Liverpool
Unveiled: The Pre-Match RITUAL Arne Slot Has ELIMINATED Since Taking Over from Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool Manager
Share
Arne Slot has been Liverpool’s head coach for 100 days and has already made a notable impression at Anfield.
With three matches played, the former Feyenoord manager has achieved three victories, with his team scoring seven goals and maintaining three clean sheets—remarkable statistics, though they only tell part of the story.
Slot has faced challenges such as the delayed return of international players from summer tournaments and missing out on his primary transfer target. Additionally, he has had to step into Jurgen Klopp’s significant shoes.
Despite these hurdles, Slot has made a strong start.
Slot Implements Pre-Match Change
With Slot putting his own mark on the team, there has been a subtle yet significant alteration in Liverpool’s pre-match routine, which was enacted before the Reds’ first home game against Brentford.
As reported by The Athletic, the matchday squad now assembles on the morning of the match rather than staying overnight at The Titanic Hotel, a practice that was standard under Klopp.
Under Klopp, the belief was that having players stay together in the same city-center hotel helped them concentrate before the game by reducing distractions and fostering team unity.
The Titanic had become a crucial part of Liverpool’s pre-match preparations, creating a calm environment before key matches and reinforcing the team’s close-knit culture.
This season, however, has seen a slight departure from that tradition. By meeting on matchday morning, Slot’s approach introduces a more flexible strategy to matchday preparation.
This shift likely represents a different philosophy on balancing relaxation with mental sharpness and indicates a change in management style, emphasizing players’ personal routines and granting them more autonomy the night before a game. So far, the new approach appears to be effective.

Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all monitoring their transfer targets for the upcoming year.
These Premier League giants made significant investments in their squads this summer and are expected to compete fiercely for the title this season.
Off the pitch, they are also set to battle each other for Premier League talent.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo has caught the attention of top English clubs due to his consistent performances.
According to HITC, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are all interested in acquiring the Brentford forward.
His impressive performances have been somewhat overshadowed by Ivan Toney’s presence at the club.
Nevertheless, Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa stepped up to lead the team’s attack during Toney’s suspension due to his betting ban.
The report suggests that Mbuemo could become one of the most sought-after players next year, given the interest from numerous clubs.
He meets the criteria that clubs are currently prioritizing, performing well in the data and analytics that many recruitment teams use today.
Brentford will aim to secure the player with a long-term contract.
Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all interested in Mbuemo.
Currently, he has two years remaining on his deal, but the Bees are expected to offer him an extended contract with enhanced terms.
The Cameroon international excels both as a scorer and a creator, and his versatility in attacking roles makes him a valuable asset for any team that signs him.
He has begun the new season strongly, scoring three goals in three games so far, including a brace in Brentford’s 3-1 victory over Southampton last week.
