Slot: Away Games Against Wolves and Crystal Palace Were Tough, Pleased with the Team’s Start in the Previous Rounds

On October 6th, in the 7th round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace away with a score of 1-0. At the post-match press conference, Liverpool manager Slot expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance.

Slot expressed his satisfaction with Liverpool’s start: “It feels very special to be leading the Premier League before the international break. If we hadn’t won the match, I wouldn’t have been happy for the next 3-4 days. I am satisfied with the team’s start to the season, and I liked their performance today.”

Regarding the controversial penalty decision that was not awarded to Crystal Palace, Slot said: “For me, it was definitely not a penalty because Guehi had no chance of getting the ball at that moment, and the goalkeeper eventually cleared it.”

Slot talked about the difficulty of maintaining the lead: “In the recent two away games against Wolves and Crystal Palace, we didn’t have an easy time, but fortunately, we managed to win both. In crucial matches, the players stood up under pressure and proved themselves. The schedule after the international break is tough, unfortunately, Alisson is injured and will not be able to help the team in the upcoming matches.”

Slot praised the substitute goalkeeper Jaros: “He performed well. He also did great last season at Sturm Graz, helping the team win the Austrian league and cup. For a big club like Liverpool, having a capable third-choice goalkeeper is also important. For him, being a goalkeeper at Liverpool is a beautiful moment.”
