Liverpool coach Arne Slot was very complimentary towards LOSC this Monday at a press conference. He particularly believes that Bruno Genesio and his men deserve to be where they are at this stage of the competition.
After Marseille and Rennes, LOSC will meet at Anfield this Tuesday, at 9 p.m., as part of the seventh and penultimate day of the regular season of the Champions League. Eighth in the standings, Lille now has certain ambitions, even if it is the still undefeated leader, Liverpool, that it faces. The challenge promises to be immense for the Lille team. However, accustomed to bringing down the biggest teams since entering the fray, the Lille team appears to be a tricky opponent across the Channel.
Successor to Jürgen Klopp at the head of the Reds, Arne Slot was particularly complimentary towards LOSC: “I'm impressed, not surprisedhe repeats twice in his first answers. A few weeks ago, when I saw that they beat Real Madrid, I was surprised, and Atlético Madrid, I was surprised. Now that I have seen many of their matches, I am no longer surprised but impressed because they deserved all the points they got so far. And it's not because they faced small teams. They faced Sporting who were unbeatable with Ruben Amorim, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and now they face us. The next match will also be difficult for them with Feyenoord. They had bad luck with the draw, which is why I'm so impressed.
A 21-match unbeaten run probably says even more »he says.
With this data in mind, what match do Liverpool expect this Tuesday? “A lot of coaches change their game plan when they oppose us, so it's sometimes difficult to plan ahead. But if I look at what I've seen from their different matches, I expect an open match. Whether it's Marseille or Real Madrid, they press all the teams. They are not afraid to build from the back and they do it very well. They also showed that they were sometimes capable of suffering with a low block. They are very good at what they do. That's what I expect but you have to ask the Lille coach if he's going to change his plan or not.”concludes Arne Slot with a laugh. The appointment is made. The battle promises to be fierce.
