Arne Slot analyzed the 3-1 defeat against Chelsea in the 35th week of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in an interview with Sky Sports.

Slot defended his team’s performance, expressed satisfaction with contract extensions for key players, and hinted at summer transfer plans. He also viewed the loss as a learning opportunity and emphasized the fighting spirit of the team and fans.

Defeat Against Chelsea?
A wise man once said that nothing good comes from winning a football match, and I agree! The way we lost has more positives. We played as a quality team against a big opponent like Chelsea. Maybe we lacked a bit of our usual quality. A few percent of our ability to get a result was missing.

Where Does Liverpool Need to Improve?
If you look at our reaction after falling behind 2-0, you see that we came back and never gave up. Our fans also didn’t stop supporting. When you play against a strong team like Chelsea, you can’t make many mistakes, and that’s what we saw today. It’s always good to see bench players alongside the main players. Now that they’ve played with others, it gave us new insights.

Giving Bench Players a Chance?
They deserve to play in these matches because they’ve trained hard throughout the season. Every time they had the opportunity, they performed well, and that’s why I think they deserved to be in this game. We don’t judge them just based on this game but evaluate them every day in training and in the moments they play for us.

Summer Transfers?
The upcoming summer is already bright because we’ve extended Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah’s contracts, and for most of the season, I don’t think anyone expected this. Keeping them is very important for us. I’ve said before that I’m happy with the team we have. We’ll see what the summer brings, but sometimes fresh energy can be helpful. The summer has been good so far, and we won the league. We’ll only act if we see a player in the market who can help us.
