Slot: This is the case of the duo, and every match we will play will be difficult

Liverpool coach Arni Slot appeared at a press conference to talk about tomorrow's confrontation against Aston Villa, in the meeting of the 29th round of the Premier League.

"Both of them will not be available for playing tomorrow. Cody is the closest to return but Joe will need some time. He will miss the stadium To be with the team.

On the expansion of the points difference to 10 with Arsenal in the event of winning tomorrow: "I see that there are 13 games that must be played and the next match is the most important. The Aston Villa match is out of home, such as Wolverhampton at home, is a difficult match again."

He added: "Aston Villa has a great record on their land, and it may be more when they play in the evening, so we know that this will be a challenge but we have a very good record outside our land this season. We have performed well this season in general as well, so it is a match Everyone looks at her. "

He added: "It is always difficult to play against Aston Villa, they have a good coach, and they always have a very good game. Aston brought many good players in the winter Mercato, and they had already a very good team. They qualified for the first eight in the Champions League, So this means that we will face a strong team. "

He stressed, "Every match in this period of time for each team in the league is difficult."

On Rashford and his transfer to Aston Villa: “It was the first time that I faced him in the United States tour and I admired him. I really liked his speed and how he has a nice length and feels comfortable with the ball, so I think he is a very good player, of course I do not hope that he will shine tomorrow but I will be completely surprised If a player does not appear in his quality because he is a very good player in my opinion. "

"This is because we will reach the end of the season - not because of us, but because of what people do. We won other matches on our land and outside one goal when the competition was also close. I remember the Crystal Palace match outside our land when the competition was close in the end." .

He continued: "If this happens at the end of the season, people will talk about stress, but to ensure that you win the Premier League if you are ahead of one goal, it will always take a lot of defense and a lot of hard work."

"During large parts of the season, it is just a hard work, but at the end of the season we are talking about tension, in the last stage of the season, many matches are very close. Not only our match. If you look at all the results, even Barcelona yesterday, which is that He admired him a lot and really played a good football this season, in the end they were about 1-1.

And he continued: "You have to fight to the end, and these matches need to win to achieve something, we rely a lot on the experience of the players in order to win the title, we train with them and try to prepare them. We hold a meeting before the match to try to prepare them in the best possible way."

Regarding psychological and physical pressure due to playing every 3 days: "It depends on how the match passed. That is why I said after the Everton match that it was not surprising to me that the players were more tired than they were in the previous matches because of the way the match went - each The things that happened, especially in the last eight minutes, which cost a lot of energy for everyone who participated. "

And between: "For this reason you cannot compare tomorrow's match with the last one [against Wolverhampton], I think. The last moment with a lot of things. "

"We missed our 9 or eight -game striker, but he has come back, he played 60 minutes against Wolverhampton, and with the appropriate number of matches we play now, you don't expect him to play 90 minutes In the next three matches against Aston Villa, Manchester City and Newcastle, but we will participate, as we hope, in all three matches, and we hope that he will get a lot of minutes as well.
