Arne Slott it is said so liverpool Will not join the ranks of teams that have adopted more long ball strategy Having said that this is not the way to win the Premier League.
More direct football has been played in the top flight so far this season, with the statistics showing that the total number of passes is down, but the number of long throws and long goals has increased.
Slott understands why some of his fellow managers are switching from a more possession-based style of play, but he believes it is the best-suited approach for teams trying to stop the best, not become the best, and he believes potential champions cannot play that way.
He explained: “I think that style of playing the long ball and the second ball is not the playing style of the teams that have won this league over the last 10 or 15 or 20 years.
“If you want to win the league you can’t do that, in my opinion, it’s not capable with that style of play. But it’s a very reasonable response to playing against Man City, playing against Liverpool, playing against armoryto play against chelseaPlaying in the same style against all these top teams.
“I don’t see this style in any team that wins leagues in Europe. It’s not Bayern MunichNo barcelonaNo real MadridIt’s not Liverpool, not Man City… but It’s a style of play you see a lot of at Man City,
“Long ball, low block, long ball, low block, long ball, low block after they’ve been so successful and that’s what you’re seeing a lot of with us right now as well.”
