Arne Slot Manager
Peter Krawietz, who worked with Klopp for two decades, was discussing the importance of concise communication during high-pressure situations like half-time team talks.
Peter Krawietz said “All the manager has in total for his talk is five or six minutes so you try to do it as quickly, as short and as precise as possible. What is necessary to do in the second half?”
Arne Slot was reflecting on how he communicates with players during half-time to address issues and make tactical improvements, as evidenced in Liverpool’s performance over the season.
Arne Slot said “I felt that we were a bit too impatient. Every time when they threatened us – which didn’t happen a lot – it was from us being sloppy in passing or forcing it too much. So I said: ‘I think there’s more in you guys than you show at the moment. You can play with more intensity and better with the ball. Forget the shirt that you face, just do what you always do and hopefully we can create more chances than we did in the first half.’”
