Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has bad memories of trying to play against Arne Slot’s clubs back in the Netherlands.
The former PSV Eindhoven winger admits that he looks forward to working with Slot, who is the new head coach at Liverpool.
Gakpo said he does not know Slot personally, but facing his team in the Eredivisie was always an uphill battle.
“I have not spoken to him before… [but] I do know that he has always made it very difficult for us at PSV and is known as a very good trainer, of course,” the Netherlands international stated on international duty.
When speaking about Slot’s playstyle, Gakpo said: “I think so, otherwise the club wouldn’t have appointed him.
“If you talk about neat football and high pressure, with the latter being a very big characteristic of us under Jurgen Klopp, then that is also something we are certainly used to.”
