Slotte: Playing 10 games may lead to Liverpool and Arsenal draws 8 games; Jordan says the harder he works, the luckier he is

3:48am, 2 September 2025Football

Hupu September 1st Liverpool coach Slot attended the post-match press conference to defeat Arsenal 1-0.

Is this the third time his team has found a way to win a strong conversation game this season…

Yes. If we play 10 more games like this in the same way, I think there will be 8 draws, we win once, Arsenal once, and others, it may be an ordinary draw. This is also a good thing at times, as both teams perform very well on defense, as well as on substitutes.

But I think usually, Arsenal and we are able to create more opportunities in the game, but that also reflects the organizational structure and discipline of both teams in the absence of the ball.

Then you need some magic moments and Dominic does it, which ends up winning a game that, like I just said, usually ends in a draw. But I don't agree with you about the first game and by the way, I think we're totally worthy of winning the game against Bournemouth.

Regarding Sobosloy's worth to the team and his outstanding performance as a right-back in the last two games…

I don't think he's been doing anything in the last few games compared to last season. I think he always understands what a Liverpool player should look like:

If you wear this jersey, you should go all out, no matter where you play. As a midfielder, he is always the first to pull back and press with high pressure, and today I don’t think he did anything wrong.

He has been incredible at this position, and he may have played only two or three times in his life. So, this fully demonstrates his mentality. But he played very well, just like he played many times as an attacking midfielder.

The overall performance of Liverpool defense in terms of clean opponents...

If you are in a Liverpool jersey, you will get a lot of praise, but sometimes you may get some criticism, which is absolutely fine. They performed very well today.

If you are going to play against Arsenal, you have to perform well because their offense threatens to be huge. I think they'll be like, 'Wow, we did a great job' and they'll see Eze and Odge come on!

But my players also performed very well against Arsenal. So, this is a very exciting game. I think Virgil Van Dijk has been incredible against Newcastle, and he is just as good as everyone else today.

About his satisfaction with the team's performance early in the season and what needs improvement...

Mentality. Because many players left, many new players had to be introduced. At the beginning of the season, we have to face Bournemouth - they were already very good last season and had scored 6 points this season - away to Newcastle United, which is one of the toughest away games for every team in the league;

and then home against Arsenal, which is definitely one of the toughest three or four games of the season. We are already doing what we are doing-we aren't perfect, and by the way, we weren't perfect last season either.

But you can still see that we have a good mindset, everyone is eager to work hard to get a good result, and then you need a little luck, just like we are in Newcastle United and today.

However, I have said it many times, and I remember Michael Jordan saying, "The harder we work, the better our luck." I think this sentence applies to this team.

They work very hard, there will be some moments in the season, and we work the same way, but we don't find the luck to score goals, but we always give ourselves a chance because we work very hard.
