Slotte: If you can only choose one of the Premier League/Champions League champions this season, I will choose the Champions League this time

According to TNT Sport, Liverpool coach Slott was interviewed and talked about topics such as the team's goals this season.

Do you prefer to defend the Premier League championship this season or help Liverpool regain the Champions League trophy?

If you can only choose one of two - this is a difficult decision, but this time I will choose the Champions League championship.

Analysis of Liverpool's elimination by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season

I don't want to belittle Paris' performance last season because that's really great. But I think there is one thing that is good for Paris but not for Premier League teams - we don't have a winter break. Perhaps the two Champions League playoffs between Paris and Brest also helped them, allowing them to have a rest period and then adjust to their best form through the game.

When we fought with us in March this year, Paris was at its peak. Our best condition was in January, and around March, the team struggled to maintain strength. After March, although our condition has rebounded, we have missed the Champions League.

Regarding Liverpool's high-end purchases this summer, I understand that some people can't see or understand that we also have players transferred out - after all, in England, this situation is too rare because the clubs here almost only buy but not sell. The British didn't even know that English clubs would sell players, perhaps Chelsea was the exception because they had too many players. But last season our lineup was not big, and we were indeed introducing new players by selling people.

In English football, this kind of operation (seller reinforcement) is too rare. I learned one thing from this: if you want not to cause controversy, the better way is to retain the existing lineup and spend £200 million to sign ups - so no one will say anything. We did introduce several players this summer, and unfortunately, due to Jota's death, we had to sign one more player than we originally planned, which also led to our total investment exceeding expectations.
