Liverpool boss Arne Slot hails Xabi Alonso as a special coach. The Reds are set to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday. With Liverpool having won three games in a row and taking home nine points.
“It’s hard to say if you don’t work with him (Xabi Alonso) every day. But it’s clear he’s a special coach,” the Dutchman said.UFABET
“If you go to a club that is bottom of the league and then with the same players you win trophies. You don’t spend big on new players, you just bring in one or two good players. He had a season where he only lost the Europa League final. So that tells us exactly what a special guy he is.
“For me, it’s hard to say what makes him special because I haven’t met him and worked with him before. Maybe it’s because he’s worked with some great managers in the past. He’s a player who sees the game differently. Knows where he needs to be and he plays at a very high level so he knows how the players feel.
“That’s probably why he’s such a good manager. What makes him special is probably the way he talks to the players who work for him.”
