Liverpool to Take Risks Against PSG
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is confident that his team can achieve something special when they host Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Despite suffering a 2-0 defeat in the first leg, Slot believes the task ahead is not insurmountable. Slot reminded his players of the first-leg score and expressed his awareness of the team's ability to deliver great performances in big games. He pointed out that in 49 home games, Liverpool have scored two goals or more 46 times. However, he acknowledged that the team's opponents, including Paris Saint-Germain, are very strong. Slot admitted that to achieve their goal, the team needs to be 'very, very special' as they are up against the European champions. He emphasized the need for his team to take risks and have the ball more, as PSG had 76% possession in the first leg. When asked about his team's setup for the match, Slot stated that his approach will not be significantly different from the first leg. He expressed his dislike for a low-block approach and instead prefers to press high, despite the difficulties this may pose. Meanwhile, midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai downplayed a recent incident with Liverpool fans, describing it as a 'misunderstanding.' He apologized if his actions were misinterpreted and emphasized his connection with the fans. Szoboszlai expressed his determination to stage a comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, saying that the team will 'go all in' and give their best. He acknowledged that the second leg will be different from the first and that the team needs to give everything possible to succeed.
