The head coach of Liverpool FC, Arne Slot, spoke at the press conference held before his team's match against Leicester City in the 33rd round of the English Premier League, which will take place on Sunday evening at King Power Stadium.

The match will kick off at 5:30 PM Cairo time, and 6:30 PM Mecca time, and the Reds hope to return with three points to continue the battle for the Premier League title.

Slot said about the team's needs in the transfer market: "For me, I see this summer being really big. We are very happy with the current team, and if we manage to keep our stars, it will be a very successful summer. Renewing Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk is a fantastic step."

Regarding the renewal of Virgil van Dijk's contract, he said: "This reflects the true ambition of the club. We want to keep our best players, especially those who have performed excellently over consecutive seasons. Our ability to extend their contracts even at the last minute shows the strength of the football project within Liverpool."

On the future of Alexander-Arnold with the team, he said: "Arnold recently returned from injury and participated in training yesterday. Every time he joins the team, he shows great commitment, and when he steps onto the pitch, he proves to be an exceptional player. We definitely want him to stay with us."

About the competition in the Premier League this season, he said: "We have won five of the last six matches, and the whole season has been full of challenges. Except for three or four matches, all games have been very difficult. Most victories came by a margin of only one or two goals. The Premier League is extremely competitive."

In response to the recent criticisms directed at the team, he said: "We did not make radical changes to the team last summer, yet our level did not drop. I don’t get too caught up in what is said about us or written. My focus is entirely on the team and the work on the pitch."

Regarding the possibility of making changes to the team formation, he said: "It is important to maintain the stability of the starting lineup as long as the required performance is being delivered. However, at the same time, it may sometimes be beneficial to introduce one or two elements to refresh the energy. This is not always necessary, but we appreciate the quality of the available players."
