In the third round of the Premier League, with Salah contributing two assists and a goal, and Diaz scoring twice, Liverpool ultimately secured a 3-0 away victory against Manchester United. After the match, Liverpool’s manager Slot gave an interview to the media.
Slot said, “In the first few minutes, Manchester United started very aggressively, and we had to work hard to get through that period. When you come to Old Trafford, you know there will be tough moments. Although a beautiful goal we scored was ruled out, we continued playing as we did before. I think this victory was deserved.”
“There wasn’t a specific game plan starting from the back; we always want to press high up the field. The game plan today was to have Sobotslói start from the right, but in fact, we played him on the left today.”
“Today, we showed many moments where our forwards were actively defending, which is what we need to win these matches. We said they would press aggressively, but I showed them three situations that led to Mazraoui getting shooting opportunities.”
“This was a great victory, and all these games are important. The first one was my debut as Liverpool’s head coach, the second was my first home game, and this was my first big win. We still have a lot to prove because the Champions League is coming up.”
“We have Gakpo, Núñez, and Kieza on the bench, and the squad depth meets the needs of a top club.”
