liverpool matches and insisted that slot football should be seen by more than just fans.
“I’m so happy that they do so well, that’s what I was hoping for,”
“I’m in contact with some people, with Arne texting, players texting, stuff like this. There is not 0.01 percentage that I think ‘oh my God, I should still be there’, not at all.”
“I’m more than happy not to be there. Because they are doing so well that’s really great, I wish them all the best and I watch as many games as I can and could, because it’s great football.”
“Even if you don’t support Liverpool right now you’d better watch it because it’s really top, top, top football, maybe the best balanced in the world out there right now. I’m really, really happy about that.”
Manager Arne Slot was highly regarded for his skills at the helm of Feyenoord. The names of young, promising commanders such as Xabi Alonso and Ruben Amorim were in the media, but in the end the Dutchman was given the white feather.
He placed more emphasis on possession than Klopp and tweaked the midfield structure.
Meanwhile, the fast counter attack is still alive and well, and it is the defensive side of the game that has improved the most.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had been a defensive worry, has also become more stable and has built a solid final line.
Liverpool continue to do well in the Premier League and Champions League, but can they maintain their top position and achieve greatness in their first season in charge?
