Slot ‘melted’ with next opponent: “It’s a privilege to be a Tottenham fan at the moment”
Arne Slot praises Ange Postecoglou’s playing style
Refreshing. Liverpool manager Arne Slot was full of praise for Tottenham , who they face on Sunday, and for manager Ange Postecoglou.
“His style of football is more important and if he can combine that with winning something, that will be very good for football in general, because then people can stop talking about is it too offensive? How can you play too offensive football?” he said.
It’s not every day that you give this kind of praise to an opponent: «They are consistent in their style of play and in what they want. They can also be unlucky, as happened yesterday, when they dominated the game (winning 3-0 against Manchester United , two errors by the goalkeeper that gave two goals relaunched Ruben Amorim’s team into the game, but Tottenham would win 4-3). They always like to attack, Postecoglou always plays with three attackers, two attacking midfielders and the full-backs join the attack a lot. I think it’s a privilege to have a season ticket at Tottenham, to be a fan of them at the moment, because they play such a good style.’
“It’s a great job Ange is doing. I hope, I hope, I hope he wins a trophy – not the League Cup (because the semi-finals are against Liverpool), but I’m a complete fan of his team for the Europa League,” said Slot.
The Dutch coach also praised his player Trent Alexander-Arnold , who expressed wanting to be the best right-back: «I like that in a player, it’s something that all players have to have if they want to play at this level.»
