The coach of the "

Arne Slot considers the match against Chelsea (2:1) the most important of this season.

" We had to fight with all our might to bring the group to victory.

We defended really reliably with the whole team. Excellent primordiality. The game unfolded through those that, in my opinion, were praised for the song of the decision not for our benefit, especially the unrecognized penalty at the end of the first half. The story is 2:0 before the break - it would be completely different on the right. Then we conceded, but we showed ourselves again and scored another goal.

If your opponent is shorter, then you need to fight more. There are a lot of good teams in the Premier League, so if you want to outperform, you can fight and rely on the fact that the individual strengths of the players will play an initial role.

“We showed ourselves that it’s not a smut,” said the Liverpool head coach.

In the upcoming match, Liverpool will be visiting London's Arsenal, as the UEFA champions will play in Liza on the road against the German RB Leipzig, and London's Chelsea will now visit the Greek Panati right in the middle of the Conference League, after which we will accept Newcastle in the Premier League.
