The Reds are looking promising in the preseason
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- As Liverpool looks to establish themselves under new manager Arne Slot, it's a departure from Jurgen Klopp's heavy metal football to a more balanced style that's preferred by the Dutchman. Having significant experience from leading a strong Feyenoord side in Champions League play, Slot has the match experience needed to succeed, but as he'll quickly see with Liverpool, performing in the Premier League is a different animal.
Klopp left the Reds in a great position roster-wise after his departure with a good mix of stars and ready-to-contribute youth players. The midfield is in good hands with Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, and Harvey Elliott while Mohamed Salah's presence makes everyone's lives easier. Under Slot, having that base will go a long way but like any manager, he'll want to establish his own style.
When asked to describe Slot's soccer in one word, Elliott's choice was "elegant."
