Arne slot says Liverpool’s game is the Champions League game on PSV Eindhoven for them “there is no importance”.
The slot, which are at the top of the ladder and until the last 16 after seven wins of seven so far, called a youthful game for the Netherlands on Wednesday.
Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk did not travel with teams, with Alisson Becker, Ibrahim Konate, Ryan Graveberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominic Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz.
Instead, like Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley, Jarela Quansah, Tyler Morton, Watar Endo and Harvey Elliotta will be a collapsed opportunity to impress.
“All those who have lagged behind them have been able to play tomorrow,” Slot said, “but in the long run, if you look back at our season, almost every time after three or four or five weeks we have given them a break during the week when there was a league Cup or FA cup [game]If there was a moment to return some freshness, we always did it.
“It took me time to understand this new [Champions League] format.
“I always say when I think I’m 100 percent sure, I’m using ’99 .9 ‘but now I can say I’m 100 percent sure it doesn’t matter if we finish one or two [in the table] Because we will play 14, 15, 16, 17, and in the end it is a draw [for] Which of the teams we meet.
“So this is a game for us – because now we are no. 1 or no.
“But a very wise man once told me,” I never saw that nothing good was coming from losing a football game, “so tomorrow we don’t go into the game trying to lose the game, we’ll do everything we can to try to win that, of course. “
Arne slot insisted that we do everything to win the PSV because he explained the explanation for the appointment of a rotated team for tomorrow #Ucl tie ⤵️

Liverpool fights for four fronts this season, and Sloot says he made the decision to rest with their key stars to manage their work load during the hectic schedule.
He added, “I look at the long groups management process. It will be weird if the group has the same level as other games.
“When they play in the League Cup, they could beat Southampton and Brighton. It was not so easy, but we won. Cody Gakpo, I decided to bring him in for example. I think about some feelings, but he didn’t play against Lille last week.”
