Sloat: We will face a good opponent, and Salah will help us a lot

Liverpool coach, Arne Slot, appeared in important press statements, before facing Fulham, in the framework of the sixteenth round of the English Premier League championship.

Slott said: “I work with players of great quality here, and Salah is one of them without a doubt. He is responsible for scoring and is the reason we kept clean sheets several times as well because of his defensive work.”

He continued his talk about the team’s level against Girona: “If we had not received several chances, I would have felt more positive, but we relied on our goalkeeper a lot. The performance in the second half was better.”

He added: “We will face a good opponent, so we must We perform better against them to win, and you cannot achieve that without quality performance. Against Arsenal, they only conceded goals from set pieces, so they are a good team.”

And about Alisson. “Hopefully it's time,” he said What we gave him to fully recover will help him in the long term, and he must show that in the coming weeks by being ready, but we hope that he will not be exposed to many shots as happened in the last match.”

Regarding the readiness of Chiesa and Diogo, he said: “I think that Diogo Jota and Chiesa are ready to return to the team roster tomorrow, and Chiesa needs playing minutes, but when a player is absent for several months, it is difficult for the coach to give him those minutes, because you do not You know what to expect from him. Maybe it will be a good opportunity for him to play against Southampton in the cup. He needs to improve his fitness level and he needs playing minutes.”

He commented on the criticism directed at Darwin. Nunez said: “For me, he has an impact on the team. He has not scored the number of goals he wants and that we want, but he has an impact through the rate of effort and he is part of a team that scores a lot of goals and achieves victories.”

When asked about contracts The players said: “It doesn’t worry me, frankly. We accept the situation as it is. They play for a very good club and perform at good levels. That’s all.”

He concluded his speech by talking about Playing during Christmas: “I was happy before because I was watching a lot of Premier League matches, but when you are here I think it is useful for the players to have a few weeks to rest, but technically it is good for us to play a lot of matches.”
