New Delhi [India], Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot aims to lead the club to success by combining the style that exists within the club and implementing his own touch.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season, ending his illustrious nine years with the Reds.
Slot, who achieved success with Feyenoord, was hired as his replacement for the new season.
While speaking for the first time since his appointment, Slot expressed his intention to take the club forward by adding his own touch to the team and the legacy Klopp left behind.
"I think we have a lot of quality and the way they played last season was already impressive, so we're going to build from there. Of course, you also want to take some people with you because they know who you are, they know your playing style and they can also pass it on to the rest of the staff," Slot was quoted as saying on Liverpool's official website.
"But if you go to a club like Liverpool, you can assume, and I've already noticed, that there are a lot of good people working here too. So, hopefully, we will use the best of both worlds to implement a few things from ourselves and take advantage the knowledge that already exists in this club thanks to the nine years that Jürgen and his staff worked here," he added.
Last season, Liverpool went head-to-head with Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League title. Towards the end of the season, a couple of results went against them, derailing their hopes of lifting a second Premier League trophy under Klopp.
Liverpool finished the season in third place with 82 points, nine behind title winners Manchester City.
"I think 82 points are a result of the style of play. The points you get are always a result of the way you play. I have already seen many matches, I have also seen many training sessions. Of course, the fans can see the matches, so they know we have very good players, but I have also seen a lot of training sessions and I think this is where the culture is transmitted, and they are always working hard, just like the fans see during the game," he said. slot.
"A really good team, really good players, they managed to be at the top for a long time, but I think in the end we would all love to see Liverpool a little bit above third place and this is the challenge we face now, to take advantage of what we have. I have every confidence in this thanks to the players, that we can add some things with which, hopefully, we can get a little more points than 82, which is necessary with teams like Arsenal and City "We hope to finish a little higher than this season," he added.
Liverpool will begin their campaign with a trip to Portman Road to take on newly promoted side Ipswich Town. Slot's first big test will be against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
