Arne Slot's first season at the helm of Liverpool offers a real chance to assess his impact at Anfield. No matter what, the Dutchman is bound to be measured against his illustrious predecessor, Jürgen Klopp—a comparison that defender Ibrahima Konaté himself has drawn.
Details: Konaté acknowledged that there are differences between the coaches, noting that Slot puts greater emphasis on ball retention, but also expressed his disappointment that the team didn't progress further in the Champions League.
Quote: "He has a slightly different footballing philosophy—he focuses more on building play and keeping possession. But he didn't ask me to change anything. I'm very satisfied with the season we've had.
Of course, we would have liked to go further in the Champions League. We can be disappointed about that, but it happened during a period when we weren't in our best form and fatigue had built up. In the end, we're happy to have finished in the Premier League," Konaté said in an interview with The Athletic.
