Liverpool won its 20th top flight title on Sunday.
Liverpool is the Premier League Champion. That certainty was confirmed in a game that felt unavoidable in the same way that his coronation was throughout the season.
But where the 5–1 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur felt the perfectory on Sunday, the after-game celebration was illuminated. Manager Arne Slot, Hand Stadium Microphone, Fans “Jurgen Clop!” Killed in mantras of This was a notable moment of tribute to his predecessor. (Before it broke when his players accused him with champagne bottles.)
Respect is mutual. The appointment of the slot was also not announced when the clop chanting his name. This is an unprecedented dual set of moments. Away from feeling forced or forced, they are signs of continuity that are concluded on Mercesis.
Most of the media had predicted that it would be the infection season. The nine -year clopa was fantastic near the era; Key Talim – Alexander Arnold, Mohammad Salah and Virjil Van Daq – were in the final year of their contracts and seems to be out of one leg from the door.
And then the last nine months. The clear question for the pivot is whether it is still a clop team or with a slot
A certain answer recalls what this success has enabled. Liverpool, as an institution, has performed brilliantly to preserve abstract characteristics that make any football club great. Call it mentality, mentality or stability, it is a team that understands who it is and what it wants to achieve.
“Identification” is one of the pseudo-philosophical concepts we throw into the world of football very easily. Still here it seems completely suitable. What we have seen in Anifield is a homogeneous understanding of purpose. One who was seen only under clop, but also with the history that is dear. It suits notes you’ll never Walk Alone,
The journey of Stamford Bridge at the end of this week will symbolically outline the nature of their achievement. Chelsea’s brilliant early eleven will have the greatest honor to appreciate the new champion on the pitch. Liverpool’s success represents all the things they are not. They are a side that loses who they are, deviated from myopic promises of day talent.
It was not always like this.
Former manager Jose Morinho had reduced the achievements of Carlo Anseloti in Chelsea, claiming credit to collect the squad.
“It’s fun,” He said once“You see the Chelsea team that was played for the last eight years. I was here for only three and a half people, but for eight years, it was my team.”
Amidst obvious insults, there are outlines of truth that live in their logic. The mentality she had sought from her players lived for a long time after leaving the dugout. It was made possible by a core of players who demanded equal values and morality, which were primide to replace them. Golden Generation – Left under the leadership of John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, but his successors discovered a way to win, concluding in the 2021 Champions League Triumph.
The problem came when new club officials decided to play fantasy football and effectively replaced the squad.
The old guard has now patrolled the podcast studios such as Curumdzonally Oldimers, who takes the youth on Instagram to apologize for cheerful damage. (On their day, absence can only be obtained on the pitch at the end of next week.)
Clop, which is more likely to label a manger than a Magalomaniyak, will never echo the rumming of the Morinho. But he is undoubtedly the main hero in the Liverpool story of the last decade. His continuous presence enabled the authorities to plot a long -term vision.
Prior to them, Liverpools were famous for dissatisfied expenses – as a helpless spouse, as proficiency and non -recreational, who have lost the list of purchases. In later years, you will struggle to sign a sign, which has not contributed meaningfully to the mission.
Despite its alofa aesthetics, the German assembled a efficient unit of its national stereotype. Every decision had a purpose.
The slot undoubtedly benefited from that foundation. But he could easily drop the pass easily.
Brian Cloe, one of the largest papers of football, has a 44-day term in Leeds United. He allegedly entered the dressing room in 1974 and suggested that “all of you could throw their medals in bin because they did not live impartially”.
The slot did the opposite. He emphasized the existing powers of the team, playing with them and cleverly injecting their personality when the situation called for it. It is clear that he is clear in the level of demonstrations that exiting their players.
With four games to go, advice is only four goals behind their highest tally of 32 in a red shirt. This is a notable for a hopper player who has been considered from his major years.
“It is quite difficult to be fair to say one thing, but the strategy is quite different,” He said about the effect of the slot“I told him, ‘Look, as long as you relax me defensively, I will provide aggressively and then I will show you the number,’ and I am happy that I did it. It was the manager’s idea but he hears a lot. I listened to him. I talked to him and he got his idea and you can see the number and you can see the number.”
How easy it would be for the players, also, was occupied by the transition story. The defined characteristic of this title winning campaign has been their ability to grind a result; To get three points in a day also. It only comes when you have a team fighting for their manager and their views – not those who had come before.
The era of greatness is preserved. With Liverpool, now tied with Manchester United on 20 league titles, and prepared to cross them, it can reach well new, unimaginable heights.
