Sunday afternoon was another successful one for Arne Slot, the manager of the Liverpool football team. During a post-match press conference, Slot had high praise for defender Jarell Quansah, who he believes has returned to his previous level of performance after a tough season. Although Quansah did not start in the game against Wolves, he came on in the second half and impressed Slot with his solid performance alongside Virgil van Dijk.
The decision to bring Quansah on was due to an early yellow card received by Ibrahima Konate, who started the game alongside van Dijk. After coming close to receiving a second yellow, Konate was taken off at half-time, making way for Quansah. Despite not being able to keep a clean sheet, Slot has been impressed with Quansah's recent performances in training and in matches.
This season, Quansah has only started two Premier League games, one of which was the first game of the season where he himself was substituted at half-time. Slot believes this early change may have set him back, but he is pleased with Quansah's recent progress. "I see in training sessions that he's back to being the same Jarell as he was in pre-season," Slot said during the press conference.
The manager also highlighted the importance of players like Quansah and Wataru Endo, who are vital to the team's success. While goals from star players like Mo Salah and Luca Diaz are important, Slot believes that players like Quansah and Endo are crucial when it comes to achieving their goals.
In the game against Wolves, Liverpool seemed to be on their way to a comfortable win after goals from Diaz and Salah put them 2-0 ahead by half-time. However, a brilliant goal by Matheus Cunha in the 67th minute made for a tense finish. After the game, Slot admitted that his players were a bit deflated despite the victory.
He also reflected on the team's performance, saying, "When the boys came in, I felt like they were a bit down, maybe it wasn't our best performance." He attributed this to the high standards that the team has set for themselves throughout the season. Slot believes that this win against Wolves was a bigger achievement than their 4-0 win against Tottenham because it showed their ability to win difficult games with a strong mentality.
In conclusion, Slot expressed his disappointment and frustration after their game against Everton, where they were unable to secure a win despite playing well. He believes that having a strong mentality is key to achieving success and was pleased to see his players display it in their win against Wolves.
