Slot rejects ‘weird’ Liverpool response to flying Premier League start
Slot Dismisses Concerns Over Liverpool's Premier League Position
Arne Slot has rejected notions that Liverpool players could become complacent after their impressive start in the Premier League. He noted that it would be unusual for players at such a prestigious club to lose focus on their performance. As the team prepares for a pivotal match against Crystal Palace, Slot highlighted the importance of maintaining concentration, especially with seasoned players who have already experienced success. He also commented on the early kick-off time, suggesting it shouldn't pose a problem for his squad.
In his press conference, Slot stated, "We are Liverpool, so players here are used to being on top of the table. It would be very weird if a player at Liverpool suddenly had his head in the clouds." He emphasized that players like Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and others understand the dynamics of the league and won't let early successes cloud their judgment.
Additionally, Slot is keeping a close eye on summer signing Federico Chiesa, who missed a recent match due to injury. He expressed uncertainty about Chiesa's availability for the upcoming game but remains optimistic.
