View image in fullscreenBorn to run: Arne Slot says Springsteen and Salah can inspire a title repeat

Liverpool coach went to see the Boss at Manchester

‘At 75, he does three hours on stage with no rest’

Arne Slot believes his Liverpool players can take inspiration from Bruce Springsteen as they aim to repeat the success of winning the Premier League next season.



The Dutchman went to see the Boss behind enemy lines in Manchester on Tuesday night to witness a masterclass of a different kind.

Liverpool will be awarded the Premier League trophy by Alan Hansen after their final game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The next challenge for Slot will come when his players return for pre-season training on 8 July and the Dutchman waits to see if his squad can build on the glory days achieved during his first season in charge.

“You talk about elite mentality,” Slot said of Springsteen.

He took three or four drinks of what I assume was water.”

Slot has admitted to wanting more from Trent Alexander-Arnold during pre-season and hopes his players follow the example of Mohamed Salah in the summer, who was born to run and finished top of the fitness charts on day one under the head coach.

“One of the reasons why you play at a club like Liverpool is because you have elite mentality, and you have the mentality of a serial winner,” Slot said.

“But sometimes as a manager you have to help them a little bit to inspire them, or to be hard on them, or to compliment them.

“I’ve seen this already with Mo Salah, I always give him as an example, because last season he was number one when we had this [fitness] test in the league and that told me a lot.

If you want to be a serial winner, it’s just about consistency in your discipline throughout your whole career or your whole life.

“Last season many of my players, and myself, hadn’t won the league in England.
