Liverpool star Michael Owen gave insights into the new situation of the team in a recent interview, specifically addressing the situation of striker Nunez and new manager Sloter.
Owen understands and gives advice on the dilemma Nunez is currently facing. He pointed out that with the arrival of Sloter, the competition for the forward position has become more intense, and Nunez, as part of that, has to accept the reality that he may not be able to start for a while. "Situations such as injuries and suspensions may provide more opportunities for Nunez as the season progresses." Owen said. At the same time, he reminded the club of the need to focus on Nunez's mental state and avoid the anxiety that sitting on the bench for long periods of time can bring. "Although it is not time for anxiety, the club should give him enough attention and support."
As for the new manager Sloter, Owen spoke highly of him. He believes that Slotter has quickly integrated into Liverpool's system after taking over the team and has led the team to good results. "Slotter's arrival was like a seamless transition, the team didn't change much and no key players left." Owen praised. At the same time, he warned fans and media not to be overly optimistic as Sloter will face bigger challenges ahead. "But at least for now, Liverpool fans can be happy that it's business as usual for the team, and that's the biggest compliment that can be given to Sloter."
In addition, Owen also looks ahead to the upcoming EPL 4th round match, where Liverpool will host Nottingham Forest. He believes that with the team's current good form, Liverpool is expected to win. "Liverpool can definitely challenge Arsenal and Manchester City this season, but every game needs to be a full effort." Owen said.
