Slot: Everton is an Incredible Defensive Team, Happy with Jota
Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool, expressed his happiness with his team's hard-fought victory over Everton with a score of 1-0 in the match that brought the two teams together in the 30th round of the Premier League at Anfield.
With this victory, Liverpool raised its points tally to 73, strengthening its lead at the top of the table, while Everton's points remained stagnant at 34 in 15th place.
Slot spoke about the difficulty of the match, praising the opponent's performance: "Everton have a great coach who has brought the team back to life; they are an incredible defensive team, and I wasn't surprised by the difficulty of the match. They haven't lost in 9 consecutive matches and defend with ten players, and they are very dangerous on the counterattack."
The Dutch coach confirmed that his team performed well and deserved the win: "I saw many things that I liked today; we knew that if we wanted to win this match, we had to keep a clean sheet because scoring more than one goal against a team like Everton was extremely difficult."
He added: "We are striving to finish the season in the best possible way, and today's match was an example of how difficult it is to achieve victory in the Premier League."
Slot spoke about Tarkowski's intervention, saying: "Everyone talked about that; why should I add anything? The matter was very clear, to the extent that I don't need to comment on it. Even those who don't like Liverpool talked about the incident, and everyone knows the decision that should have been made."
He praised the Portuguese striker Diogo Jota, who scored the winning goal, saying: "I am very happy for him; this is great for him and for us as a team, as well as for the fans and the coaching staff."
Slot explained his decision to include Jones in the right-back position due to the numerous absences in that position: "This is not something new; I talked to him earlier about the possibility of playing in this position because I believe he is capable of doing so. We are suffering from the absence of 3 players in this position, namely Bradley, Arnold, and Gomez."
