LIVERPOOL defender Ibrahima Konate revealed head coach Arne Slot told his side at the start of the season that they could win the Premier League.
After succeeding Jurgen Klopp one of the first things the Dutchman highlighted to the squad were a few minor areas he felt would make the difference between them finishing third, nine points off the pace, as they did in 2023-24, and winning a record-equalling 20th championship.
That insight has been proved correct and Konate praised Slot for the influence he has had.
"I think he brings something new, like the style of playing," he said.
"Just before we started the season he showed us why we didn't win the league the year before, some details, and he said if we change that and improve on that we have a big chance to win the league.
"And that's what we've done since the start of the season. We have to be happy."
