Liverpool<\/a> sit sixth and play at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.<\/p>\n\u201cWe are all different,\u201d Slot said in response to Rooney\u2019s aura comments. \u201cThe only thing we have in common, J\u00fcrgen and me, is that we both won the league \u2013 and that\u2019s not too bad, is it? I think the more a manager wins, the more aura he has. I don\u2019t know if you agree with Wayne Rooney, by the way, but if this would be the general opinion then I think people would probably tell you last season I had more aura than this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut maybe he\u2019s the only one who has this opinion; I don\u2019t know, you tell me. It\u2019s the first time that I heard this but I think it\u2019s fair to say that J\u00fcrgen definitely has an aura. I can talk about him, not about myself, but he definitely had that. But a winning manager has an aura as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the reverse fixture three months ago against Forest, then managed by Sean Dyche, Liverpool lost 3-0. At the City Ground Slot will come up against Forest\u2019s fourth head coach of the season, V\u00edtor Pereira. Dyche\u2019s strained relationship with Forest\u2019s players was a key factor in costing him his job, indicating where the balance of power is in the modern game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like to do what I\u2019m doing now and that\u2019s enough for me,\u201d Slot said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who\u2019s the most important person or not at the club. I think it\u2019s always the owners, isn\u2019t it? They have to hire the sporting director, they have to hire the head coach. If they make the right decisions then it\u2019s a better chance to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arne Slot has responded to Wayne Rooney\u2019s claim that the Liverpool head coach does not have the \u201caura\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-493479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
