Klopp finally speaks out! If he returns to the Premier League, he will only go to Liverpool. Slott’s crisis is coming

The defeat of the Double Red Club has put Slott's coaching ability into question, but Liverpool will definitely not fire Slott in the short term, because Liverpool's personnel combination this season is too complicated, and there are many reasons for losing. Moreover, Slott was personally selected by the senior management. If he is fired suddenly, the senior management may lose face, so Slott will have at least a month or more. If Liverpool continues to lose in the coming days, Slott will face a real test!

In fact, it now seems that what Klopp left to Sloter is not property, but a time bomb! Salah, Van Dijk and Robertson are all in serious decline. Although they won the league championship last season, most of the wealthy teams performed poorly. This season Slott did not solve the problems of last season. Instead, he brought in strong reinforcements when there were frequent problems last season. The running-in period will be longer, so after the tactics were seen through by the opponents, Liverpool's problems exploded.

Recently, former Liverpool coach Klopp stated in an interview that if he wanted to return to coach in the Premier League, he would only return to Liverpool and not coach other teams. However, Klopp is 58 years old this year. During his time coaching Liverpool, Klopp was tortured both physically and mentally. He was indeed too tired. Even if he chooses to retire directly, I guess Klopp will not choose to return to Liverpool to continue coaching.

In the past ten years or so, Klopp has coached Dortmund and Liverpool continuously and has not had a good rest for many years. Even if he figures out that he wants to return to coaching in the future, he will have to wait a few years. Letting him take over Liverpool at this stage will undoubtedly throw him the biggest problem in world football, and it will even be more mentally draining than the first time he coached Liverpool.

When Uncle Zha was coaching, he watched other teams sign in, and Liverpool could only buy some relatively cost-effective players. But anything over 50 million euros had to be carefully weighed, so returning to Liverpool was almost like a nightmare for Klopp.

However, Uncle Zha’s voice at this time can be regarded as a warning to Slott. After coaching Liverpool for so many years, Klopp must have a deep relationship with this team. His temperament perfectly fits Liverpool. It was more than a year later that many fans missed the invincible Liverpool under Klopp. During his coaching period, the high press was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Liverpool was also engraved with the brand of offensive football.

At this stage, Slott wants to imitate others, but he did not copy Klopp's tactics. Instead, he played ball possession tactics while reducing the intensity of the pressing. In the end, a completely different tactic was formed, which led to the team's recent 4-game losing streak. The performance is completely inconsistent with the image of a potential champion. As Klopp's successor, Slott has indeed not positioned himself correctly. Even as a transitional coach, he should try his best to help the team achieve good results, instead of ruining Liverpool's results this season just to experiment with his own tactics.
