Slott: Next season will be more difficult, and I will try to sign some excellent players in the summer window

May 26th According to Liverpool's official website, Slott was interviewed by reporters after Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

About the last match

This is another special day. The pressure is much less than four weeks ago, when we have to win the game to start celebrating. Now we know the celebration is for sure, the energy on the court, the cheers of the fans, the development of the last half hour of the game, and the strong reactions from the players and fans after we were sent off. In my opinion, we deserve this 1-1 result. These players and fans don’t like losing, and they show this again today.

About Arnold's popularity

I think the word "excellent" is perfect for our fans. They were excellent before, during and after the match against Tottenham. The celebrations four weeks ago were very special, and so were today. The fans have been doing great all season, especially for Arnold. His second half was incredible and it could take three to five minutes if you were to make a great highlight. His pass against Nunez reached another level and he deserved it all.

I am happy for him and for everyone inside and outside the club, because things eventually come true. You can see how sad he was after the game, which shows how hard it is to leave such a club. We will try our best to make it difficult for the players to leave, and many choose to stay, but Trent decided to leave and, while it was a pity for us, his farewell today was perfect.

Regarding next season, I hope this desire will be maintained, but we need to wait until the preseason starts. Some players have proven they can win multiple times, and I'm talking about the players who have won the league and the Champions League here, who have maintained high performance year after year, even if they haven't won the championship. Now there are some players who have won the league for the first time and they need to show the same mentality as those who have won the championship before. I'm looking forward to being a part of it, and we know next season will be just as tough.

This season is already very difficult and next season may be even harder, as the clubs we compete for will invest a lot of money in every transfer window, and this summer may be the same. We adopted different strategies last season. Since Sir Ferguson won the league for the last time, no team has given youth training players as much time as we do. Apart from signing Chiesa last summer, we didn’t do much signing, which made the season’s victory even more special. Now we will see if the team needs reinforcement, we can do better on our own, but we will definitely make signings if necessary.

About the team's signings

We just want to get good players, ideally we will sign them as soon as possible. But signing good players is not always easy, let alone signing them early in the transfer window. But this team doesn’t just start working today, and there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work going on this season to determine our goals and try to sign them. I'm confident that if we find the right player, we will try our best to sign him. But let's see if this will happen and when, because I'm very happy with our existing lineup.

About the most memorable day

fans' enthusiasm for the club and the meaning of winning the championship, especially here. I feel like today I can feel the feeling they experienced 35 years ago. Although we won the league five years ago, unfortunately the fans were unable to attend the event at that time. Now that they are here, I think everyone can see what this means for the fans, and that makes it special too. Ultimately, that's true for us.

Because I play football for myself and for my family, but definitely for the fans. We are honored to play in front of these special fans, who will show this again tomorrow. Because there are other people involved when other teams or clubs showcase trophys in the city, you can see some great videos, but I think it will be to the next level again. There won't be any radical changes in the plan for next season, because it will be a little weird to do it after you win the league title. But I just said that if the entire team can stay together, we can improve, even in this team. We need improvements, but if new players can be introduced, they may need to adapt to their characteristics. But it will never be a drastic change because it is the style of the game I like and the style of the game that clubs and fans want to see. So we try to find players who can adapt to this style of play. But you always have to make adjustments based on new situations that may arise and work hard to improve on this season.

About the meeting with Klopp at the AXA Training Center on Saturday, which was well progressed. I don't think we've met before, but we've passed the words a few times. Yesterday was limited because in these last few days, everyone wanted to talk to you, and there were still many things to do, and media interviews were one of them! But I still took some time to talk to him, and we might meet again in the next few days, and even if I can leave this room now, I still have time to talk to him again.
