Slot: This is not a secret, and City did not create a great opportunity

Liverpool coach Arni Slot appeared in press statements, after beating Manchester City 2-0 in the 26th round of the Premier League.

The coach said: "If you want to win a big match, you need a neutral balance in fixed balls or scoring a goal and not receiving any goal. We removed them from the great opportunities because we are sure not to create the opportunities as they usually do."

On Liverpool's opening goal: “We, as a group of people, look at how to prepare the team, and someone has reached a wonderful plan and we knew that the space could be present. The ball hit the City player in the Salah shot was useful, because it was not as if we were to control the match ".

And: "The first half was better for them than us, regardless of the result. I don't think they got a lot of great opportunities but I felt they would score. Many in the second half, I do not remember that they had a great opportunity."

He stressed: "Ideally, we capture the ball more than the other team. But Manchester City, when it comes to the acquisition of the ball, loves it so much and feel comfortable with the ball. The only opportunity to win here is to defend very well."

He continued: "Three days ago we tied with Aston Villa and people told me that we were not in a good place, then after three days we won and changed the matter again. We work every day to achieve this and it takes three months of hard work to keep this."

He stressed: "There is no secret. We are 11 points, but Arsenal has played a match less than us and its match will be affordable, you always have to adapt to the challenge you face. A week ago we have seen how difficult Wolverhampton on our land. It will always be difficult matches, like today."

He concluded: "It is easy for us not to feel enthusiastic because we know what we have to do. This result was more related to defense than the attack. It is natural for the bases of the fans to be positive and it is important to understand the reason we reached this level."
