Liverpool Target Positive End to 2025\/26 Season<\/h2>\n

Arne Slot Discusses 2 Players Who Are \u2018Very Important’<\/h3>\n

Slot has revealed the club\u2019s priorities for the rest of the season:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have three clear priorities this season, FA Cup, Champions League qualification and Champions League. But we are also aware of the limited options I have in terms of the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has spoken on the importance of Milos Kerkez:<\/p>\n

“These two have been very important for us. The energy both of them bring to (to the team) is very important for the team.<\/p>\n

“Milos has shown this season that defensively he is very solid and able to defend one versus ones against the best wingers in the world and more and more we saw what we saw at Bournemouth, that he is an offensive threat as well, that he has the power to go up and down and also be an offensive threat.<\/p>\n

Slot Praises Dominik Szoboszlai<\/h3>\n

“Szoboszlai, I cannot stop talking about him, all the qualities he has is close to ridiculous, on the ball, off the ball, can score a free kick, his work rate is another level off the ball, the way he runs, the intensity he presses with is unbelievable<\/p>\n

“And I think we can all see what technique and insight he has. So if you are able to play right full back, holding midfielder, offensive midfielder, right winger, then you must have so many qualities if you are able to play in all these positions.<\/p>\n

“So he has been vital for us this and last season by the way and he will continue to be that for us for the upcoming season, like Milos.”<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Liverpool ends this season with silverware, but either way, it looks like it will be a busy summer for the Reds.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
