Liverpool boss Arne Slot has disclosed that the Reds must prevent
Brentford from their high pressing style of play in tomorrow’s Premier
League clash.
The Reds have been the outstanding team in England
and Europe this season, losing just two of their 31 games in all
competitions.
Four points clear of second-placed Arsenal in the
Premier League with a game in hand, they face a testing match against
mid-table Brentford on Saturday. Speaking with the club’s website, Slot said that the Reds will be hoping to pick the maximum points against Brentford.
“Some
teams you play, they have 1 or 2 big strengths, Brentford press high,
man v man, low block if needed, can score goals in all different ways,
they score in the first seconds, so there is a lot to prepare for.
“Now
I have to take time for this game to show them all what Brentford’s
strengths are, they can play 5 or 4 at the back, it’s a team that has
worked for years with the same manager already, he has 2 formations and
that is a situation when you work longer with them.”
