As dawn breaks in Beijing, the fire of the 17th round of the EPL is about to ignite, with Liverpool taking on Tottenham Hotspur on the road. In this grand pre-match press conference, Slaughter gave his insights into the current competitive landscape of the EPL table, especially the title race with Chelsea.
Slaughter says the race for the Premier League table is becoming more buttoned up. He revealed that one team brought in just one man, Chiesa, in the summer transfer window and the newcomer has not made many Premier League appearances. While another team splashed out on new blood and reaped the same rewards. Slaughter points out that Liverpool's current lead in the table shows the world that success is not just for teams that throw a lot of money at it.
Slaughter also emphasized that sticking to the current roster and focusing on the youth academy can also lead to success. He believes that there are various paths to success, and the key lies in the quality of the team's players, especially the young talents nurtured by the youth academy. This diverse model of success makes the world of soccer interesting and challenging. With a wry tone, he quips that perhaps owners will now consider that the best strategy is not to bring in new players. Of course, he also admits that Chelsea would have the same chance of winning the title if they were to spend as much as Chelsea.
Talking about the upcoming battle against Tottenham Hotspur, Slaughter said that his team will do their best to win the away match. He firmly believes that as long as the team is united and motivated, they have the ability to beat any opponent and continue to sit at the top of the table.
