Arne Slot’s success at Liverpool comes from composure and belief

Arne Slot proves that Liverpool’s strength comes not only from reasonable spending, but also from developing the club’s existing internal strength.

In the recent victory over Brentford, Liverpool showed their strength with a balanced squad. Substitutes such as Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa played a decisive role in bringing 3 points to The Kop. The combination between Nunez and Elliott created an important goal.

Federico Chiesa, the only signing Liverpool recruited in the summer, is gradually asserting his value. Despite limited playing time, every time he has the ball, the Italian star creates to help the team maintain an overwhelming position.

Arne Slot has cleverly taken advantage of the squad’s depth, rotating players effectively even when key players such as Alisson Becker, Ibrahima Konate or Trent Alexander-Arnold are absent. This shows that the “Red Brigade” does not only rely on big stars, they have a collective strength that is built sustainably.

Arne Slot is famous for his ability to “block out the noise” from public opinion, which was clearly demonstrated after the match when Alexander-Arnold was criticized for his poor performance. Instead of blaming the players, the 46-year-old coach stood up to protect his students, creating conditions for them to regain their form.

Similarly, the 46-year-old coach also expressed his trust in Darwin Nunez when the striker was under pressure to leave. Slot realized that the value of the Uruguayan striker lies not only in his ability to score goals but also in his dedication and willingness to compete.

Harvey Elliott, although not having many opportunities to play regularly, still receives support from Arne Slot. The Dutch strategist understands that developing players from the training ground is always a sustainable way, much better than constantly recruiting expensive stars.

Liverpool are asserting their current success not only thanks to their achievements on the pitch, but also thanks to their smart financial strategy. Although they do not spend as much as their competitors, The Kop still maintains stability and efficiency in each transfer period.

Chiesa is the only summer signing, demonstrating the philosophy of “investing at the right time” pursued by Liverpool’s leadership. Instead of rushing to follow the pressure from fans or experts, The Kop waits for truly suitable opportunities to strengthen the squad.

Slot is also not afraid to experiment and give opportunities to young players like Conor Bradley. He also takes advantage of the abilities of less-rated players like Kostas Tsimikas. This not only helps Liverpool’s squad maintain competition but also creates the necessary depth for the long-distance race.

Under Arne Slot, the “Red Brigade” has shown clear progress, not only in the way they operate their game but also in their ability to control pressure from outside. The praise from Brentford boss Thomas Frank, who called Liverpool “the best team in the world right now”, is testament to that.

Despite the difficulties they’ve faced, from injuries to squad controversies, Arne Slot has always kept his focus on the ultimate goal: winning. Liverpool are not only in the Premier League title race, they’re also flying high in the Champions League, having won all seven of their games since the start of the qualifying round.
