Liverpool vs Real Betis: What has been said?

Liverpool manager Slot has been speaking to the club's website about the upcoming tour.

He said: “I accept it, but the resistance of the teams we play against is strong.

“We are trying to put ideas into practice and continue doing what we have done so well. Keeping the boys fit, that is the first objective.

“Those things are the first objective and then, with all the players back, I think the quality will definitely increase a lot as well.

“It’s only been two weeks, so if it had been that easy to bring and implement all your ideas in two weeks, that would have been an ideal situation, but it doesn’t work that way.

“As I said, those who came from the beginning are still fit, they have had two weeks of training sessions and they stayed fit during the game, so they are getting fitter and fitter.

“But yes, there are definitely more than a few areas where we need to improve, but that will come with more sessions and it will definitely come when all the guys are in.”
