The Daily Telegraph report that, while at Feyenoord, Slot has asked his players to press 'all the time'.
His style of play, which is based around pressing and dominating possession of the ball, makes use of statistics and video clips. It is said that the players were 'bombarded' with these as a form of 'indoctrination'.
Furthermore, he also adapted the popular rondo drill so that players could only take one touch before passing it to a team-mate. They also cannot return the ball to the player that passed it to them, and must keep the ball below the knee at all times.

Speaking to Dutch media about the interest from Liverpool in his services, Slot said: "Obviously, it's nice when a big club approaches you.
"At the same time, you also know there are still some very important matches coming up, including the cup final, so we focused fully on that first.
"I have the impression that a good offer has already been made. It seems that Feyenoord is going to make the highest-paid Dutch transfer fee for a coach.
"Now, it's just hard bargaining, which is everyone's right. But I absolutely believe they will reach an agreement."
