If we were to find a reason why Michael Edwards and team were interested in Arne Slot, it would be because of these statistics.
The tactic that Klopp has established with Liverpool is the Gegen Pressing style, chasing down the opposition as soon as they lose possession of the ball.
With Slot’s Feyenoord, since joining the team in 2021, Feyenoord is a team that has returned possession of the ball in the third zone more than any other team in the Eredivisie league, and when compared Among the top five leagues in Europe, Feyenoord has a higher number than every other team with 722 hits.
In the same period, Klopp’s Liverpool scored 706 attempts (2nd), Manchester City followed with 700 and Bayern Munich with 661.
…
Creating opportunities from the opposition’s lost possessions, Klopp has said that there is no better way to create moments than using effective counter-pressing tactics.
Liverpool is a team that is so good when not in possession that they are a secret weapon in attack and defence.
As for Slot’s Feyenoord, they are considered the team that turned the opponent’s lost ball into a moment where their own team scored the most. If counting only teams from the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1 and Netherlands Eredivisie, that number was 201 times.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is ranked 4th on this chart out of 182 appearances.
In addition, Feyenoord is the team that scores the most goals when their opponent loses the ball in their own half, with 29 goals, Liverpool is at 17 goals.
And if since the start of the 2021-22 season onwards, Feyenoord and Liverpool are both teams that have scored the same number of goals from long throws in the league with 19 goals.
…
To push the defense up high (High Line) or to put pressure on the opponent in high areas, the defender needs to squeeze the space behind the midfield and the forwards well.
Of course, there was a chance of giving the opponent a lot of space at the back, but Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk both handled this well.
One way to assess how high the defense is pushing or how aggressively they are playing. is to look at the initial stages of playing It measures where that team starts the game from open play on the field.
Since 2021, Feyenoord and Liverpool have started games from 44.9 and 44.6 meters of the pitch respectively.
Among the teams from Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie, only Manchester City started their game in a higher area than these two teams.
In addition, Liverpool had 10 or more more ball connections in the game than Feyenoord on Slots.
And Liverpool have an average of 9.7 defensive contacts per defensive play, while Feyenoord’s are at 10.4, showing that both teams are equally aggressive in pressuring their opponents when they play. Didn’t control the ball
…
From the 2021/22 season onwards, Liverpool is the team that scores the 3rd most goals in the top 5 European leagues (plus the Dutch league) with 244 goals.
Feyenoord is behind Liverpool with 234 goals.
Compared to the predicted goals (xG) of both teams since that time, Liverpool actually scored 270 goals from an xG of 239.45, while Feyenoord scored 234 from an xG of 214.02.
It can be seen that both teams scored more actual goals than their predicted values.
Overall, this was viewed in a negative light. After a while these numbers may get worse, but Liverpool use a more advanced and high-tech system to assess scoring opportunities.
If it’s truly true, Liverpool will hope that Slots will show good potential in leading the team to score a lot of goals. In order to be able to compete with Manchester City
…
Slot has only been working for the first team for just five years but has been compared to having a similar style to Marcelo Bielsa.
He likes the full-backs to push higher and the center-backs to move further out to the sides.
It is understandable why slots have caught the attention of many teams.
He led the team to the Europa Conference League finals in his first season with the club, winning the Eredivisie in his second and the KNVB Cup in C. The third time
summer last year He has been identified as the favorite to take over at Tottenham and, despite Slot’s strong interest, Feyenoord technical director Dennis ter Close is working hard within the club. Under the assumption that he would not lose his slot.

Managing Liverpool is a job that requires you to be skilled in almost every aspect.
You can’t meet just one qualification. It needs to have outstanding properties in many areas. This side also depends on having a good personality.
Sky Sports has described Slot as “approachable, polite, always smiling, well-behaved, charming and funny”.
“He certainly has an outburst with his teammates,” said Dennis van Ersel, a journalist from Dutch media RTV.
“But he will also be able to embrace his teammates with love. They love him because he brings harmony within the club.”
To clear up any doubts about the language, Slots can speak English fluently. And when there was news with Tottenham last year, he had given an interview about his future plans like this.
“My next job will not be to manage a team in Netherlands”
“If that’s the case, then I’ve completely failed. If nothing goes wrong, my next job will be working abroad. And I always say that the Premier League is the best league in the world.”
…
Nowadays, it seems like it is a rule that modern coaches must work with their team under certain conditions. -The team must play attractively, be energetic. and focuses mainly on attacking games –
But if the person who is the manager can lead the team to win the championship as well. It is considered to have a more positive effect on him by default.
Slots also fall into this category. Because last season he led Feyenoord to win the league championship for the second time in the last 20 seasons. In addition, they lost only 2 league matches throughout the said season.
Most of the time, Slots will have the team play in a 4-2-3-1 system, emphasizing possession of the ball, using two central midfielders to push the game forward from the center when facing the first line of defence. rival
He also lets his team try to control the ball in the opponent’s half and apply high pressure. Including making the team finish sharply.
All of this shows that the 45-year-old has what it takes to succeed without spending too much money.
That will be a quality that catches the eye of FSG and their team strategy.
Feyenoord has never spent more than €8 million on a single player.
They have higher incomes than two of their league rivals, PSV and Ajax, which are worlds apart. Under Feyenoord’s management approach, Slots shows their strengths by making their team have form. So excellent that it has increased in value
And at the same time, they are able to push young stars from the Academy into the first team as well. It sounds exactly like Liverpool.
