In an interview, Salah recalled a conversation he had with Slot before the season started, where Slot asked him to be an example to the other players. Salah said he assured Slot that he didn't need to be told to perform well, as he always strives to be at his best. However, he appreciated Slot's clear expectations and the responsibilities he was given in the game.

Salah also compared Slot's management style to that of his previous manager, Jurgen Klopp. He said that Klopp's approach had become too comfortable for him in the final seasons, and that Slot's direct and open style was refreshing. Salah felt that Slot's willingness to discuss and exchange feelings with the players contributed to their success.

Salah also reflected on the team's achievement of winning the league without some of their key players from the 2020 season. He felt that it was even more special because the team had a group of talented players who had never won a league title before.
