The legend of the Liverpool John Barnes, spoke to the microphones of BBC Sports of his former team, engaged in a tour of the United States, which yesterday won 3-0 against Manchester United. In his opinion, it will be more difficult for the Reds’ players than for those of other teams who have to get used to a change of coach, due to Klopp’s ability to create a precise identity in his teams: “In many ways” – explains Barnes – “it is more a question of players than of adapting to the manager. But it will probably be more difficult for the Liverpool players, than those of clubs with other managers, to adapt. Because Jurgen has been here for eight or nine years and has played a key role in creating an identity for the football club. However, the players seem to me to be up to the situation and seem to be happy with Slot”.
Meanwhile, Slot himself, at the end of the friendly match won in the United States, spoke at a press conference, saying he was satisfied with the path taken so far by his team in retreat, even if not entirely: “Yes, I’m satisfied” – he said – “but not with everything. We are very happy with the result, we scored some really beautiful goals. But I don’t think we had enough control of the game because United were dangerous more than once. It’s a 3-0 victory, but the score could have been different tonight too”.
