Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is looking forward to a reunion with compatriot Ruud van Nistelrooy even if his memories of their tussles in the Netherlands are not particularly happy.
As Felenoord coach, Slot Drew and Lost opposed the former Manchester United striker, who led the PSV Eindhoven for a little more than a year, had the last word when his team has completed with seven problems forward when he won the name of Eredivisie.
“I was hoping you would tell other people here that I lost once and drew once, however, you made it positive by saying we won the league name, which is true,” Slot said when his name was highlighted.
“Cody Gakpo on his team, so I’m pleased that he’s on my team now when we face Ruud because Cody scored (in a 4-3 win).
“Ruud is a very nice person first of all. I met him once or twice and he did really well when he was at PSV because PSV for the last one-and-a-half years they have been on top of the league table.
“But if you look at the second half of Ruud’s season, they didn’t even lose any more at all.
“After he left, they bought a few more players than when he worked there, but he still showed that he can compete for the title.
“He also did well at United and I can’t wait to see it, especially if we win. “
He played well at United and I’m looking forward to seeing it, especially if we win.
After Feyenoord’s name, Van Nistelrooy resigned with one game remaining in the season, which brought a lack of support from the club.
However, the scenario in which it uneartments in Leicester is possibly more difficult.
They are just two points above the relegation zone having taken only one point from the last three matches after victory in Van Nistelrooy’s first match in charge having taken over from Steve Cooper.
“I think the positive is that teams that are positioned in the lower half of the league table, they mostly lose games, but Ruud is there, they also won.
“Now it’s had two difficult effects in a row, but for those groups it’s special for them to move to Anfield and they know that if they go to Anfield they have to be more productive so that they never underestimate us.
“Maybe that’s the right thing about the 15 minutes (when they conceded twice in the 6-3 win over Tottenham) because we showed that we perceive that we can’t underestimate a minute in the Premier League because we’re not as smart as we might think we are if “We are at the top of our game. ”
Slot will be hoping that Federico Chiesa will be in his team during the start of last year at Anfield.
The Italian international’s exit from Liverpool’s career has been full of blows, as he has passed due to the window without pre-season and suffering to get back into shape.
After playing the moment part of the Caabao Cup victory in Southampton, London was lost on Sunday due to a disease.
“Unfortunately for him because he opposed Southampton, but unfortunately he got sick so we couldn’t bring him into the game,” added Slot, who continues without defenders Conor Bradley (hamstring) and Ibrahima Konate (knee).
