An unforgettable evening for Liverpool and Arne Slot. The 2-0 scored against Manchester City reigning champion of England is an incredible achievement for the path of the Reds in the Premier League, given the armored top at +9 on Arsenal and Chelsea pirates. The central defender is imperious as usual, Virgil van Dijkwho thus spoke of the result obtained against the citizens to Sky Sports UK: “I think Manchester City are a fantastic team. They are four times champions in a row. They have the quality to punish any team, but I think we were solid in defense and had great chances.”
Addressing the team indirectly, then, to keep their feet on the ground despite the gap from their rivals in the standings: “We could have scored more – analyzed the Dutchman -. It was a good match. We won and we move on. We focus on the next match. It’s the only thing we can do. There is no reason, in this phase of the season, to get one’s head. Naturally everyone would like to be in a position with an 11 point advantage over their opponents, but there are many twists and turns. Unfortunately we have injuries in the team and we have to deal with it.”
