Slott: Substitute Kolkz because he doesn t want to fight 10 people; Isaac needs to find his state slowly

Hupu September 15th Liverpool coach Slot attended the post-match press conference to defeat Burnley 1-0.

Did he get comfort from the team's mentality of winning again at the last moment, or is he worried that the winning goal will come too slowly?

both. I know how difficult it is to create opportunities against a team with 11 players in the 18-yard penalty area. By the way, it's great that they can do it because they almost got a point so I'm not complaining about the opponent, I just want to explain how difficult it is to play against Premier League teams because their players are also excellent.

If they all return to defense, and because the goalkeeper makes long passes every time, they hardly try to send the ball from the backcourt, and we can't score through set pieces, the only thing that can score is sports warfare. But if the opponent has 11 players in the penalty area... it will be difficult for you to suppress it.

This is what we see today - you approached again and again, but almost got blocked every time. There were almost no great opportunities, so we might have expected a draw throughout the game, but we also tried our best to substitution and send all the players who can attack on the court.

I think there were almost 7 people in the penalty area in the end? I don't know if it has anything to do with our goal, but we did create penalty shots and just before the penalty, Flynnpon gave us a great chance. So, a sigh of relief. Very lucky.

The reason for replacing Kolkz is just because he is taking the cards?

is not only a yellow card, but also his subsequent actions. Although there is no foul at all, the referee blew the whistle, which is very common in football games.

But the fans' reaction, I also saw some players trying to run to the referee and say, "If you think this is a foul, maybe you should show a yellow card."

This is certainly ridiculous, but it is also a risk. The only situation we could lose this game was that our number was reduced to 10, because we could have tied on 11-on-11, but we would never lose because they never... went into our 18-yard box.

So, the only situation where we may lose is that we have reduced to 10 players, and I don't want to take this risk, which is difficult for Milos because normally, if the player has already received a yellow card before, you don't have to replace him, but I think this is the best choice.

Have he considered replacing Salah, or is his purpose of accumulating offensive players?

If you need a goal and the game is not going well - although I feel like we are getting better and better in the second half, we are getting closer and closer to goals - I have almost considered every substitution.

But in the end you always think, "I don't want to leave this court with a draw, but just because there aren't all the offensive players, all the players who can score."

In other games, you might wonder whether it's worth risking to send seven offensive players, but facing a team with 11 players in the 18-yard penalty area, I don't think the risk is too high, and that's why we decided to do it.

As for the replacement of Salah – if you need a goal, this may happen this season or next season, but may not happen often.

Isaac (he was not included in the match day roster) Whether he participated in training this morning

No, he did the recovery training, but yesterday's training was very difficult. I can explain it to you-it may take a few minutes, but it is not difficult to understand.

So, if the players have been training for 3-5 weeks at the beginning of the season, you will lay a certain foundation for them. You will let them do a lot of training until the players can meet the 45-minute game requirement.

When we introduced him from Newcastle, it was equivalent to starting summer training from scratch, so he needed proper training to lay a certain foundation, not to mention letting him play two games in three days.

That's what we do, we try to get the players to (play) one game a week at the beginning of the season, and then we try to increase the load more and more, playing at least two games a week so they can adapt to the schedule.

Now, Alex is far from ready for three games a week, a 90-minute schedule. But we can get him on the court for 5 minutes today, another 10 minutes on Wednesday, and then 15 minutes, but we don't think it's the way to train him. We think that's what the Swedish team did right, they gave him a good training opportunity, but didn't let him play too much, because if you let the players play too much, you can't give him a good training opportunity.

They're doing it right, and we did the same thing, so now he can play for at least 45 minutes on Wednesday or Saturday, or more. But if he plays for 45 minutes on Wednesday, don't expect him to play for 45 minutes or more on Saturday, because we don't think his body is ready yet.
