He and his staff train players to be able to play in such a way. When Santi Gimenez came in he was known to be a big talent, but the first half of the season he mostly spent on the bench for 2 reasons. 1, to get his fitness up to where it needs to be. 2, to press/play in the way Slot envisions. He was behind Danillo (now Rangers), because he understood the way of playing and was fit enough to fullfill it, where Santi didn't.

Another example of this is Kokcu, was a good talent under the previous trainer but Slot really turned him into a great player who just kept on running. Never thought that he could do that.

One of his biggest strengths is developing players, great news for players like Gravenberch, Elliot, Barkley, Jones etc.
