Thierry Henry already highlighted the daunting challenge facing Arne Slot at Liverpool

Thierry Henry has highlighted the challenges facing Arne Slot , who has stepped into Jurgen Klopp's shoes as Liverpool's new manager .

Slot is in his first month as Liverpool boss after Klopp stepped down in May, citing burnout and that he could not continue back in January. Not only does Slot have to emulate Klopp's charismatic personality, but he also needs to establish a style of play that earns the same level of respect from fans, pundits, and competitors alike.

Under Klopp's leadership, Liverpool became one of the most formidable teams in world football, thanks to his high-intensity approach which left many, including Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, feeling "tired" just watching them.

In February 2020, Henry - currently managing the France national under-21 and Olympic football teams - praised Klopp's footballing philosophy. "The intensity, the rhythm that you have in the Premier League , it's very high," said Henry in an interview with French TV station Canal Plus .

He added: "You see, when you watch Liverpool, even just watching them, you get tired. They move so quickly. When you go to Manchester City, before you have even looked up, there is pressing on you. If you control the ball, there are already three guys around you. The Premier League's intensity is immense."

Arne Slot's football philosophy isn't a far cry from Jurgen Klopp's, with both managers favouring an energetic 4-3-3. Slot's tenure at Feyenoord showcased a high-pressing game akin to the Merseyside intensity Anfield has come to expect.

Taking over from a revered figure like Klopp is no small feat, but Slot has been reassured by those who've been at the helm before him, including his right-hand man, Pep Lijnders, about the promising young talent at his disposal, which should ease his transition into the iconic club.

In the build-up to Liverpool's pre-season opener against Preston North End on Friday (July 17), Slot shared his enthusiasm: "I'm enjoying it a lot. The pitches are great. The boys are full of energy; Pep [Lijnders] and Jurgen [Klopp] already said to me last season that I'm going to enjoy working with them and they haven't lied at all."
