When discussing football subjects, it’s necessary to speak in terms of facts. And the facts say Liverpool have won seven out of eight Premier League games, including yesterday’s clash against Chelsea at Anfield, which has taken them to the top of the table.Therefore, there are lots of analyses going on in order to discover the secret behind this Arne Slot’s success. Where does it lie? Well, it seems like the answer is – in bed.Blues were looking great for three minutes and then turned Red(s) againThe Dutch tactician changed a significant pre-match routine ahead of home games compared to what Jurgen Klopp imposed back in the day.It has become customary for big clubs to organise for their squads to stay overnight at a hotel the night before a game. And that’s exactly what Klopp did with his team throughout his spell at Anfield, first at the Hope Street Hotel before later moving to the Titanic Hotel.Slot, however, decided to change that. The team now spend the night before a game at Anfield in their own home, and the Dutchman explained why in an interview with Sky Sports.##EDITORS_CHOICE##On any new rules he has implemented, he said: “Maybe the only one, I don’t know if it’s a rule, but they were used to going into hotels a lot the day before the game.”And that’s what we’ve changed because I felt and my staff feel the best place to sleep is your own bed, it gives you the best rest possible.”That’s not a rule, but that’s maybe one of the few things we’ve changed, that players are before a home game in their own house, in their own bed, instead of being in a hotel.”That’s not a rule, but that did change.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8424491##Instead of staying overnight together, the team gathers on the morning of their match for a meeting before travelling together on the team bus.So far, it has proved to be a successful change for both Slot and Liverpool.
