Slot ‘Not Impressed’ With Liverpool’s Champions League Win Over Girona

Liverpool boss, Arne Slot is reportedly not happy with his side’s display in the 1-0 win against Girona which extended the Reds perfect start to the UEFA Champions League.

Although Mohamed Salah’s penalty in the 63rd minute—his 50th goal in the competition—was the game-winning goal, it wasn’t an easy one, with Slot having an especially unsettling first half.

“If you ask me about all the six games, I’m really pleased with all the results,” Slot said as echoed by Sky Sports.

“I’m really pleased with the five games, the way we played. I am far from pleased about the performance tonight.”

Asked what had made him so unhappy he added: “A lot. Especially two things.

“If you play against a team who has such a good idea about football and know how to bring the ball out from the back like some other teams we faced recently, like [Manchester] City or Real Madrid then you have to be so intense if you want to make it difficult for them.

“But if every time you are waiting a few seconds and then if you do press, you are so easily out-played as this team can cause you problems. And this is what they showed during the whole Champions League campaign, except for PSV Eindhoven away.

“I almost feel sorry for them because they deserve so much more in this campaign than the three points they have now.

“And every time we lost the ball we were not aggressive enough, almost every time they just went all the way to our goal.

“We had hardly any control in the game, maybe the second half was better – I’m trying to be positive.”
