Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool, shared his thoughts on the behavior of football fans in England. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, no matter how intense the rivalry among fans in England is, they can stand peacefully together in one place. For example, during the match against Newcastle, he saw Liverpool supporters in the stands.
Although they were few in number, they were situated among Newcastle fans and treated each other with respect. Slot emphasized that such a situation is unimaginable in the Netherlands and expressed hope that this unique experience in England will be preserved for many years.
He also noted that despite the strong rivalry, the main difference is that fans respect each other. For instance, in the Netherlands, guest fans are not allowed into home stands during matches between Ajax and Feyenoord.
According to Slot, this difference highlights the uniqueness of fan culture in England. It is worth mentioning that on Saturday, a derby match between Liverpool and Everton will take place.
In this game, relations among fans will be tested once again. Slot believes that it is important for this rivalry to continue based on sportsmanship and respect.
