Arne Slot considers PSG the most perfect rival of Liverpool this season. The teams will hold a response match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League tomorrow, March 11. The first game ended with the victory of the British with a score of 1-0.
About whether he was surprised by the level demonstrated by the PSG in the first match
I was not at all surprised by their game. They made a great impression on me. Before the game, I watched a lot of their matches, because we had more time than usual, and I was really impressed by the intensity of their game, team cohesion, rotations in the center of the field. This is a very close -knit team, she is being very well trained, and I think that we have experienced it on our last Wednesday.
Some said that we played badly, I do not agree - I think this opponent played incredibly well. I do not think that this season we met with a team that would combine such quality and such intensity.
But I think we can play better. I’m not saying that we played badly or simply not very good, but we can still play better than last week, and tomorrow we must prove it in front of our fans.
About whether Liverpool needs to hold the best match in the season
Yes, I really think so because this is the most perfect team of all we met. What do I mean by the word perfect? We met with Arsenal and Manchester City, and the point is not that PSG is very superior to them, but in the intensity with which the [Parisians] played, combined with the quality they possess. . .
They have a very high level of training and excellent, very, very good coach. It allows the team to play so that it is not easy to resist it. He squeezes the maximum of each player, with him the team demonstrates incredible performance. That`s why I think that tomorrow we should be in the best shape.
But, for example, visiting City we did not own the ball, and at home we played with them in a completely different way.
About whether this match is the most important for Liverpool in the current season
Yes, because this is the next game. Because this is the next step, and the next step is always the most important, ”said the head coach of Liverpool.
