Slott: Let s focus on the joy of winning the championship, rather than over-distracting Arnold

May 16th, at 3:00 on May 20th, Liverpool challenged Brighton away in the 37th round of the Premier League. Before the game, Liverpool coach Slott attended the press conference.

Slot this week

Slott: "I've been doing well this week so far, indeed!"

Flynnon

Slott: "This issue is a bit boring. The media has been paying attention to contract renewal throughout the season. Now everyone is eager to know the signing plan. We will not discuss it publicly before signing, and you can ask questions at that time. Bradley and Joe Gomez are both competent for this position, so we won't be helpless even if Arnold leaves the team. Of course, the club is always concerned about the potential ball that can improve the strength of the lineup. ”

Arnold

Slott: "As we all know, I have not been at the training base in the past few days, and the same is true for Arnold. Today is the first joint training for the whole team, which provides a good preparation cycle for Monday's match against Brighton. For teams that win the championship, it is not easy to train for many consecutive days, so we need to find a balance point to ensure full preparation. During the season, these players have almost never had a breathing opportunity, and other teams may be able to rest, but we are always fighting. I think it is necessary to make it clear here. "Will Arnold participate in the joint training?

Slott: "Official training has only started today, and it is too early to discuss the deployment of the specific lineup."

Motivation players

Slott: "To be honest, it is indeed the case, and it is even more difficult to motivate players. Not only are we facing the compression of the schedule, but there are differences in the actual impact. Looking at the match against Arsenal, what I saw was a team that fought from the opening whistle to the final whistle. The team's mentality is still very good. The key is to play away against Chelsea, play at home, and play away against Bray. All are tough battles, which reflects the importance of locking the championship ahead of schedule! "

away performance

Slott: "Getting away victory in the 12th away game is of great significance. We have analyzed away results at team meetings. If we want to participate in the championship, we must improve this link. Facts have proved that we have done a very good job and performed well at home and away games. This is the only way to maintain competitiveness in this league surrounded by strong enemies. Many excellent teams can win consecutive games, and only by stable home and away games can we stand out."

Team spirit

Slott: "This is exactly the fun of your media work: when you win, you praise us for being focused, and when you lose, you guess the morale is disastrous. A away game against Chelsea is one of the most difficult battles. The expedition to Brighton can also refer to the encounter between Manchester City and Arsenal. Therefore, if you fail to win, the problem is not only about the "away curse". There is only one fact, but reporters can choose a positive or negative narrative perspective. We believe that the current preparation strategy is reasonable, after a long season, The three-day adjustment period is enough to keep the whole team ready. We are not at risk of being distracted."

Friendly player

Slott: "I think it is unfair to change the evaluation of any player by just one or two games. After all, we have worked together for the whole season, and my understanding is based on ten months of observation. We are clear about the strength of our players. The remaining games are not used to provide a basis for decisions next season, nor will they shake existing judgments.

"Are you all hinting that we will introduce new players? The current lineup has already made us very satisfied. The decision to sign aid requires comprehensive consideration, but some players who have long lacked opportunities to play may not want to experience a similar situation again, so this is a dynamic adjustment process. We are always ready to strengthen the lineup, but the operation is extremely difficult. After all, winning the championship itself proves that the team is full of talents. The club has proven countless times in the past that we can always make the right choice. ”

Chiesa

Slotte: "His strength deserves more opportunities. He does have the standard of playing for the team, but needs to compete with Salah, Dias and Garkebo. These three have performed extremely well throughout the season, so Chiesa often gets opportunities when she is behind in the score, which is certainly not conducive to his development. But before he recovered to the same competitive state as other players, I lacked sufficient reasons to adjust the starting lineup. Jota and Nunez are in the ranks of competition. Does he have the ability to play for the team? Of course, but I always think that the existing trio is more trustworthy, so it rarely breaks this forward configuration. ”

Winning the championship to celebrate

Slott: "Even in the Dutch League, the final battle is equally important. Usually after the season, players will spend vacations with their wives and children who have not been reunited for a long time, and I fully understand this. Even if they failed to win the championship, they would have had two to three days off instead of four days. The key is to find a balance at the end of the season, both keeping physical and ensuring refreshing spirits. ”

Arnold

Slott: "I am deeply grateful that no one mentioned this before! There are hot discussions on public opinion, expert comments, and fan reactions, and now it is time to come to an end. Let's focus on the joy of winning the championship, rather than over-distracting the Arnold incident. ”

Transfer Plan

Slott: "If you follow my social media updates this week, you will know! Celebration time does not mean stop thinking about the future. My thoughts have floated to next season. If this week is the critical period for our decision-making, then now everything has settled. It is normal for me to lie on the sofa tonight and imagine next season. Perhaps the players are concerned about national team events at the moment, and these games are more important to them than the next few days. The home match against Crystal Palace will be a special moment worth looking forward to. Our management is accelerating the transfer work and holding more strategic meetings. ”
