Arne Slot: I Have the Full Support of Liverpool

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has reiterated that he feels fully supported by the club and its fans, despite the team's recent struggles. The Reds have lost three consecutive games, including a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final and a 4-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup. However, Slot emphasized that he has the backing of the club's hierarchy and supporters, citing the fans' continued enthusiasm as evidence of their trust in him. 'I feel a lot of support, not only from the owners but also from the fans,' Slot said. 'When we were in Paris after a 4-0 loss, the fans were still singing and clapping for us. That support has been constant.' Liverpool is currently fifth in the Premier League, just one point ahead of Chelsea, and faces a crucial match against Fulham. Slot acknowledged the pressure to secure a top-five spot but expressed confidence in his team's ability to bounce back. 'We want to have the chance to play in the Champions League next season, so we have to perform in the league as well,' he said. The team has been dealing with injuries, including the absence of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, but welcomed back club-record signing Alexander Isak, who made a 13-minute cameo appearance against Paris Saint-Germain after recovering from an ankle injury. Slot expressed his delight at Isak's return, saying, 'To have him back is really nice. It was only 15 minutes, but it's good to have him back, and hopefully, we can grow his minutes.'
