May 9th, May 11th at 23:30, Liverpool will face Arsenal at home in the 36th round of the Premier League. Before the game, Liverpool coach Slott attended the press conference. It talks about Arnold's departure. Slott said he was disappointed with Arnold's departure, but Liverpool's tradition is that there will be the next outstanding player to step up!

Arnold left the team

Slott: "I am disappointed like all the fans who love Liverpool and support us. Not only because a good person is leaving, but also because of the loss of a top full-back. I have also experienced the departure of a good player when working at Alkmaar and Feyenoord, so I am a little used to it. Based on my experience and the tradition of this club, when a good player leaves, the next good player will come forward, and this time will be no exception.

"Do you know where Arnold is going? He didn't reveal anything, but said he was about to leave, so he was inconvenient to comment on whether he would participate in the Club World Cup. Look at my smile, we all know where he is going!

"The lineup selection will continue the standards and processes of last week. If Bradley could play at that time, he should have started to play against Chelsea, so this is his first chance to start."

Talk about Arnold

Slot: "It is not new to the outside world to say about Arnold, me or anyone, but the negative comments may be more than he has experienced in the past. I will not guide the fans how to react. The guys took a few days off and I will observe his status. Although I have communicated with him through WhatsApp, I still have to wait for the actual performance. Arnold stressed that as a team and a club, we should not be overly disturbed by the transfer statement. I hope all the energy is focused on the players and fans, and minimize the attention to Arnold - unless it is a positive voice."

Right back position is weak?

Slott: "Is this true? We have four players including Bradley and Curtis Jones. Although only one of them is the ideal candidate, Joe Gomez is also competent, but he is better at central defenders, and so is Konsa. If I now reveal that I am visiting a certain position to sign, you might be surprised that we will not publicly discuss positions that need to be strengthened. After all, we have just won the league championship and the competitiveness we showed against Paris has proved that it is not easy to find players who can improve the lineup, and we need to consider feasibility and economic affordability."
