Man United vs Liverpool: What has been said?
Speaking after Liverpool's win over Arsenal, Slot said: “I think even though it's a friendly, you always want to aim for the win.
“You have to aim for victory even if you play a match with a reduced team during a training session. You have to win your matches, you try to do everything possible to win.
“It's good that we did it today, but I'm more satisfied with the way we did it.
“Of course, I saw that in the second half we had a hard time facing Arsenal, they dominated possession completely. But we defended very well and I was very happy to see that because there were a lot of players after the ball every time they came into our area.”
“I think that in the second half they did not create very clear and clear chances. In the first half, after the first ten minutes, the game was equal, in which both teams could have scored a few more goals.
“I'm happy to see how we played the first half and how we defended the second half.”
