Slot will face better calls for and much more scrutiny throughout his time with Liverpool than at another level in his profession, with the Reds one of the vital distinguished golf equipment within the most-watched home league in world soccer.
Ought to he endure a gradual begin to life at Anfield, comparisons to Klopp will inevitably come up amongst pundits in England, however Kromkamp is correct in telling him to dam out any such noise.
The 45-year-old has already been a hit at one of many largest groups in his homeland, and whereas the expectations of managing LFC are totally different from Feyenoord, main the Rotterdam outfit remains to be a extremely pressurised job when you think about the membership’s historical past and the raucousness of their fan base.
Slot will certainly have realised previous to becoming a member of Liverpool that the highlight will probably be on him on a regular basis, and that he’ll inevitably be judged in relation to his predecessor’s work. If that duty scared him, we wouldn’t now be speaking about him as our new head coach.
