What to expect
‘The story of an unforgettable season’ Virgil van Dijk
The definitive chronicle of Liverpool's footballing renaissance under Arne Slot, filled with exclusive interviews and unparalleled insight
An engrossing and inspiring account of a new manager’s remarkable rise to prominence.
Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool FC with little fanfare but a burning ambition. As a relatively unknown figure in English football, his appointment was met with scepticism. How could he hope to step into the shoes of the club’s greatest manager of the modern era? High drama and era-defining results would follow; unprecedented achievements, and pain too. But what was it like from the inside?
James Pearce, Liverpool correspondent for the Athletic, draws on exclusive interviews and unparalleled behind-the-scenes insight to tell an unmissable story of a season, and a Premier League victory, like no other.
From Slot’s beginnings as ‘The Bergkamp of Bergentheim’ to Liverpool’s deft use of player data; from the high drama of turning-point matches to the backroom negotiations around keeping talent like Mohammad Salah at Anfield, Pearce retells Liverpool’s dramatic recent history in enthralling detail and at addictive pace.
Walk On is the book for any Liverpool fan to understand just how Slot transformed Liverpool into Premier League champions, and how he intends to keep them there.
With an exclusive interview with Liverpool chairman Tom Werner, the book also features conversations with Arne Slot, chief executive Billy Hogan, captain Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, former assistant manager Pep Lijnders, former director of research Ian Graham, and a number of ex-Liverpool players including Sander Westerveld and Dirk Kuyt.
