Liverpool coach Slot calls his side the best team off the ball in Europe

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has described Premier League champions Arsenal as “by far the best team off the ball in Europe.”

Slot made the remark during his pre‑match press conference before Liverpool’s final Premier League game against Brentford.

The Dutch coach said that football has evolved since Arsenal captured the title this season.

“Winning the league here in England is never easy, and they have done a tremendous job this season, so congratulations to them,” Slot said.

“First of all, because it’s the first time in 30 years that a team has had 40 per cent of the goals they had from set‑pieces.”

“I think Luis Enrique said – and I completely agree with him – they are maybe by far the best team off the ball in our league, but I also think in Europe.”

“So, football has changed, has evolved, and we have to make sure we are able next season again to compete with Arsenal and with Manchester City again with our own brand of football.”
