On Sunday afternoon (1/12, 18:00), h Liverpool welcomes her Manchester City at Anfield, with the chance to make a strong title push very early in the season, as he goes into this match on +8 against the Citizens.
Not only that, but the reigning champions of recent years count 5 losses and 1 draw in their last 6 matches in all competitions, which is an unprecedented run for a team of Pep Guardiola. Nevertheless, Mr Arne Slott does not rest.
The Dutch coach emphasized that despite the negative results, the City remains a formidable team, with best coach of the world, as she described it, on her bench.
What he said in detail:
On City’s bad spell: “Everyone looks at their results but if you face them, you analyze them. They were 1-0 up against Brighton and could have scored a goal or two more. They could have been 2-0 or even 3-0 up against Tottenham and what happened to Feyenoord doesn’t happen very often.
They remain a very good team and one of the reasons I think Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world – I think he is the best – is that he always finds solutions to his problems. We all know he will find a solution and we hope he will do it after Sunday’s match.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he had another great idea. I think he was the one who started playing with inverted full-backs, then he was the one who started using a central defender as a 6, so I don’t think it will be a surprise if he resorts to a solution that no one has thought of before, to do his team stronger. It’s one of the reasons he’s inspired so many coaches around the world.”
.
For Kelleher: “I expect every player to want to be No. 1, not only in the goalkeeper position but in every position. It’s up to the player if he can accept his role and from the start of the season until now Quivin has accepted it, whether he was playing or not. It’s too early to say what might happen in the new season. I want every player to want to play in every match.”
“The word easy never comes to my mind if I think about Man City!” ??
