Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed his confidence in Pep Guardiola’s ability to turn Manchester City’s fortunes around. Despite City’s recent struggles, including a five-match losing streak and a dramatic 3-3 draw against Feyenoord after leading 3-0, Slot believes Guardiola, whom he considers the best manager in the world, will find a solution.
Slot praised Guardiola’s tactical brilliance and innovative approach, highlighting his past successes in overcoming difficult situations. “He always comes up with solutions for his problems,” Slot said, adding, “I wouldn’t be surprised if he came up with another brilliant idea”.
The upcoming match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday presents a significant opportunity for both teams. Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League by eight points, can extend their lead to 11 points with a win. However, Slot is aware of the threat City poses, even in their current form.
Slot’s admiration for Guardiola is evident, as he pointed out the Spaniard’s ability to inspire managers worldwide with his innovative tactics. “He was the one that started playing with inverted full-backs, then with a centre-back as a six,” Slot noted. “If there is anyone that can come up with something new, it is definitely him.”
As Liverpool prepares for the clash, Slot remains grounded, ensuring his team doesn’t underestimate City’s potential to bounce back. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both managers looking to outwit each other and secure a crucial victory.
