Slott: Arnold is my gift to Alonso; not completely satisfied with his training

May 23: Liverpool will face Crystal Palace at home in the final round of the Premier League. Before the game, coach Slot talked about Arnold who is about to leave the team.

He said: "I can't talk to the players every day, but occasionally, but if the situation requires me to talk to them, it will be more frequent. For Arnold, I'll give an example, I've definitely talked to him a little more than Van Dijk. Of course I've talked to Arnold, and I actually have a lot of conversations with him. This connection, coupled with what we won together, creates a different relationship than he and the fans.

"After training before the start of the season, Arnold also often came to my office, but for other reasons. Now Arnold will occasionally come to my office. Salah also said that during pre-season training, he would come to me for some things, and Arnold was the same.

"Arnold is leaving the team anyway, so I don't mind telling you, this is the first gift I have prepared for Alonso.

"I can't be satisfied with every minute of Arnold's training field, because in my opinion he can do more, which is a more euphemistic term. And I also told Arnold that many people praise you as a top defender, but you are even better than they said. Unfortunately, you did not continue to perform this, which is why people say you still have room for improvement. As long as you stay focused, there are not many opponents who can get the advantage in front of you.

"Arnold is fast, flexible, and has a good mentality. The key is to show these characteristics in every game. In the world of football, people not only judge you based on the more than thirty games you played well, but more on the few games you played poorly."
