Slot showed his excitement when talking about Chiesa complimenting the player’s attitude and work ethic which he thinks will blend in well with Liverpool’s current culture.
“One of the best things about working here is the culture of the team. They work really hard to achieve goals. It is really important that the first player you bring in has the same attitude and brings the same culture. He works really hard on and off the pitch and combines this with scoring goals and being really aggressive without the ball,”
Slot said.
Concurring with the fierce rivalry between Ajax and Feyenoord he also acknowledged the importance of the forthcoming game against United.
“Everybody knows how important this game against United is”

“I’m not expecting anything, but if we see an opportunity we could act”.
He mentioned Harvey Elliott’s little playing time this season as well but he gave his word that it was due to the team’s intense competition.
“He will get playing time if he keeps doing what he does”
Giving Elliott hope that his endurance and patience would soon pay off.
