Arne Slot has ‘banned’ Liverpool players from doing one thing in training that Jurgen Klopp encouraged

Back in January, Jürgen Klopp stunned the football world by announcing he would step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the 2023/24 season. Following Klopp’s departure, former Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar boss Arne Slot took over in June, and he is now preparing for his first experience in the Premier League.

 

Slot, 45, has had a promising start as Liverpool manager, winning all three matches during the pre-season tour of the United States against Real Betis, Arsenal, and Manchester United.

 

As Slot begins to implement his style of play, Liverpool fans have noticed a distinct change from Klopp’s era. One fan on social media pointed out, “Interesting observation from Inside Training. Slot has banned the players from doing back heels/drag back flicks in rondos. Under Klopp, all the players used them when space got tight, but Slot and his coaches now want players to ‘open’ their bodies instead.”

The fan mentioned that when Joe Gomez attempted a back-heel in a training session, he was given a bib and had to go inside the circle, despite the flick being successful. Another fan noted Slot’s focus on guiding players to open their bodies for forward passes at the correct angle rather than relying on flashy back-heel moves.

 

Liverpool will face Sevilla and Las Palmas before starting their 2024/25 Premier League campaign against newly promoted Ipswich Town.
