Liverpool manager Arne Slot is set to become the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League and he is looking forward to it with great hope.According to him, “That comes through your mind of course but it’s the last thing you think of, as a manager, at this moment in time.
“I saw last week how hard it was to win a game against a [Leicester City] team that was almost relegated. I’m not getting carried away. We’ve faced Tottenham Hotspur three times already this season so know how hard it is to beat them.”
Slot, who hopes defender Joe Gomez could return from injury before the end of the season, says that his first taste of the Premier League certainly hasn’t left him disappointed.
On the season, he said: “Everyone can have your opinion, and where we live it’s a positive thing you can share it with everyone.
“I can only tell you what I’ve experienced this season and can say it’s never been as exciting for a top-five finish. In my opinion it’s a really difficult league, there’s not an easy game. But that tells you something about us.
“We’re not the only team to find it hard to win a game by two or three goals. Maybe Liverpool and Manchester City and Arsenal aren’t as good [as we were], or the other teams have got better.”
