Liverpool vs Everton: Arne Slot insists that Reds are “fresh” after “much needed” resetting during an international break | Football news

Chief coach Liverpool Arne Slot believes that the international break could have an important reset.

Last month, Premier League leaders suffered from each other for the first time this season when they left the Champions League on PSG before they lost the finals of the Carabao Cup to Newcastle.

The slot says about all breaks, it was the one who “needed the most” and believes that his players have returned and have prepared for the last nine games when they tried to close the second title in five years.

“The first three (breaks) were one or two months of work, this was a continuous work after four months, so I like it most of the time that it was four months in a row,” Merseyside Derby said before visiting Everton for 246.

“It was my first experience with playing in the winter, so I liked this most, I needed the most.

“The mental break (for players) comes more from leaving another environment with different teammates.

“For this reason, it was perhaps a good moment after you lose two games. If you stay in your club, you have to win your next game, but if you go to your national team, things are new again.

“Lucho (Luis) Diaz had two goals (for Colombia), Cody Gakpo had a goal (for the Netherlands), so several of our players have again proved to be a very good way.”

Subsequent losses of Reds before the international break led to the fact that the team of the slot proposals ran out, but the Dutch refused that the fatigue of the assumption began to play a role in their campaign.

“When I look at the PSG game, I don’t think I was at work in eight or nine months, I saw my players work as hard as they were for 120 minutes,” he said.

“Maybe it was also why we looked tired in the finals, but I might not give the right credit of Newcastle that made it difficult for us.

“They (Liverpool players) may be a little more fresh than in a normal international break because we didn’t play at the weekend.

“Most of them also had a few days off, for the first time in the months they had three, four, five days off, so that’s perhaps the reason I use the word” refreshing “.”

Moyes desperately end the winning anfield stripe

Everton manager David MoyesMeanwhile, he admitted his bad record in Anfield hanging hard and wants to get rid of it. The cattle never won in Liverpool in 21 attempts, drew only seven, with toffees, Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham.

In his second charm in Everton, he wouldn’t love anything more than ending this sequence because he had enjoyed nine Premier League’s undefeated Running of Premier League since taking over in January.

Asked if there was an undesirable record around his neck, Moyes said, “Yeah. I don’t want to win, and I want to make sure I get rid of it if I can.

“I’m sick of it? I would lie if I said I was looking forward to it all the time, because it was such a difficult place to achieve the results.

“It has nothing to do with the surrounding, nothing to do with the playground, nothing else with anything else, it has to do, always produces good teams.

“We could be further from Liverpool than we were ever at the moment. At the time I left here, we were much closer to Liverpool, we were competitive and competed around the same league areas at that time.

“It would be huge for us as a club, because it is not something that the club has done especially often.”

In February, Everton grabbed a 2-2 draw in the dramatic James Tarkowski in the next time.
