In October, Slot mentioned in an interview with Sky Sports that there might have been one or two adjustments since his arrival.

– Maybe we have implemented one or two new rules, but I honestly can’t remember which ones. There was already a strong culture here with players arriving on time. I see no reason to introduce rules just for the sake of it, said Slot.
