Liverpool Chairman: Slott was the first choice as new coach at the time; Wirtz might win the Ballon d Or

Hupu reported on November 20 that TheAthleticUK Liverpool and team reporter Pi Xijin wrote a new book - "Moving On: The Inside Story of Arne Slott's Coaching of Liverpool".

(The following is the second paragraph of the Liverpool chairman’s speech)

[Rumor board] Liverpool chairman: Edwards may be Fenway’s biggest contributor; will acquire a second team

In the spring of 2024, Fenway Sports Group entrusted the task of finding Klopp’s perfect successor to Edwards and Hughes, and they finally hired Sloter from Feyenoord in the Netherlands, which undoubtedly lived up to expectations.

"With the additions of Michael and Richard, we are very confident that they will find the right person. Slott has always been their first choice and he has proven it with his actions.

It was a surprise to have such a good first season in charge. One of the greatest strengths of Ane is his sincerity. He is not trying to be Klopp, nor is he trying to be. For Guardiola. He stands up for himself and excels in everything he does. I think he takes over a strong team with a lot of talent. He's a great strategist. He took an already very good team and transformed it to his own will.

His humble approach was matched by his deep belief in what he was doing. I had the pleasure of watching them practice before the last game of the season.

It was really impressive how dedicated Ane was to his job as a head coach. It's very effective. The synergy between him and Richard and Michael is also very good."

After the iconic championship celebrations and trophy parade, pop music superstar and perhaps the city's most famous son, Sir Paul McCartney, was seen sharing the stage with Bruce Springsteen at his summer concert at Anfield Stadium. They sang the Beatles' classic song "Can't Buy Me Love".

In the weeks when the world's eyes were on Merseyside, Liverpool, aided by astute leadership and a passionate and energetic fan base, reached unprecedented heights both on and off the pitch. Under the stewardship of Fenway Sports Group (FSG), both sides of Anfield have undergone a £200m transformation, increasing capacity from 44,000 to 61,000.

"We are extremely proud of what we have achieved at Anfield. After we bought the club in 2010, we considered the previous owner's plan to build a new stadium, but we felt that Anfield had a very glorious history.

The choice we faced was not: stay at Anfield or build a new stadium. The question we really need to think about is:

'How do we renovate Anfield? How do we make it bigger, better, and more shocking? How can we give fans the same experience as elsewhere in England? '

I like to use the metaphor of a virtuous cycle. The more success we have on the pitch, the more revenue we generate through matchday, commercial and media channels, which ultimately flows back into the club so that we can Enough to do all the top things.

We can always improve. Our goal is always to win more trophies."

Slott once said that he hopes to add "new weapons" to the team to make Liverpool's offensive firepower stronger. Ekitic, signed from Frankfurt for £79 million, has also become a highlight of the team.

Including additional terms related to performance, Liverpool's total spending on signings this summer is approximately 449 million pounds, with a maximum of 262 million pounds. Costs have been recouped from player sales.

"When you have the opportunity to sign a player of this caliber, you have to go all out and in the case of Florian Wirtz, he is an outstanding talent. We may be witnessing a future Ballon d'Or winner.

With all the praise for Florian, even if only half of it comes true, he will be a huge contributor to our team. This summer is a very different situation than last summer. We feel there are some players who can strengthen us and I I believe that the fans who always want us to spend money in the transfer market will be satisfied with some of our decisions.

Climbing Mount Everest is difficult, and it may be harder every time because the passion of achieving something together the first time is so strong.

I hope that when we sit here and talk in five years, we will have more good memories to look back on. ”
