Arne Slot was pleased with Liverpool’s performance in 3-1 victory over Yokohama f marinos Today, but he still wants his players to work more in transition.
Premier League champions fell back to their Japanese hosts, but won a victory in the East East of a Liverpool’s first goal to sign the Florian Wirtz summer and the efforts of Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha’s substitute teenagers.
The slot enjoyed the Liverpool test
Yokohama raised many problems for Liverpool, but Slot had no possibility to face the opposition that his players tried.
He said: “A good game against a rival that is already in the middle of the season (and) accustomed to the circumstances here. They turned it into an intense game for us, which is always nice to have the preseason because this is also looking for. We want to have teams that can really compete with us and today it has been definitely.
“I have seen some very positive things. For example, we return after going 1-0, this is something we did last season many times; seeing players on the bench affecting the game.”
The Dutchman was not fully satisfied with his team’s screen.
He added: “More than sometimes there were very good times in the accumulation, but what I also saw in the goal we awarded and in the first half, the great chance we granted was that we had to work harder at the moment to sprint that we did not do. Bilbao we will play as our next opponent.”
Teenagers impress in Japan
Although Wirtz starred in and Hugo Ekitike debuted, it was the young people who stole the 18 -year -old Nyoni program with Nyoni, and Ngumoha, 16, arrived in the afternoon.
Slot said, “Getting some very good players through the Academy is always useful and gives energy to a team too. It is always nice to see young players of 16, 17 or 18 years old who already affect a game.
“There was also a time when he (Ngumoha) should have square him in Macca (Alexis Mac Allister) or Curtis (Jones). So, (there were) also learning parts for him. If you are 16 years old and you can affect the game as he did, this is worth fulfilling.”
We need to be ready for the strongest Premier League: slot
Slot brought Liverpool to the crown of the Premier League in his first season in charge, but he insists that this moment has happened now and his full approach focuses on the new campaign.
“I thought it was hard last season, but if we look at all the teams of the Premier League, the Premier League will become even stronger than last season,” he said.
“We have to be prepared for this, this is where my goal is at the moment and in recent weeks.
“We are taking steps forward, but I also did not forget that last season I went to Wembley, having to look at Newcastle by raising a trophy and in two weeks we go again. So I hope we show a different face in that final of the community, that the final of the League Cup.”
