Arne Slot has admitted he is not surprised that none of Sky Sports’ pundits predicted Liverpool would win the Premier League title before the season.
Even Arne Slot admitted in the past that the expectation was to finish back in the Champions League places, a feat Klopp achieved in his final season following a campaign in the Europa League.
I’ve said many times during the season that this team still had a lot to prove because Jurgen created this team two years ago.
“This team only played Europa League and Premier League
In the Europa League, I don’t think Virgil [van Dijk] played many games
We had to show that we could do Champions League and Premier League with the same group of players, which normally makes it harder
But sometimes it also works that the more games you play the fitter you become, the more of a team you become as well.
“I could understand, apart from me being the new manager instead of Jurgen that there were a lot of question marks because of me and because of us being in the Champions League and the Premier League again, with the season before us only playing Premier League because Europa League games were played with different players and it was already hard to compete with Arsenal and City.”
