Liverpool manager Arne Slot has undergone significant changes since taking over from Jürgen Klopp. Previously working with skilled players like Santiago Gimenez and Lutsharel Geertruida at Feyenoord, the Dutch coach now manages elite talents such as Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, and Virgil van Dijk.

 

Slot has been notably impressed by Van Dijk. Anco Jansen, a close associate of the Liverpool manager and an ESPN analyst, shared an intriguing conversation about the Dutch defender. During a recent paddle game, Slot praised Van Dijk’s extraordinary abilities, particularly in training positional games, stating, ā€œThis boy is not normal when it comes to football.ā€

 

Despite facing criticism last season, including claims that he was past his prime, Van Dijk silenced his critics, especially after Liverpool’s 1-0 Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea. The Dutch defender acknowledged he wasn’t at his peak in the 2022/23 season but has since returned to top form this season.

 

As Liverpool deals with contract uncertainties involving key players like Van Dijk, Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, the No. 4 has recently indicated his wish to stay at Anfield beyond 2025. The responsibility now lies with Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes to negotiate an extension for the Dutch star, who many feel deserves a new contract.
