Liverpool manager Arne Slot is pleased to see Federico Chiesa ‘s impact on the game but said the competition with Mohamed Salah is difficult. The Italy international
has been plagued by injuries and fitness issues, limiting his chances. However, he scored a late winner as Newcastle United lost to them in the Carabao Cup final before the international break.
“It’s good to see him have an impact when he comes on,” Slot said. “
It’s good to see these players available but he’s in competition with Mo Salah, which makes it difficult for him. “
But we know we can count on him when we need him.”
Meanwhile, the Dutchman was speaking on his club’s target for the final nine games. “We are all looking forward to the next nine games (in the Premier League). The players are getting their freshness back, that’s my opinion. “
But it’s not all negative. We played in the final against a very good Newcastle and we played very well against Paris Saint-Germain. In my opinion, we played our best game. “But unfortunately we lost on penalties. “
“Now it’s nine finals, they are important for us, starting with Everton, สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ not just because it’s a Merseyside derby but because we are in a very good position in the league. “
“I was disappointed with the final because I thought we should have lost it and that was the first time I thought we should have lost a football game (in my first season). “
“Defensively we weren’t solid, we weren’t good on the ball so there was nothing to be proud of in a final.””
