Arne Slot told Sky Sports that the national team training session in September was not the cause of Liverpool’s loss.
Liverpool suffered a shock 0-1 setback against Nottingham Forest at Anfield after a fantastic start to the season with three consecutive wins. Fans of “The Kop” may be disappointed with this outcome.
Arne Slot refuses to blame fitness difficulties for Liverpool’s setback.
Despite the setback being so soon after the September international break, coach Arne Slot declined to blame fitness difficulties, telling Sky Sports: “It’s always difficult to say this, but I don’t think that had anything to do with it.”
“The players came back strong and today I also saw a team that wanted to fight until the end. So, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with energy, it’s simply that we had a lot of possession and had to be creative in possession.”
Although the Dutch strategist indicated that player fitness is not a concern, Liverpool must address this issue quickly if they are to fight for the championship or a spot in the top four
