The Aston Villa Manager Unai Emery was full of praise for the new boss Arne Slot from Liverpool and raved how the red is better than Jürgen Klopp’s legendary term.
Klopp resigned from the Angard HotSeat last summer after led Liverpool to her first English top top title in 30 years and increased the Champions League 2019 and reached three other European finals.
Slot was only granted a senior supplement to the squad this season and led Liverpool to an amazing charges both in Germany and on the continent. The red are well positioned to beat Arsenal against the Premier League title and are clear favorites to win the first edition of the extended Champions League.
While the Dutch was always in trouble to point out Klopp’s role in the determination of the foundations for this success, Emery praised the effects of the incoming head coach. “They made themselves fantastic with Klopp, but they do even better with slot,” enthused the Spain boss on Wednesday in Liverpool in the Villa Park.
“As a coach, it is a big challenge, a challenge how we can put our game plan together against you. It is the most difficult game that we will play in the past few weeks and months.
“We have to compete because they will demand many of us tactically and individually. I appreciate them and they have a very high level of performance this year – more than the past two years. They do it even better.”
After a record start of the campaign, Liverpool has slowed Slot in the past few weeks and stays in a slightly better position compared to Klopp’s team last season.
This current iteration of the red has collected three more points than its youngest colleagues, who also listed the Premier League tables -25 games to the campaign. However, the side of Klopp ultimately sagged together for a disappointing third – a fate that is certainly not on the horizon for slot and co, at least not to Unai Emery.
