“A good thing” – every word from Arne Slot’s press conference after Liverpool 2-0 Bologna

About his first experience of a Champions League game at Anfield…

(It was) a good game because it was a win. It wasn’t easy, but that’s normal when you play in the Champions League. There is always a lot of resistance and a lot of good teams play in the Champions League – and Bologna is one of them. You can also see the (other) results tonight where we may have seen some surprising results. It was nice to win, a clean sheet, some good individual performances, so overall positive.

There is still room for improvement…

The thing is, you’ll probably never achieve perfection. You always strive for perfection, but you will never achieve it. We can improve, we have to improve, that’s clear, but there are also a lot of positives that we can take from tonight and from the other games. There was a period of time in the game where we had no control and they threatened us more than I would have liked, but that’s normal too. I saw a lot of games yesterday, I saw a few games before that, in the Champions League (and) it’s never just one team playing – it’s always two teams playing. I think we were in control for most of the game, we had more possession, but they threatened us a few times, especially in the latter stages of the first half.

On Salah’s club record-breaking goal…

What can I say about Mo? What you saw today is what you get. If you put him in those positions often enough, he can score a goal. He also had great support. I think if you look at the second (goal), the way he scored it, I can understand why everyone is talking about the finish because it was a fantastic finish. Shortly before he had almost the same thing, but it wouldn’t do justice to Virgil (van Dijk), Diogo (Jota), Dom (Szoboszlai) and Trent (Alexander-Arnold) if we only talk about the great finish because Virgil played a fantastic one Ball through, Diogo dropped, turned, Dom was involved again – he was also involved in the first goal – and Trent made a crucial overlapping run because that opened up space on the inside for Mo to do what Mo did Always does that.
