Slot: Beating AC Milan Proved Our Worth; Busy Schedule Is Not an Issue

On September 21st at 22:00, the Premier League will see its 5th round match, with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth at their home ground. Prior to the match, Liverpool’s manager Slot attended a press conference.

Regarding the fatigue from three games within a week, Slot said, “This is not a major issue, it only slightly affects us. The players felt tired when facing Milan because we were up against a strong opponent. Nottingham Forest also gave us a hard time in the previous game. However, pressure never comes from the schedule but from our opponents.”

When asked about Nunez’s form, Slot said, “He needs to keep working hard to ensure that goals come soon, which is exactly what he did against Milan. His fitness is improving, and I believe the goals will come soon. But now he needs to compete with other forwards.”

Talking about the opponents, Slot said, “Bournemouth has had a good start, the head coach has done very well, they have played some great matches, and we hope to perform better than in the last league match when facing such opponents.”

When discussing the victory over AC Milan in the last round, Slot said, “We’ve faced difficulties in the past few years, and we had to prove ourselves. Liverpool has set high standards for itself over the past few years, and we must strive to meet these standards. We have taken a good step forward.”

When it came to the support of the fans, Slot mentioned, “We must understand that the support of the fans is an essential part of our team, but our performance has not yet been enough to gain full support from the fans. Hopefully, the fans can give us more help.”
