Sobo: The world wave is a mystery. Elliott: It s hard to endure the life on the iron bench

Sports Weekly All Media Report

After winning the Premier League, Liverpool undoubtedly has a certain degree of slackness. Otherwise, even if the opponents are strong in the last three rounds, they should not only get 1 draw and 2 losses. However, the so-called "no desire" is actually conducive to playing exciting games. Liverpool has no competitive pursuit, while Brighton has a pursuit of qualifying for the European Cup, which is not very hopeful, and is also lightweight. So both sides played a wonderful game, touching the ball in the opponent's penalty area 105 times (Brighton 60 times, Liverpool 45 times). Since this statistics were obtained in the 2008-09 season, there was only one game that was higher. It was Manchester City's 5-1 Luton match in April last year, but it was a one-sided game. 104 of the opponent's 113 touches in the penalty area were contributed by Manchester City.

Slott said after the game: "Today, two very outstanding teams are trying their best to play a good goal. There is no waste of time, no fake falls. When the score is 2-1, we are more likely to score the third goal, rather than equalizing the opponent. After 2-2, the momentum of the game changed, the opponent started to play and scored the third goal. Both sides were actually very close. The game was very exciting, but the result was not what we wanted. Some moments would change the game. Before Salah missed that opportunity, he created a class for Chiesa. A similar opportunity, but it was blocked. The opponent ranked 8th in the Premier League, but he could send players like Sansaki from the bench, which proves how strong this league is. "

After winning the championship, Slot began to give the marginal opportunity a chance to start. When he was away from Chelsea, Kuanza, Zimikas, Endo Hang, Elliott and others all entered the starting lineup, with the smallest rotation range against Arsenal. In this game, while sending Bradley, Kuanza, Zimikas, and Elliott, he also gave Chiesa the first chance to start in the Premier League in his career.

For these marginal players, Slot said: "I have known these players for 10 months, not the first time I judged them. I'm glad to see Elliot score a goal, he also completed an assist, which was not a very difficult assist, Sobosloy scored a wonderful goal. Chiesa also performed well, especially considering that he has not played for a long time. Today and against Chelsea are their moments. They deserve to play. Many of them have to go to the national team, and it's important to accumulate some game time, so we did some rotations. But this is not the reason we lost points against Chelsea and Brighton, but the points are because the opponent is very strong."

Talking about the league finale against FA Cup champion Crystal Palace this Sunday, Slot said: "The finale will be completely different from today. . Brighton plays high-pressing, and if Crystal Palace plays like the FA Cup final, we will have more ball possession than tonight, but it will not be easy to break through the opponent's defense."

Sobosloy, who scored the fairy ball, admitted after the game: "To be honest, it was a cross, I'm not going to lie. But I'm happy to help the team." Regarding the game, Sobo said: "I can't say that losing makes us very sad, but we didn't come for the loss, we want to win. We showed in the first 70 minutes that we wanted to bring 3 points home. But Brighton deserves to win, and it seems that they are more eager for victory. We will go all out this Sunday, because that's the last home court, and fans deserve to pay off."

Elliott won the first Premier League goal this season. He won two starts after winning the championship, and never started before. After the game, the 22-year-old midfielder hinted that the possibility of leaving the team this summer is not ruled out, "Some players, such as me, don't play much this season. This kind of game is about playing games and enjoying the game. There are so few opportunities to play, and it's really hard to endure. I tried my best, but that's it. What's important is how to do the best for my career. I need to think about it and see what I can do. I'm still here now, focusing on the last game."

The media reports that Liverpool has finalized the signing of Leverkusen right-wingback Flynnpon. When asked about this, Slott responded: "What do you think? When we announce the news, we will naturally talk about it. Now we have not announced anything, so there is no need to talk about anything."
