"Liverpool thrashed Qarabag 6-0 at Anfield on Wednesday, helped by Alexis Mac Allister's double, along with goals from Florian Wirtz, Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa. But after Liverpool's largest margin of victory under Slot sent them into the Champions League's last 16, the Dutchman used his post-match press conference to clarify what he felt was unfair treatment from sections of the media."
""Not a little bit, a lot," Slot then responded when asked if his assessment had been taken out of context. "I don't follow all of it, but sometimes you hear certain things. If you give long answers, then they miss a certain word and people start having an opinion about it. "I have always tried to be myself and give long answers in a different language. I am not going to change, not going to only say yes or no, this is who I am.""
Liverpool beat Qarabag 6-0 at Anfield, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring twice and additional goals from Florian Wirtz, Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa, securing progression to the Champions League last 16. Arne Slot used the post-match press conference to defend his previous comments and to challenge critics who he said misrepresented his words. Slot clarified he had used the word "might" when suggesting the PSG defeat possibly helped by reducing injuries, and argued that the club has since been hit harder by injuries. Slot said he will remain himself and continue giving lengthy answers in a different language, and noted questions arose because Liverpool were 15 points clear when they lost to PSG.
