Slott: I will not enjoy the result, and this is difficult in Liverpool

Liverpool coach Arne Sloat appeared in press statements after beating Bologna 2-0 in the second round of the Champions League round.

The coach said: "It was not an easy game, in my opinion Bologna made it difficult - similar to Atalanta, one-man marking all over the pitch. Wait for the right moment if you pass through a completely open area - this happened several times. The last pass could have been better."

And about the things that pleased him this evening: “There were not many things that pleased me, except for the two goals, especially the second goal. Great ball from Virgil van Dijk, great attack.” “A great start from Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is always difficult to play with a team that takes a lot of risks. Overall, it was a good result but I will not enjoy it today.”

And about Ryan Gravenberch. "I was happy with him. I don't say that to the players in the first half because there were still 45 minutes left, but I said after the match that he had a great performance again. Ryan was great again today."

On the change in momentum in the first half: “I don’t think it was due to focus. It started with a free kick they got, then they conceded several set pieces, and the team is gaining momentum. You can see that they have a very good game plan.”

He stressed: “If we play against a team that is comfortable in possession of the ball, sometimes you have to work hard and suffer, what What pleased me was how they threw themselves in front of the ball, and did everything to try to keep a clean sheet.”

He concluded about his victory in 8 of his first 9 matches as Liverpool coach: “ It's difficult to do something special at this club. It says a lot about how we started and how the players got involved, the effort put in, and the staff helped me. There are more difficult matches to come starting on Saturday when we play at 12:30 after the Champions League match on Wednesday evening. It's good to start this way, that's clear
