Slott: Isaac + Ekitic will be considered at the same time. Everton came to mourn when Jota died

In the fourth round of the Premier League, Liverpool will face Everton in the Merseyside Derby! Before the game, Liverpool coach Slott attended the press conference.

Isaac

Slott: "I don't think I'll reveal too much to the media on the day before the game. Yesterday was a restorative training, and this afternoon we'll train, so it depends on everyone's physical condition. Isaac's physical reaction in the first hour of his appearance is more obvious than before, so to see how he recovers today, we will consider the lineup arrangement in a comprehensive way.

"The adjustment routine is because of the early game, we give the players extra recovery time, and it's well known that sleep is an important part of it. Playing three games a week is the norm for us, but playing three games in six days is not common. Schedule like Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday is indeed very intensive. ”

Isaac and Ekitic

Slott: "I would consider having both of them play at the same time because there are many factors to weigh. Of course they would consider it if they were in their best form, but our basic formation was 4-3-3 and we also played double centers at the end of the game. Ekitic can play on the left, which is the advantage of our lineup and there are many options. If someone is in poor condition, we can use 4-4-2, depending on the condition and physical fitness. Now it may be that all the staff are healthy, and I have 21 players to choose from, which is normal. ”

Derby grudge

Slott: "They were in good shape when they met last season and have now completed important signings, such as Gallish, worth 100 million pounds, who performed very well. Although there is a competitive relationship, I admire them… When Jota passed away, they came to Anfield to mourn. Their captain and sports director both expressed respect, and this respect after the tragedy was valuable. We look forward to this game, every Anfield game is special, but the derby is even more special. ”

Derby Day

Slott: "This is different from other derbys, and I appreciate this in England: fans can live together no matter how fierce the competition is with Everton, Newcastle or Manchester United. I saw fans wearing Liverpool jerseys standing with Newcastle fans, which was impossible in the Netherlands. I hope to maintain this tradition, the fans are passionate and respect each other. Ajax and Feyenoord in the Netherlands do not allow visiting fans to enter the court at all. The presence of fans on both sides will make the game more exciting. ”

Derby atmosphere

Slott: "I didn't see the atmosphere in the city, because we just finished a major game on Wednesday. I went home and recovered and watched some Champions League games. As long as you haven't entered the city, you won't feel it. We know how special this game is. Only when the bus enters can you truly feel the meaning of the derby to the fans. ”

Derby recruits

Slott: "All away games are special, but Newcastle away games are very similar to Everton's away games, so this group of players is not the first time they have experienced such a game. Full of confrontation, strength and shoveling. We must not only focus on competition, but also think about how to win. It is difficult to organize the ball while winning the confrontation, because they have many excellent players. Not sure they will take a long pass or a backcourt organization, some of their players can take into account both styles. Van Dijk or Salah may introduce the situation to new players, but these players are not newbies and have all experienced similar games. Special, but not entirely different from the special matches they have experienced in the past. ”

Salah

Slott: "Great players can contribute value even if they don't play. But few people can still influence the team like Salah is like the one who is missing, especially the winger. Although it is difficult to maintain his level against Atletico Madrid, he still contributes goals and assists, which is why he is always highly respected. Many players perform well in the team's good times, but not much can still contribute in the adverse situation. But I would rather see him get back to his form against Atletico Madrid. He had hardly any chance of touching against Newcastle, so it was tough, but his performance against Atletico Madrid was pleasing to the eye. ”

The lead with two goals was tied

Slott: "We only played five games, and it is hard to say what long-term model exists. We were too open to Bournemouth and lacked Heraffenberg, and were hit and lost two counterattacks, but Atletico did not do this, so we cannot compare. It is certainly not ideal to be tied with a two-goal lead, and we need to improve this as much as we improve other links. But the advantage is that if we regain our urgency, we can score again. If you have to maintain high physical and mental intensity throughout every game, you may exhaust your physical strength by the end of the season, so although it is a good thing to score goals, it is not ideal to keep playing like this.

"We were criticized when we led Bournemouth 2-0, but we continued to attack, and we would not retreat or slow down. This is why we always maintained 80% of the intensity when we played in the Champions League, because everyone wanted to see Liverpool never stop. The same was true for Atletico Madrid: we created more opportunities than other games, we didn't want to keep the lead, but we wanted 3-0 or 3-1. Maybe we should be more calm, but I like this mentality."

Results Pressure

Slott: "Everyone in the football world values ​​the results. If we continue to lose, maybe someone else is sitting here! It will be more effective to point out improvement points when winning, which is easier to accept than to say that improvement needs to be improved after losing. When losing, you will try to emphasize the positive side, but you must clearly point out the links that need to be improved."

Curtis Jones

Slott: "He has returned to the ranks of competition! It can be said that he has entered the roster."
