In the 7th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 away from home. After the match, Liverpool manager Slaughter attended the press conference and answered reporters' questions about the match and the current status of the team.
Regarding the injuries to Alisson and McAllister, Slaughter said Alisson could take a few weeks to recover, while McAllister suffered a groin problem. He emphasized that the team will fully support their recovery.
Speaking about becoming the first manager in Liverpool's history to win nine of his first 10 games in charge, Slotter said it was very satisfying, but also emphasized that he wanted to be remembered by the fans in the future for more than just this achievement. He thanked himself for inheriting a very good squad and team and hoped for even more special results in the future.
Regarding Hrafenbech's performance in the No. 6 position, Slot believes that he possesses certain characteristics of playing in this position, such as controlling the ball freely and turning nimbly. He emphasized that Hrafenbech's performance in this position not only helps the team's offense, but also allows him to play in front of good center backs such as Virgil and Ibe, which is also very helpful for his growth.
In terms of goalkeeper selection, Slaughter made it clear that Alisson is the team's No. 1 goalkeeper and that his injury is a blow to the team. But he also emphasized that the team's No. 2 goalkeeper, Kelleher, is very good and has proven himself. He also mentioned that even the number three goalkeeper played an important role in the game.
Talking about the secret of Liverpool's defensive excellence in the league, Slaughter said it involved many aspects, including the team's excellent organization of the attack, the efficiency of the strikers and midfielders, and so on. In particular, he mentioned that the team tired out their opponents by controlling the tempo of the game and excellent attacking organization, which led to many shutouts.
Finally, Slaughter praised the performance of Endo Air's substitute appearance. He felt that Endo's positive impact in the final minutes of the game spoke volumes about the team's cohesion and Endo's professionalism. He emphasized that it was one of the most positive things for the team.
