The head coach of the Merseysiders complained about the epidemic of injuries and the harsh calendar, but honestly learned that the team was losing results due to the amount of 450 million pounds spent..
Liverpool's trip to the Amex Stadium near Brighton last summer was accompanied by championship celebrations, songs and inflatable toys. Ten months later, the picture changed dramatically: after a defeat to Fabian Gurzeler’s team (1:2), the head coach of the Chervony Arne Slot was hesitant to go to the empty visiting sector.
This defeat was already the 10th for the Merseysiders this season - this is the first time in the history of the Premier League that a proud champion has lost so often before losing the title.
At the post-match press conference, Arne Slot seemed agitated and spent a lot of time highlighting the reasons for this decline, citing the catastrophic staffing situation and a difficult schedule as the main ones.. Slot said that the team is small, just 62 years old after an important victory over Galatasaray at Liza champions. The situation was critically worsened by injuries to key players.
" As many times this season, after even a good match we were encouraged to make a profit, but Mohamed Salah and Alisson were injured, and two weeks after we were killed by Hugo Ekiteke. Doing without three miracle scorers (Ekitike, Isaac and Salah) is not going to be at the expense of the same team,” said Slot..
Even though Liverpool's only goal came after the opponent's defeat, the slot was revealed: Brighton will steal from the other half and deserve this victory. Fakhіvets also did not become unique in supplying the club with the summer transfer campaign, which, despite the colossal waste, did not give the team the required depth of stock.
“It’s completely logical that since you won the league last season and spent 450 million pounds sterling, then the assessment of experts, PMIs, patients and my powers will be even higher. In the middle of the club, we understand what kind of shouts have been raised and why it’s a busy season. No matter how much truth I would not have seen, which is still not enough for the camp in which we now find ourselves,” with respect for Arne.
Currently, Liverpool is in 5th place in the Premier League standings. And if this season, most likely, is given a ticket to the expanded Champions League, the team risks falling lower (Chelsea is breathing at the back and has a game in reserve).
Next up in the slots is a hot section: the quarter-final of the English Cup against Pep Guardioli's Manchester City, and then a trip to Paris for the quarter-final match of the Champions League against PSG.
In response to journalists’ questions about those who are not afraid of blame for their future in the club through such results, Slot summed up self-critically:.
" I could come and tell you all the reasons why we lost 10 times. Ale tse is not my work - please tell me the truth. My job is different, and I am trying to earn it myself,” summed up the mentor.
And these types of needs for the Dutch team are clear, and even before the Champions League of the upcoming season, the club’s kerivnitsa is unlikely to be pumped out.
