🗣️ Ruud Gullit Praises Liverpool's Title-Winning DNA
Football legend Ruud Gullit has shared his thoughts on Liverpool's Premier League triumph — and credits the club’s deep-rooted football DNA for their success.
Speaking on The Overlap, the Dutch icon highlighted how Liverpool’s identity has remained intact despite a major change in leadership.
“What I like about Liverpool is that the club gives you a DNA — what Liverpool is all about,” said Gullit.
“They brought in a coach who did almost the same thing, slightly different, but technically very similar. That’s what you need — not someone totally new, but someone who builds on the same DNA.”
🏆 Liverpool Are Premier League Champions Again
Under new head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool have lifted the Premier League trophy — a feat many thought would take years after Jurgen Klopp's departure.
But Slot’s approach wasn’t to start from scratch. Instead, he built upon Klopp’s winning structure, keeping the core values of pressing, teamwork, and discipline alive at Anfield.
