EXCLUSIVE: Arne Slot's NEW Liverpool rule for Ibrahima Konate REVEALED | OneFootball

The rise of Ibrahima Konate this season has been immensely refreshing to see.

The French defender has shown nothing but class when handed the opportunity to impress, and he has not disappointed.

The calmness, combined with Virgil van Dijk’s presence he has given to the back line has changed the defensive dynamic completely.

Last season, the defensive shape was a huge worry and the Reds had a habit of throwing away games. This nervousness that was present has now disappeared and been replaced with an assured, more mature attitude.

The 25-year-old has been a revelation. What is also incredibly impressive is how Liverpool have managed to keep him fit. And this could be down to the genius of Arne Slot changing a habit employed by Jurgen Klopp.
