Liverpool: Arne slot says that the power of Newcastle in the duel was the main factor in the final defeat of Carabao Cup | Football news
Liverpool manager Arne says the power of Newcastle in Duel was a significant factor of their defeat Carabao Cup on Sunday.
The Magpies won 68 percent of air battles in the Wembley game, where in 70 years they secured their first piece of the main domestic silver accessories thanks to the goals of Burn and Alexander Isak Day in a 2-1 victory.
This means that the Reds have now come out in two competitions in less than a week, after their loss of the Champions League has been a Paris Saint-German for the last 16 years.
“A disappointing result, a disappointing effect. A completely different than I felt after the Paris Saint-Germain game,” said the Dutchman, speaking at his press conference after the match.
“Did we be mentally or physically tired on Tuesday? But this game had nothing to do with running. This game only had to do with playing the duel and there was no intensity in this game in this game, so you can’t even judge if we were tired, physically, because we couldn’t press them.
“You can judge a team if they are tired if they press, but it’s not pressing anything because they played over our press. The game was slow, not intense, so it’s hard to judge for me if we were physically ready.
“Mentally, it’s always difficult. If you look at the result and a performance that you might feel that may have done something to us, but I prefer to look at how the game went and this game went exactly the way they wanted – the fight with a lot of duels and a lot of duels through the air
“If we played a football game through the air against them 10 times, they are probably winning nine times because they are stronger the team through the air than us, which led to the first goal and the second goal. They are stronger in that part of the football than us and that is why they beat us.”
It was suggested that Newcastle surpasses, to which he replied: “They have won more duels than us. Is that abolition? Or is it one of their biggest traits, playing so many air duels and winning these physical duels?
“He surpassed me if you don’t touch the ball and they play through you every time you try to press them, and every time you are late. But I agree if you say they deserve to win because the game went the way they wanted to go.
“Well, yes, they deserve victory. But it wasn’t like we were running for them. We had to defend a lot of long balls, other balls and that’s their strength.”
The slot wanted to emphasize, however, despite the disappointment last week, that everything was not lost.
“It was a difficult week, but it was also a week when we extended the lead to 12 points, so not everything is negative but the last two [games] They were definitely not the way we wanted it to be, “he added.
“But it’s not the first time in their [Liverpool’s] History – or in the last two seasons – they have lost two games in a row. This is part of playing football.
“If you go far to tournaments that the opposition in your face becomes stronger and stronger, and then even Liverpool can lose football games. That can happen.”
Carra: Liverpool run out of money; Newcastle wiped under with them
Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher:
“Newcastle not just won, they beat Liverpool. It should have been 3-0 or 4-0.
“Liverpool has achieved a comforting goal. It’s hard for me to be too critical given what it will look like it will achieve this season, but many have not expected them.
“Liverpool were poor against PSG, and Newcastle was a good team of the Premier League, but they wiped up with them. Liverpool’s legs ran out of money, but luckily they have a big enough lead in the league.
“Under Eddie Howe, Newcastle was a physical team, but so far they have saved the best.
“It was not a great football game, but there was probably a lot of a plot from Newcastle. The pace of the Liverpool Front is missing.
“It’s not their day, it’s all in Newcastle. Set-Kamade wise, duels in the middle of the park and tempo. Liverpool couldn’t handle.”
