Liverpool Thrives with Arne Slot’s Stability

Wataru Endo, a key midfielder for Liverpool, has praised the impact of new manager Arne Slot, highlighting the team’s increased stability under his leadership. Endo believes that Slot’s tactical approach has brought significant improvements, distinguishing this period from the era of Jürgen Klopp.

Since joining Liverpool, Slot has guided the team to impressive form. The Reds are currently leading the Premier League and their Champions League group. Slot’s philosophy emphasizes positional discipline and a balanced approach, which Endo sees as the foundation of their recent success. He remarked, "Under our new manager, we focus on maintaining strict positional play. This stability allows us to press effectively and recover quickly when needed."

Despite limited playing time this season, with just 58 minutes across the Premier League and Champions League, Endo remains a positive and determined presence in the squad. "I aim to be ready whenever the team needs me," he said. "Of course, I want to play every game, but it’s essential for all players to be prepared. My role is to contribute whenever possible."

Endo’s adaptability has been a valuable asset for Liverpool. Having played as a defender earlier in his career, he is comfortable stepping into different positions on the pitch. "From the ages of 18 to 25, I played as a defender," he explained. "Whether I’m a center-back or a number six, I focus on doing what’s best for the team."

Under Slot’s guidance, Liverpool has become a more cohesive and resilient team. Their structured and disciplined gameplay has been instrumental in their performances across all competitions, including the FA Cup and League Cup. Slot’s emphasis on teamwork and stability appears to have resonated deeply with the players, fostering an environment where every individual feels empowered to contribute.
