Slot, says Hughes, should bring the praise because he recorded two integral players in Van Dijk and Salah in Angeld for new terms, and the head coach also praised the former Bournemouth boss for enabling him and his employees to work for working in the AXA training center.
“First, Richard deserves by bringing these contracts across the line, for it and a lot of loan,” said Slot. “Because people spoke for eight or nine months that so many things were not done properly by us.
“In the end we got what we wanted, and Mo had its best season in his story in Liverpool in most situations when you simply look at your numbers.
“And for Virgil it is difficult to judge this according to numbers, but I think he also has a great, great season. Apart from the fact that he extends these two contracts, I like so much that I can do my job and that he always supports me in the best possible way.
“Mainly, people judge the sports director on the signatures he brings. I would also like to assess him about how he lets me work here and always gives me confidence and always positive and creates a way of working that is ideal for every manager.
“So I would like to give him more compliments than for the expansion of the contracts that I really like that he did it.”

He added: “[Virgil staying] Helps it is clear that it helps, but it is not the only thing that helps. It is always the complete package. Even if Virgil and Mo were not extended, every Liverpool would still see one of the largest clubs or the largest club in the world.
“I think there is a lot of attraction for the Liverpool football club in general, for every player we want to bring in.
