Schlot is happy that the Reds will definitely finish in the top 8 of the Champions League. He praised Salah as a special player.

Liverpool manager Arne Schlot said after his team won 2-1 at home against Lille in the first round of the Champions League on January 21, guaranteeing their place in the last 16. “Everyone is happy to finish in the top eight, but the position in the table doesn’t tell us anything because maybe the team in 24th place is better than 16th place. We want to finish first in the table and see what benefits we can get from this. But the most important thing is not having to compete in the play-off round like the teams in 9th to 24th place. 

Schlot is happy

Schlott added: “The special thing about being Liverpool manager is having more than 11 good players and the Champions League is a very tough competition, as is the Premier League, so it’s about how ready the players are when they get the chance. Harvey Elliott’s goal today was a lucky one, but the performances he has on the pitch have been very good. If we are in a situation where we need a goal, I am never afraid to make a substitution. Today we were very disciplined and thought we wouldn’t concede a goal, so we sent the forwards in and it worked out well.

The Reds boss spoke about Mohamed Salah, the striker who scored in this game and became the first player at the เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย club to score 50 goals in European games, saying: “Salah is special. He has been outstanding for many years. Today he scored a great goal. When you have a one-on-one duel with the goalkeeper, there is a great chance that it will be a goal. The goal that Salah scored shows why we are number 1 in the league. Every player works hard to get the ball back into play, as seen from Curtis Jones who went to win the ball back and pass it to Salah to shoot.
