- Looking forward to seeing this coach’s performance in his first official league game.
Liverpool legend Ian Rush has urged fans not to rush to judge Dutch head coach Arne Slot based on his pre-season performances. As it is the team’s preparation period.
“It’s tough you know (pre-season), it’s two weeks of really hard training, two or three times a day, then your legs start to get heavier. It’s about taking the time to get fit. You haven’t played for months and weeks after the season ends. But with the limited games in pre-season and everyone having. That’s for the start of the season. The team has to be ready,” Rush said.
“The pre-season results don’t mean much to us. But when the https://ufabet999.app season starts everyone is fit and ready. That’s the main goal. So don’t judge them by their pre-season results, because it’s completely different to the official competition.”
“We’ll see when we play Ipswich Town in the first game of the season,” the former Reds striker concluded.
For the 45-year-old, Slots just started his first pre-season game as Liverpool lost 0-1 to Preston North End.
