Slott: I will not answer this question, and being in the lead is normal

Liverpool coach Arne Slot appeared in a press conference, to talk about Sunday’s confrontation against West Ham in the nineteenth round of the English Premier League.

The coach said in his speech: “It's not surprising that a club like ours is at the top of the league, but we know how many good teams are in this league and they are able to win almost every game as well, but there is no extra pressure - there is always pressure if you work at a club like Liverpool.”

And about Connor’s case Bradley and Ibrahima Konate: “They won't be back for the West Ham United game but there's a week between [West Ham and the next match against Manchester United on January 5] so let's see how close they are to that.”

He added: “It is difficult for me to tell you at this moment when they will return because they have not trained with the group yet. We hope that in the coming days they will approach this situation. I have to make the right judgment the moment they return to the team.” The team.”

And about the future of Van Dijk, Salah, and Arnold: “In general, I am not talking about contract positions here. It would be surprising if I was the one who announced that someone had extended his contract, so I think That's a different time, so yes, keep asking about the future of this trio because that's your job, but you probably won't get an answer from me.”

He stressed: “From Obviously, from January 1st, things may change a lot for you, but they... "In ongoing talks with the club, so let's wait and see what happens. As long as they keep performing like this, the manager or head coach, I should say, is happy with them."

On whether Van Dijk is performing at the best level of his career: “It is difficult for me to say that because I was not here when Virgil was close to winning the Ballon d’Or, for example. He was a great player for Liverpool for many years. I can only tell you my experiences with him, he was great not only for what you see during the match, but he has a huge impact during training as well. He is the vocal leader of this team. “Every time we start training, he's on top of his teammates and leading by example, so for me he's been great so far and we just hope he can continue to show that during games and in training sessions as long as he's with us.”

And about Soboslaj’s absence due to suspension: “I think Dominic was great against Tottenham Hotspur and the idea and plan was for him to be great against West Ham, but he is not available so there must be another player who is great against West Ham.” Important.”

Regarding the team’s unbeaten record away from home in the league, after winning seven matches and drawing two of nine matches: “Our performance away from home was good, but perhaps “It has to do with the teams we faced in the first half of the season, we mainly played teams in the top half of the table at home and other teams we played away from home, so that may have something to do with it.”

He concluded: “We are a strong team outside Our stadium and in our stadium as well. I don't see any reason why we should be stronger there and here, but we can judge better at the end of the season after we play against all the teams at home and away to see what suits us best."
