- Van Persie hailed Slot and ليفربول
- Man Utd star revealed he loves watching the Reds in action
- Liverpool face أرسنال يوم الأحد
Van Persie, who guided متحد to their last الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز title in the 2012/13 campaign, has hailed compatriot Slot for his brilliant tactics and style of play, as he boldly claimed that Liverpool are currently playing the best brand of football in the world.
Speaking to reporters, the هولندا icon said: “The way Liverpool play the game is the ultimate form of football. We all love to play attacking football and want to serve attractive football to the fans. But that is not always possible. What I love about Liverpool is that their ideas are the absolute foundation for a game. The way their game starts and the way they end the game.
“The match at Newcastle was, from that perspective, the ideal football you want to see as a coach and as a fan. There are very few games where we all see the perfect match. There are a lot of great coaches around, but how often do you get a victory with 3-0 or 4-0? In the Premier League, the level of the players is so high.”
ال فينورد boss added, “Slot has great players at Liverpool. But it is their spirit, their attitude and willingness to fight for each other, which I love about this Liverpool team. There were stages in the game against Newcastle when they were breathtaking.
“Everyone was fighting for every yard on the pitch. So many players running distances where they have to cover space, doing defensive work, to the highest level of stamina. And that is how you stay in a game and get a win. It is the principles which are all top in Slot’s team. Every one of his players is prepared to stick to those principles and that is why he wins matches.”
The Merseyside club will be back in action on Sunday as they host Van Persie’s former club, Arsenal, in a blockbuster Premier League clash at Anfield.
