Slotte: The beauty of football is that Liverpool spent so much, but it was still a kid who was killed.

At 23:30 this Sunday, Liverpool will face Arsenal at home in the third round of the Premier League, which is considered to be the strongest champion rival to defend the Premier League this season. This afternoon, coach Slot held a pre-match press conference. The key points are as follows:

1. No new injuries:

Bradley, who came on as a substitute against Newcastle in the last game, has trained normally this week; McAllister, who was absent in the last game, has also started training this week; Van Dijk, who suffered a fierce tackle in Gordon in the last game, has no problem.

2. Talk about summer window:

I am satisfied with the current lineup because I can send a substitute who can change the game in the first two rounds, Chiesa for Bournemouth and Ngumoha for Newcastle. Of course we have been trying to bring in players that can help us, but there is no reason to complain about insufficient staff after playing for only two rounds. If we can strengthen the roster, we will bring in the right players at the right price.

3. Talking about the aspects that Arsenal needs to improve:

a lot! Because this opponent was already very strong last season, the lineup has been greatly improved this summer. One of the advantages of Arsenal, and one of our problems is that if we included the preseason (versus Bilbao), we had already conceded four goals in the set piece.

4. Talking about how important it is to not lose points at the beginning of the season when competing for the Premier League this season:

If there are players setting a point record this season, I would be surprised, for example, a team has scored more than 100 points because the competition in the Premier League is very fierce.

Everyone will get better in the late season, and they will definitely perform better at the beginning of the season, so it is OK to lose a little points at the beginning of the season, but not too much. Of course, it is best not to lose points.

5. Tan Nguoha:

Today's press conference has been talking about our buying and buying and buying, and the best part is that we can also talk about a 16-year-old (17 years old today) youth training teenager who scored the winning goal, partly trained by Chelsea and partly trained by us. The beauty of football is that although we spent so much money to buy people and of course we also sold a lot of people, we still have a place for Ngumoha. If we only buy people but don’t sell people, there may be no room for them.

From the current situation, he still has the opportunity to show his strength in the next game, because we don’t have more signings yet, so he will continue to have the opportunity to make the roster and have the opportunity to come on the bench.

6. Talking about Werz's relatively plain performance in the last game:

Only 40% of the time of the entire game is the actual game time, so it is difficult for Werz to have too many opportunities to touch the ball, and many times the balls are in the air, so there are not many balls on the ground. I also know that Salah also wants more touches, so it's due to your opponent and their style, but this is not the first time we've played like this and we know we can do better!

7. Talking about what aspects of Ekitic can improve:

He can improve physically. I hope he does more when he is out of the ball. Of course, he has done a good job. For a player who comes to the new league, a player who joins us for a little late pre-season training, it is normal to adapt. Frankfurt also demanded oppression, but not as strong as ours.
