A precious success that allows the men of Arne Slot to have a small advance before approaching the second round in Anfield this Tuesday, March 11.
Present at a press conference this Friday before the meeting against Southampton this Saturday on behalf of the 28th day of the Premier League, Arne Slot returned to this surprise victory against Parisian club in C1. For him, his team was really lucky to win in the face of the training of Luis Enrique given the physiognomy of the game.
“NWe were not a little lucky, we were really, really lucky. But as Michael Jordan said, the more hard you work, the more lucky you are. It is the greatest compliment that we can do to the players. Even in the second half, we were not at all the dominant team, but we checked them better than in the first half, “ He said at first before journalists.
Before continuing: ” We were mentally and physically so strong to produce such a performance in the second half, without conceding as many open occasions as in the first half. Even scoring a goal in counter-attack shows how mentally and physically strong players are. »»
A revenge PSG
Despite the advantage of the score before this return match, the Mersey club will have to be wary of the red and blue formation which will give everything to reverse the trend. Luis Enrique's men believe they have the arms to qualify.
“” It is very unfair, it is a very complete match, one of the most complete we made in the Champions League. In the first period, the XGs were largely in our favor. They shot once, they scored, their best player was Alisson. It's a bit weird, but I feel very proud of my players and my supporters. Sometimes football is unfair, you have to mark. We're going to take this in a positive way and think of the match in Liverpool. had declared Luis Enrique after the meeting.
And continue: “There is nothing to explain, we were much better than Liverpool, their best player was their goalkeeper, I repeat. We were really better than Liverpool, but they won the match. If you want to see the negative, I don't see it, I am very proud of my team. There is a second game left, we're not going to go. It promises!
