You will have to wait before hitting the big Slot.
Arne Slot dampens optimism around Liverpool's title. Despite a seven-point lead at the top after a 3-1 victory against Leicester (goals from Gakpo, Jones and Salah), Liverpool manager remains cautious before talking about title. « SIf you have been in this sport for a long time, like these players or myself, you know that, 20 games before the end, you don't see it that way », assures the Dutchman at a press conference.
The ghost of City
The air hole experienced by Manchester City is a reminder of how a season can be derailed, with only one victory in 12 games. For Slot, the example is obvious: “ Only two months ago we were a point behind them, and look what happened: injuries, a bit of bad luck, a suspension. This can happen to any team ». Slot also rejects the idea that Liverpool are flying through the season : « It's way too early to celebrate, but it's nice for us to be the team we are. That said, I don't think any of our victories have been easy. » Even against Tottenham (6-3), the end of the match reminds us that nothing is certain.
Mohamed Salah, also keeps his feet on the ground in the mixed zone in this title race: “ It has a different flavor, but the most important thing is to stay humble. We have had injuries in the past and lost the title. I hope we continue like this, without injuries, and that we go and get him. It's a dream for me “. Dream or not, Slot prefers to advance game by game: “ The standings are important, but we know how many games are left to play. »
