Liverpool boss Arne Slot insists his side must be on top form when they host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League tie at Anfield on Tuesday.
The first leg in France, the Reds won, but the game on the field was far inferior and might have been defeated if it hadn’t been for a miraculous save from Alisson Becker.
“I’m not surprised by their performance. They impressed me a lot. Before this game, I watched a few of their games because we had a little more time than usual and I was impressed by the intensity they played, the unity in the team, the rotation in midfield. They are a very complete team, a very well-organized team and I think we experienced that last Wednesday. “
Some people say we played badly สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น but I don’t agree. I think they played better. I don’t think this season we have faced a team that combines quality with intensity so much, but I think we can do better. “
“I’m not saying we played badly or not well, but we are a better team than last week and that’s what we have to prove tomorrow with the help of our fans.”
When asked if Liverpool need to show their best performance this season,
“Yes, I think so because this is the most complete team we have ever faced. What I mean by perfect. “
Okay, we have faced Arsenal and Man City and it doesn’t mean that they have many gaps, but the intensity they play with, combined with the quality they have, they have a lot of quality and they have a great manager. He lets the team play in a way that is not easy to play against. He gets the best out of every player and he brings an incredible work ethic to the team.
“That’s why I think we have to be at our best tomorrow. However, for example, we didn’t have the ball away at Man City, but at home we had a completely different performance against Man City than away.” Is this the
most important game for Liverpool this season? Slot replied: “Yes, because it’s the next game, because it’s the next game and the next game is always the most important.”
