The Arne slot is at a distance of immortality.
You may not know when observing fresh, calm and collected behavior that often, but not always, as seen in Goodison Park last month, he possesses.
You can know itself. The calendar has been relentless: 28 games since the last international break in November, on November 18 already in 2025. Then, the manager, who thinks of football since the second one that awakens, may not have time to stop for reflection.
Next Monday, you can finally do that, without any game for two weeks.
When he takes the short flight home to the residence of his family in Zwolle, he can be beaten with the sudden understanding that he is a winner of the Cábao Cup, about to win the Premier League in a gallop and perhaps he becomes a European champion.
If only the title from here, this is still one of the best debut seasons that the Premier League has witnessed. Standing in the shadows of the Grand Jurgen Klopp, with only a new signing, the Federico Chiesa less stained, an end among the top four felt like a couple for the course.
Arne's slot can take another step towards immortality if liverpool can overcome the PSG
Liverpool could win three trophies during the impressive first season of Slot at the club
Harvey Elliott's late goal in the first leg means that Liverpool has a 1-0 advantage against the PSG
But if he wins the three trophies? That will be one of the best training campaigns that we have seen in football, full stop … No imports of English debut or football.
The next six days are what determines where this campaign will be inroid in the registration books. Boys and girls in Anfield in Anfield who are perhaps having their first taste for football can talk about this season with their own children and grandchildren when they are old and gray.
First standing on the road of Liverpool are Paris Saint-Germain, possibly the second next to Slot as the best team in Europe this season. The Reds contribute a 1-0 advantage in this second section after what the French newspaper L'Equipe described as 'theft in English'.
Then, on Sunday, they will travel to London to play Newcastle, or whatever Eddie Howe's men in the middle of a terribly temporary injury and suspension crisis, and seek to defend the Carabao Cup in the Wembley final.
Slot is standing on the shoulders of the giants and is already writing his name in the history books in this old club. It could be the best season for Liverpool since 1984, when Joe Fagan won the European Cup and Milk Cup.
So, is Slot allowing to dream? “No, in a week like this I don't dream at all,” he said Monday night. 'I simply know that I have to work very, very, very difficult to prepare the team in the best possible way. That is what I try to do in each game.
“If you have a game as we did last week, you feel like:” Can I even go to sleep? Or do I have to do even more (analysis)? So not, do not dream at all at this time this week. We are focused on what we have to do in the game.
'The week began very well in terms of winning Southampton on Saturday. Now we are waiting tomorrow, everyone expects a football game like this. In Anfield, two great teams playing one against the other.
The head of the PSG, Luis Enrique, believes that the winner of this draw will reach the final
The PSG can resort to stars such as Khvicha Kvarathskhelia, Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi
Bradley Barcola is another PSG player who could represent a significant threat against Liverpool
Two great de facto teams. The opposite number of Slot, Luis Enrique, acknowledges that the winner of this draw will go to the Munich final. He also insisted last week that the PSG is sure will cancel the deficit of a goal.
Perhaps its assertiveness is lost in the translation, slightly, but the Spanish has every right to trust the players that are available to him, such as the Housing Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvarathskhelia and the child Wonder Bradley Barcola in the front.
There are also Vitinha and Joao Neves in the center of the countryside, the two little Portuguese boys who dictate the game in a way that suggests Xavi and Andres Iniesta in Prime Barcelona.
Enrique achieved that couple, of course, when he won the acute for the Catalan Club in 2014-15. At that time, Slot just began his management trip at the Dutch Club Cambuur.
Now the two bosses are the same and add: 'They are such a complete team, such a well -managed team and we experience it last Wednesday. Some people said we play badly, I do not agree. I only think they played tremendously well.
'The PSG is the most complete team we have played so far. What I want to say completely is, of course, that we have faced Arsenal and Manchester City and it is not that there are great differences or margins, but the quality and intensity in which they play combined with quality.
“And they have a great, great manager, because it lets the team play in a way that is not easy and gets the best of each player.”
This game is really a game worthy of the final, since the PSG was 22 undefeated before last week and having a young team that should, and probably, under Enrique's guidance, only improve.
Not many people expected success as soon for Liverpool after the exit of Jurgen Klopp
In many ways, they are two teams at the beginning of their trips: PSG in the era of Mbappe Post-Kylian, where the 'galactics' have been abandoned by young and energetic talents, Liverpool in a transition season after the legendary chief Klopp sailed towards the sun.
And that last point should serve as a reminder, if necessary, how sensational this campaign for Slot and its relentless training team has been. No one, maybe not even the Liverpool data gurus that chose him as the chosen one, success expected him to continue so soon.
Of course, as Dutch itself often points out, Liverpool has not won anything yet.
But the banner in the Kop that has side illustrations of six legendary old bosses: Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Fagan, Kenny Dalglysh, Rafa Benítez and Klopp, soon they may need a little editing.
