Arne Slot Discusses Difficult Victory Over Burnley
Arne Slot, the coach of Liverpool, appeared in a press statement after the 1-0 victory over Burnley in the fourth round of the Premier League at Turf Moor.
The coach said: "I didn't fully grasp the situation; after 90 minutes, when I saw how much stoppage time there was, I was shocked. I am still shocked when we got the penalty because five minutes of stoppage time was unbelievable to me. I felt shocked and then happy because Mohamed scored the penalty. "
He added: "It wasn't a match where we created many chances; it's tough against a team that plays in their penalty area. We kept playing and passing the ball. Their fatigue increased, which is natural when you have to defend 80% of the time, then we resorted to bringing in as many attackers as possible."
He emphasized: "It was a difficult match, but all matches in the Premier League are also tough. We kept a clean sheet, and from open play, we rarely conceded any chances. That's a good thing."
He continued: "It's natural for us to improve more and more over time, especially with many new players, but at the same time, we have 12 points so far.
Regarding Alexander Isak's readiness: "Now he is ready to play at least 45 minutes. Let's see if we will rely on him on Wednesday or Saturday."
