Arne Slot says he feels a responsibility to give Liverpool -fans a day to remember on Sunday after their last league title was packed behind closed doors in the midst of the COVID Pandemie.
The Reds are now at a moving distance from the Premier League title and will confirm their status as champions with a point against Tottenham on Sunday.
Boss Slot knows that there is a lot of anticipation on Sunday with tickets for the game such as Gold Dust. But the Dutchman says that he can bear the weight of expectations and give supporters a moment to cherish forever.
“It's a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact that the last time this club won the competition, it was, so everyone is looking forward to Sunday,” he said. 'But we are aware that another task has to be done and that is (to win) one point.
“We are aware of it and our fans are aware that we still need a point, we are certainly still consciously in this building.”
Slot, his staff and the players gathered on Wednesday to look at Arsenal versus Crystal Palace – A defeat of Gunners would have confirmed the title for Liverpool.
But although the manager is a huge sense of occasion this weekend, he insists that he is not dreaming of lifting the trophy or partying to celebrate a memorable triumph.
Asked if he allows himself to think about what could wait, he said: “No. I get these questions and then of course it comes up. But that is the last thing you are currently thinking of as a manager.
'The only thing I think of is that hopefully all players will be available and to prepare them. I know how difficult it was to win against a team that was almost relegation (Leicester, last weekend). It was difficult to win the victory on the line.
“I'm not dragged along at all. We have already confronted Tottenham three times, I know how difficult it is to beat them for us. That is my most important focus on that. '
