Does the title of Liverpool in the “Premier League” lights up a new era of open competition?
Winning the title of the Premier League this season, Liverpool has completed what no other team of the best clubs in England has been achieved since 2017: the traffic jam as a sudden league champion.
“What we know is that no one considered us the US competitors for the title when we started the season,” said Liverpool coach, Liverpool coach.
No unexpected team has reached the title of the championship from the first season of Antonio Conte with Chelsea. Although Liverpool’s coronation is not compared to Leicester City’s historical surprise in 2016, the team was classified 13/2 to win the title with some betting offices at the beginning of the season, especially in light of the start of the iconic coach Juergen Klopp.
This was not to be the Liverpool season.
Slot recently declared: “The main objective that I was told is to look at the players and give my opinion, in order to start the real project in the second and third year”, has recently affirmed slot.
But under the guidance of the Dutch coach, Liverpool solved his twentieth title in the English Premier League before the end of the season, equivalent to Manchester United, and perhaps launched the beginning of a new era that witnesses the opening of the title after years of hegemony.
Manchester City domain, which lasted seven consecutive seasons under Pep Guardiola. Unlike Liverpool’s coronation in 2020, Manchester City does not seem happy to return to the summit next season, in particular with the main changes in its training.
Liverpool took advantage of the sudden stumbled of the city in a way in which the other teams could not keep up. Although Arsenal, the runner in the last two seasons, has seemed closer to the removal of the city from the throne, he is heading again to finish the season in second place, after a season of injuries and instability.
The slot inherited a team that Klopp reconstructed and managed to form it to become a competitive force, with Mohamed Salah he continued to shine and the development of players such as Alexis Mac Alister and Ryan Kharginbrich who formed the heart of the midfield.
The slot was characterized by persistence and patience, which caused great success, while City and Arsenal suffered from stumbled.
Despite the superiority of Liverpool of 15 points in the lead, it is not clear if it is a long period of control under the leadership of slot.
Slope joined a rare list of coaches who won the title in their first season, such as Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini and Antonio Conte. Among these, Mourinho was the only one who managed to defend his title.
Since 2009, only Manchester City, led by Guardiola, managed to keep the title, after having crowned him six times in seven seasons between 2018 and 2024.
Guardiola, with the support of the club owners in Abu Dhabi, can be able to build another great team, but faces a difficult challenge to compensate the stars such as Kevin de Bruyne and Kyle Walker, while Bernardo Silva and Akay Gundogan approach at the end of their career and nobody knows how Rodri will return after being cut in the ligment.
Despite the offensive power of Earling Halland, the way the city plays is more foreseen, making the task of the abdomination of prestige a complicated question.
On the other hand, Liverpool should be strongly active in the summer transfers market, after Federico Keiza was the only significant signature since the slot took over. Although Salah and Virgil Van Dyck have renewed their contract, their age (33 and 34 years) raises questions about the ability to continue at the same level.
Liverpool will find a new striker to reduce the burden on Salah, as in the case of Sadio Mane? What if Alexander-Arnold remained, as indicated by the strong relationships that Real Madrid has?
As for Arsenal, despite the disappointment of his local hope, he reached the Champions League semifinals, after the reigning champion of Real Madrid, and it seems that the Mccill Artita project is close to his maturity. Perhaps the contract with a global top scorer is the last missing piece.
On the other hand, clubs such as Newcastle and Aston Villa are strong formations and could soon aspire to compete for the title, while Chelsea is gradually improving.
Liverpool has returned to the top, equivalent to the Manchester United record, but the scene seems more open than ever.
