SLOT HOPES SPURS WIN A TROPHY
The Straits Times
|December 22, 2024
But not the League Cup, in which they are paired, or their next EPL game on Dec 22
-
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is a fan of Ange Postecoglou's gung-ho approach to football and hopes he wins a trophy - just not the League Cup - after the teams were paired together in the semi-finals.
Premier League leaders Liverpool also travel to face Spurs on Dec 22, needing to win to keep the fast-charging Chelsea at bay.
Tottenham, chasing their first trophy since their League Cup win in 2008, beat Manchester United 4-3 in a chaotic quarter-final in the same competition in midweek.
Postecoglou has been criticised by some for his unwillingness to compromise on his attacking instincts but he gave a passionate defence of his approach after the match, asking: "Are you not entertained?"
And Slot admits he is a devotee of the Australian's methods, saying his team are a "joy" to watch.
"I hope, hope, hope that he wins a trophy," he said on Dec 20.
"Not the League Cup but I'm completely a fan of his team for the Europa League because people always talk about trophies, trophies, trophies, and that is so important.
