Alexis Mac Allister has praised that the flexible transition stop that Arne slot has made in the Hot Seat in Liverpool.
The Reds dominated the Premier League and were six points in second place Arsenal, and they rode in the Carabao Cup final on Thursday. Although it was an integral player for the team, the Argentinian midfield Maestro was called up when Liverpool Tottenham Hotspur hit 4-0 in Anfield.
They turned a 1-0 loss to take the first stage of the semi-final and are now ready to compete against Newcastle United in Wembley in March, shoot for the first piece of silverware from Slot since taking over. There had been some skepticism about how Liverpool could adapt after Jurgen Klopp's era, especially with the last season under his guidance that did not end like hoped.
Mac Allister had initially reserved a new figure that filled Klopp's boots, but acknowledged that lock surpassed what he had expected. When discussing the departure of the predecessor from Liverpool, Mac Allister told La Media Inglesa: “He is a legend.
“It was sad, but it was his decision, and you have to respect that. It was a difficult season. If you get a new coach, things will change and everything can happen. We were lucky because the club found a great coach. Arne Is great.
“We do better than people's expectations. It is much better than I thought we would do, to be honest. And that is because of him. He is very strong and ambitious.”
Mac Allister made the switch to Liverpool from Brighton in 2023 and stepped into a more defensive position in what Klopp's last campaign became the team. The player is open about his preference for playing in the somewhat changed midfield formation.
His boss said last month: “When I think of Macca, I can't think of a bad performance that he is so consistent in his performances.” Mac Allister is always dependent and stood for almost every competition match in the starting line-up and played a crucial role when Liverpool achieved first place in the new Champions League format.
Many spectators were surprised by the excellent Run of Liverpool during the earlier stages of the season, especially since the team had only introduced one new face in the summer. Nevertheless, Klopp had carefully prepared the basic work that enabled the Reds to find renewed success, an attempt recognized by Mac Allister, which attributes his decision to largely join the former coach.
He explained: “Klopp, together with [technical director] Julian Ward, were the most important people for me who were here. They showed great interest in me and I had a conversation with Klopp before I signed. That was very important to know that they really wanted me here and that I would play and be an important part of the team. “
