Liverpool, Dec 20 (NationPress) Following a dramatic 4-3 win against Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur has secured a place in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup. They are set to meet Liverpool in the next round, coinciding with their Premier League clash on Sunday.
Ahead of this encounter, Liverpool’s head coach Arne Slot expressed his admiration for Tottenham’s manager Ange Postecoglou, stating his desire for the Australian to clinch a title with Spurs, whose last significant trophy was the League Cup in the 2007/08 season.
"I genuinely wish he wins a trophy. While I would prefer it not to be the League Cup, I am thoroughly a supporter of his approach in the Europa League. Many focus on the significance of trophies, which is undeniably vital. However, for me, the style of football he promotes is even more crucial. If he can merge it with a trophy win, it would be fantastic for the sport overall, as it would put an end to discussions about 'Is it too attacking?' How can one play too much attacking football?" Slot remarked during a press conference.
Currently, Liverpool is leading the Premier League table, holding a two-point lead with a game in hand over Chelsea. Nonetheless, Slot hopes his team can regain their form, as their last league victory was on November 24, followed by two draws and a postponed Merseyside Derby.
"As I have mentioned repeatedly over the past few months, evaluate the standings after 19 matches because that’s when every team has faced the same opponents. We’ve perhaps been fortunate; for instance, Arsenal had numerous red cards early in the season, which contributed to their dropped points.
"Now we have also received a red card and lost points. Our upcoming match is against Tottenham, similar to the situation Arsenal found themselves in earlier in the season, while Chelsea has already faced them. It’s essential not to fixate on where you stand in the season but rather where you finish at the end," he added.
