Arne Slot: 'I want to win as many games as possible - but also to stay in people's memory'
Arne Slot has detailed his ambition not to just win trophies with Liverpool but also to do it while playing an attractive brand of football.
“I know how it works,” the head coach said in a new book about his journey to Anfield. “If you don’t pick up trophies as a manager or as a player, it can haunt you for decades.
“There are different ways to be remembered. Look at the Holland team in the 1974 World Cup. Everyone saw that World Cup as the tournament where Holland came out as winners. But they didn’t come home with the cup. It was about their style of play.
“Of course, I want to win as many games as possible - but I also want to stay in the memory of people. That is a trophy in itself, in my opinion.
“I love it when people describe me as the coach who is always thinking in an attacking style. As long as you keep attacking, you improve the chances that you will come out as a winner.
“Take as many risks with your team as you want because that will bring you more rewards than when you make choices fed by fear. I will lose games in my life in future, for sure - but never will I lose them from having a defensive mindset.”
