Arne Slot has responded to Mohamed Salah's comments about standards at Liverpool:
“The standards are not only important in the gym. It’s also on the pitch. Okay. You understand me? Without me saying anything?”
“I wish I was able to say what I feel at this moment but I can’t, So, how will I answer that question then?”
“As I said, I completely agree with him [Salah] how important these standards are. I think they (standards) are in a good place at the moment.”
“I think it also makes sense that younger players – it doesn’t have to be the new players, it can be the seven-year-old that comes from the Academy – they usually gets the example of players like Mo and others for them to understand and to know what it takes to play every three days at this level.”
“I see – and I think – that our younger players have improved in this already. I am completely convinced that we have enough players next season – and, add to that, the ones that we will sign – to put the standards exactly into the place they are needed.”
