Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker has won numerous titles with coach Jurgen Klopp, including Premier League and Champions League titles.
In addition to her excellent shot-stopping, the goalkeeper epitomises modern goalkeeping in terms of her ability to leap out of the penalty area, her passing and her footwork.
Arne Slot took over as manager this season, but he has not relinquished his position as a defender and brings stability to the final line.
With more than 250 appearances at Anfield, the player, who is already a legend, said that he does not compare the Klopp regime with the current team and that he has to make new history under the Dutchman’s leadership.
“A few players still play in the team but we have a little bit of a different style now,”
“More ball possession, before it was really straightforward: a lot of transition, a lot of intensity.”
“That team was really special, we achieved great things. It was the first Premier League title for this club in a long time. We achieved the Champions League together as well, the season before. I think there’s no comparison with both situations.”
“Just what makes me happy is to see this group of players. We have the quality to do something special and the most important thing is the commitment that is needed to win something is there and the passion, the desire.”
“We are hungry and we want to win every game that we have in front of us and that’s all we are focused on at the moment.”
“I believe we don’t have to compare ourselves with the teams in the past. We have to create our own history. This season, this group has to create its own history.”
“With the players who came in, they brought a lot of quality, and [with] what we are doing, what we can do, we’re not going to erase the things we did in the past that were really special and will always be in the history of this club.”
The Times
Jurgen Klopp was somewhat inconsistent, but his style of play was characterised by a frenetic atmosphere in the stadium.
He created an era of shot counters from the Gegenpress, ultra-aggressive both sides, and had an epic championship rivalry with Manchester City for several years.
Slot tinkered a little with the formation, favouring possession-oriented football. He took over the fast counters, but brought stability to the defence. Overall, he got a more stable football and the Premier League has been going well since the start of the season.
Despite the difficult position of taking over from a great general, he has shown excellent skills so far. Can the Dutchman continue in this vein and make his mark on Anfield’s history…?
