Arne Slot, the coach of Liverpool, addressed the media at the AXA Training Centre and made it clear that he was relieved not to be asked about contracts for once. However, the situation with key players like Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold entering the final year of their contracts is something that cannot be ignored. Slot mentioned that he does have some input in contract negotiations, but prefers to leave the discussions to the appropriate parties behind closed doors.
Despite the ongoing contract talks, Liverpool has been performing exceptionally well on the field, with a recent 4-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen maintaining their impressive run of form. Slot expressed his belief in the quality and consistency of his team, attributing their success to the hard work and dedication they put in daily. He emphasized the importance of maintaining consistent effort rather than focusing solely on winning every game.
Slot is not concerned about managing expectations within the squad, as he believes that focusing on daily effort and improvement will naturally lead to positive results. He acknowledged the enthusiasm of the supporters and encouraged them to continue creating a supportive atmosphere at games, as he believes it has a positive impact on the team’s performance.
Overall, Slot seems confident in his team’s abilities and is focused on maintaining their high standards throughout the season. With a strong start in both the Champions League and the Premier League, Liverpool fans have reason to be optimistic about the team’s prospects for the rest of the campaign.
