Gary Neville has expressed disapproval of Arne Slot's decision to allow Liverpool players to stay in their own homes before home matches. This policy, endorsed by Virgil van Dijk, contrasts Neville's preference for team hotels during his playing days.
Gary Neville dislikes Arne Slot 's Liverpool change allowing players to stay in their own houses before a home match - something Virgil van Dijk endorses.

'It's everyone's own preference, but it's the rules now,' he told the Mirror. 'Personally, I like to sleep in my own bed, be with my family, and so it works out quite well. But, what we did in the past worked out quite well, too, as we've been very successful in terms of winning. 'Personally, at this stage of my life, I definitely like to be as much at home as possible. I've got all the resources to be getting myself ready in terms of recovery, whether it's a pool, sauna, ice bath, you know anything I need to to get ready. 'Obviously, we travel quite a lot ; FaceTime is a big tool that could sort of keep you a little with your famil
