Sloat: Tottenham is a strong opponent, and I hope they win a championship

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

Slot said. About the Carabao Cup draw: “An exciting draw, and in general any draw will be exciting, because the remaining teams are all very good. We will play in a month, so we will see, but overall it is an exciting draw.”

And about the Southampton match He said: “What made our match against Southampton special is that we saw many teams playing with their main players, with the exception of some of them. For example, United played yesterday with players worth 100 million, but for us, we played with players from the academy. This is what makes our team special, which is that there is room for young players.”

He added: “We must praise Tottenham. I used to watch them before, and when I hear their name I remember Gareth Bale, Paul Gascoigne and Luca.” Modric, they had a strong identity in my opinion, and Ange Postecoglou brought it back. I enjoy watching them, especially in the Europa League. Some results were not in their favor, but they beat City, not in the same way we did, but they achieved a well-deserved victory, completely dominated, and did a great job.”

He pointed out: “What Ange Postecoglou is doing is a great job. I really hope they win a championship this season, but not the Carabao Cup of course because we will face them.” "

Regarding the Premier League schedule, he said: "Frankly, I don't look at it much. Some teams will suffer from bad luck, like Arsenal, which received red cards, and now one of our players has been sent off." We dropped points and we will face Tottenham, which is a match closer to our match against Arsenal at their stadium, so I do not look at the table much, I will look at it at the end of the season.”

He confirmed: “Conor Bradley and Konate They are training individually, but they are not with us. They are still in the rehabilitation stage, and it is important to prepare them to be ready in the long term.”

He commented on the return of Chiesa and Elliott: “The return of each player is a boost.” Big for us. We saw against Fulham, for example, how we needed all the players, Diogo, Harvey, Assist Darwin, and his scoring in the Carabao Cup, and this proves that we need all the players, and Chiesa is improving a lot and he had to adapt to be ready for the long term, and as I always said, when... Absent a long period of time from training, as you need time, especially with the strength of this league.”

He continued: “Luis Diaz is able to play as striker No. 9, and he has done that well in the past.” But after the Leverkusen match, he played more as a left winger, but in general we have options, and yes, Diaz is part of our thinking in the center forward position, and a week ago people said that Darwin’s numbers were not good, and then he made and scored within days.”

He concluded his speech about suffering The team from the beginning in the matches: “When I watched our match against Fulham, I saw that, but according to a certain context, where our player Robertson suffered a blow, and then according to the rules here, he had to leave the field and then return again. What I mean is that that did not help the score at all. We did not score. We received a red card, but other than the first 40 minutes, I liked what I saw. I saw intensity and a desire to enter the penalty area.”
