In an interview with Greek media Sport24, Liverpool defender Zimikas talked about the team's coach Slot, who said that Slot changed the entire tactical system.
Zimecas said: "Slot changed the entire tactical system, his investment in every training is incredible, and some aspects are crucial to him. One of them is to lay out the defense in five seconds, and he made a rule: when we lose the ball, all players must retreat to the back of the ball to defend within five seconds."
"This command, combined with his tactical mind, new ideas and the way we play, all of which add up, is exactly what we do. What was missing in the last few years of the championship. Ten people in the outfield were defending, plus a goalkeeper, which was very important. This was the first thing he told us since day one, and that was exactly what he wanted. "
" At every meeting before our game, he would say something that I think is the most important: 'In all the tactics I can teach you, how to play, if you don't give it all, if you don't really want to win, we can't win anything'."
