It’s also for the ones that we’re already in, have now already one year of experience with playing together with these new players. And I think you don’t even have to look that far into other teams in the Premier League.“And I particularly mean one team that were maybe struggling a bit like us during the first half of the season, but added two players in the second half of the season.
It’s also definitely about evolving the ones we brought in last season and the ones we already have longer.“And I think there’s a lot to be won for us to win in things we can improve compared to this season. “We’ve conceded far too many goals because the team that has won the league this season has shown how important it is to play off the ball, so when you’re not in possession.“They’ve [Arsenal] hardly conceded a goal and that has become more and more important because maybe the teams that won it the years before were a bit more focused on attack and scoring goals, but Arsenal have shown how important it is not to concede this season.”Slot believes he will emerge a stronger manager from this season’s setbacks, having experienced failure for the first time in his career so far.“It’s the first year since I’m a manager that we don’t in the end of the season play for anything which means we cannot win anything anymore because although it’s very important for us to qualify for the Champions League, it doesn’t feel as if you win something,” he added.“So that means it’s the first season that I’ve experienced a lot of setbacks and disappointments and what I’ve learned is that I can also be a manager who thinks or maybe not going constantly in the right direction.“So I’ve been lucky enough to only experience positive, positive, positive and then the job is much easier, I can tell you, than in a season like this.“But I think I’ve learned from myself that I can handle that situation.
I haven’t lost myself, not in general but also not in moments.“I think I’ve been mainly the same person as I was when things went really well and you never know how you’re going to react on that. But I know now that I can also be a manager if things are not going as perfectly as I wanted to.”Slot has been under immense pressure this season due to poor results and performances.
