Liverpool coach Arne Slot appeared in a press conference following the 1-1 draw against Chelsea in the 36th round of the English Premier League, at Anfield.

The coach commented on the boos regarding the decision to substitute Ryo Ngomouha: "I don't think it was just a few; there were many who disagreed with the change, and that is completely understandable."

He added: "He was suffering from muscular problems, and when I asked him, he said he was unsure about his ability to continue. I knew this would be his reaction because he is an excellent player. In football, people often don't know everything. I am the coach, and I have to make decisions. Knowing the reason makes the decision more logical for the fans."

He continued about the match: "We started the game very well, and we had a great chance from a set-piece that almost made the score 2-0."

He continued: "Unfortunately, as happened last week, we conceded a goal from a set piece. It was a very naive goal. In the second half, I saw a completely different enthusiasm. We came close to scoring several times. As has happened many times this season, we hit the post and the crossbar." We couldn't control their players. They played today with a large number of midfielders."

He concluded regarding the boos from Liverpool fans after the final whistle: "It might have something to do with us not winning. It's completely normal for people to feel disappointed if Liverpool doesn't win."
