Arne Slot’s Calm Approach Ahead of Liverpool’s Title Decider

LIVERPOOL, England – Liverpool coach Arne Slot aims for a calm approach as his team prepares to celebrate potentially winning the Premier League title this Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Liverpool requires just one point to secure the championship, marking a significant milestone in Slot’s first season in charge.

Slot, who previously won the 2022-23 Eredivisie title with Feyenoord, remains composed about the big moment. ‘I enjoyed it a lot when Feyenoord won the title – but I don’t go crazy,’ said Slot. He added, ‘It wasn’t like I ran three times around the stadium. I’m just very, very happy inside.’

As his team sits 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, a draw or win against Tottenham would be a testament to Liverpool’s dominance this season. Slot emphasized the importance of his staff’s efforts throughout the year: ‘It would be a bit weird to judge myself, but I can judge the performance for my staff and the medical staff – and they should get a lot of credit.’

Slot’s family, including his wife, Mirjam, and children, Joep and Isa, will join him at Anfield to support Liverpool during this pivotal match. Their visit coincides with a Dutch holiday, highlighting the personal significance of the occasion for Slot.

Having taken over for Jürgen Klopp, Slot has quickly become an integral part of Liverpool’s fabric, although he hesitates to label himself an honorary Scouser after only a short time. ‘I feel part of it,’ he said. ‘But to say I am a Scouser now would be too much. Ask me after 10 years.’

Liverpool last clinched the title during the pandemic in a vacant stadium. This time, they will celebrate in front of passionate supporters. On May 25, 2025, the team will officially lift the trophy, solidifying their status as one of England’s most successful clubs.
