Trent Alexander-Arnold has already summed up what Arne Slot has privately changed at Liverpool

Since taking the reins at , Arne Slot has been on an unstoppable ride. in every decision he's made, from picking the starting XI to executing game-changing substitutions.

s bold strategy has answered his doubters perfectly, especially those who pondered his ability to fill the shoes of former Reds' boss Jurgen Klopp.

The Dutchman has steered the team to an incredible 15 victories out of 17 games across all competitions, marking the most successful start by any manager at the club. Impressively, no other manager has planted their flag in English football with such a winning spree in such a short timeframe.

Slot is pulling off this extraordinary feat with virtually the same squad handed down from Klopp—except, of course, the elusive summer signee Federico Chiesa. This highlights that much of the transformation has happened during training sessions at the AXA Training Centre, where more has changed than just the addition of the now-beloved coffee station.

Trent Alexander-Arnold offered insight into the fresh approach Slot has introduced, which brings a slice of the Netherlands to Kirkby, insisting that the team's evolution continues. "Training's more intense, if anything," Alexander-Arnold shares.

We're working in smaller spaces and I'd say it's a very Dutch way of playing, focused on ball mastery. For instance, you tend to play to the back foot every time. And if it doesn't go to the back foot then the session stops and you're asked 'Why are you passing it to that foot when it should be his back foot?' It is that detailed.

"The manager's a perfectionist and so as players you have to be too. We all agree that perfection doesn't exist, but we want to be as close to perfection as possible. That's what we strive for."

Such attention to the minutiae is a common theme for Slot, aided by first assistant coach Sipke Hulshoff and assistant John Heitinga. While the Reds boss recently explained much of his pre-match focus is on how Liverpool can hurt the opposition, Alexander-Arnold reveals that doesn't come at the expense of overlooking the potential dangers faced.

"Everything is very in-depth, very detailed," adds the right-back, speaking to Swedish television channel Viaplay. "He will really analyze the opposition and tell us where the weaknesses are and what their frailties are and then encourage us to go out there and try and punish them."

"We know our strengths and qualities and he tries to get the players who can impact the games into positions to have that influence. We have a lot of meetings to discuss details. Our foundation is that we know how we want to play - we want to control the game with the ball. Defensively, we know what we need to do and that's why we've conceded so few goals so far.

"Then within that there's chops and changes and different ways of working it around but we all understand our roles and, going into a game, he will talk us through them. We all know the foundations so it's not like it's something brand new every single week, maybe just minor changes to one or two players' positions."

The coach offered a glimpse into the thinking behind their training routines in conversation with ex-Liverpool keeper Sander Westerveld on LFC TV.

"We have 10 or 15 or maybe more certain exercises, but we sometimes tweak it a bit," Slot mentioned, adding "But the idea behind most exercises is quite similar. But if I see there are certain exercises (they) the players like, I'm not going to do them every day because that doesn't help.

"But those exercises where I feel 'Oh, I only have to do this and they will (enjoy it)', then I'll wait for the moment that they are really tired. Two things are really important: if you want to think I've been successful at AZ and Feyenoord and now at Liverpool, if that is true than the reason behind that is not all about tactics boards. It's about energy, you're working really hard to improve, and that they want to come in and they like what they are doing.

"My job and our job as a staff is to create fun while they are learning. I want to create a cultural atmosphere where players like to be at this training ground. So many people write about tactics, so it's not that difficult to understand tactics or good training ideas. But it's all about 'How do I bring this to the players? How do I get them full of energy on a daily basis?' It's a constant thought of 'What am I going to say tomorrow to get them going again?'"
