Liverpool and Manchester United faced each other at Anfield yesterday, despite the snow that fell in England. The two teams ended with a draw, with a score of 2-2. The coaches then spoke at a press conference.
Arne Slot’s words:
« Of course, we feel like we lost two points. I think what sticks in a lot of people’s minds for a long time is what happens at the end and it was a big chance for Maguire, of course. But we tend to forget that two minutes before Virgil had perhaps as big an opportunity as the one he had to make it 3-2 for us. In the end, it was a tough match. A bit like the Nottingham Forest game, where the style of play of both teams was quite similar. They defended in a low block with a lot of bodies and if they had the ball, they didn’t take the risk of building it, but played it long. Every free kick they got somewhere in their own half or our half, they put it into play, so it was a bit similar to Forest. It’s not always easy to play against this style of football and that’s what happened against Forest and that’s what happened today. Especially if they have quality players who defend so well, it’s not easy to get them through the low block they had. »
Ruben Amorim’s paroles:
« I want my team to play a lot better, but I think the most important thing to address today is mentality. This is the key to everything. Today we were a different team, not because of the system, not because of the technical side of the game, the tactical side of the game, we faced the competition the way we are supposed to. to face every day, in training and in matches. No matter the location, no matter the opponent, we must face every day the same way. »
