"Thank you to coach Jurgen Klopp."

This is what Liverpool manager Arne Slot said in an official interview after beating Tottenham to win the English Premier League (EPL). The Dutch master, who took the helm of Liverpool as Klopp's successor last summer and won his first year in office, paid special tribute to his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool, the slot manager, won its 20th career championship early by defeating Tottenham 5-1 in the 34th round of the EPL at Anfield, Liverpool on the 28th (Korea time).

Tottenham's Dominique Solanke scored the first goal in the 12th minute of the first half, but Diaz, McElister in the 24th minute, and Gakpo in the 34th minute scored consecutive goals to lead 3-1 in the first half, and Tottenham Udo-gi's own goal in the 24th minute of the second half was scored by Mohamed Salah's wedge celebration in the 18th minute of the second half to seal the victory with a big victory.

"I feel really good. I don't want to say much," Arne Slot, the first Dutch coach to be honored to lift the EPL trophy, told LFC TV right after winning the championship. "I just want to thank Coach Jurgen Klopp for now."

The 46-year-old slot manager sang the song that Klopp asked Liverpool fans to sing after the last match in May last year shortly after winning the title. He showed his gratitude to Klopp by changing the lyrics from "Arne Slot" to "Jurgen Klopp." In an interview with BBC Match of the Day, the slot manager said, "I'm 99.9% sure there will be a message from Jurgen on the phone. We kept in touch at many moments during the season. I think he introduced me last season and showed me how great he is." "But the most important thing is that the team he left behind was able to lift the trophy," he said, stressing Klopp's legacy. "What Jurgen Klopp and Pep (Linders) did, the culture they created, the speed of work and the quality were excellent," he praised. "Little expected that he would become a successful manager in his first season at Anfield, and neither did himself. We started really well, and it helped that Manchester City had a difficult time that they hadn't experienced in five years." "When the season started, we would have been satisfied even if we were in the top four. But I don't think the top four alone is fair to the players because the players have been much better than him and they have shown that this season," he said.

Tottenham's Dominic Solanke scored the first goal in the 12th minute to give a surprise lead, but there was no doubt that the slot would be able to turn things around. "From the moment we got to the bus, everyone felt that we would never lose this game," he said. "The fans' support was really great before the game, during the game. Even though we were trailing 0-1, I felt that our team and fans could do it." "The fans always find a way to win. I am so proud that I have to give a big round of applause not only to the players, but also to the people standing here, sports directors and staff," he said in an interview with LFCTV.

Liverpool last won the Premier League five years ago, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had to be celebrated without fans. For both fans and players, lifting the trophy in front of Anfield supporters for the first time in 35 years since 1990. "Winning at Anfield is so special that words cannot describe it," 메이저놀이터 Mohamed Salah told BBC Sport. "Everyone wanted Palace to finish (against Arsenal on Wednesday), but I'm glad we did it here because we know what Anfield is like." "It feels completely different from winning in 2020. It's an incredible feeling. Back then, we had a pandemic and a lockdown. It's amazing to win here again after five years." Salah told Sky Sports with a big smile, saying it was 100 percent better than last time.
