Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his team for their near-perfect performance. Despite being disappointed to concede a late goal in their 4-1 home win over Ipswich Town.
Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring after 11 minutes at home, then Mo Salah added to the score and Cody Gakpo scored a brace before Jacob Greaves struck
again in stoppage time to keep Liverpool top of the table by six points. Asked whether it was an “easy win” for his team. After the match, Slot was interviewed after the match and said:
“Yes, it was. The main reason is that we scored quickly. There are times when we play at home and concede early goals, but today we started the way we wanted. “
We were aggressive and controlled the game. For 85 minutes, the opponents were hardly in our half. They were still dangerous from the wing on the counter-attack, but we controlled the situation well. “
Of course we were disappointed to concede a goal from a corner kick for the first time this season. But for 85 minutes it was an almost perfect performance against an opponent who defends very deeply. “
As a new club manager, I don’t think about the number of points, but about making my team play the way I want. And today I am very happy with what I saw.”
The previous game, Liverpool played in the Champions League, beating Lille 2-1 at Anfield. Which saw Slot reveal his father criticised the team’s lack of excitement. And the Dutch coach was quizzed on his latest feelings: “I think he enjoyed today!”
“To be clear, what my dad meant was that the game was not as exciting as the standards of Liverpool, เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย and probably the standards of my team as well.
“Three days before that, we went to Brentford and created 37 shots, so we set a pretty high standard, so my dad said the game against Lille was not as exciting as the other games with Liverpool and my old teams. “
It would be easy to say that my dad has always been a big Liverpool fan because that’s not true, but now he is because I am working here.
