Meski terdapat perbedaan pandangan, Slot menyatakan bahwa dirinya dan Salah memiliki tujuan akhir yang sama. Keduanya menginginkan kesuksesan jangka panjang klub.

"We both want what's best for the club, we both want the club to be successful, and that's the main aim," jelas Slot.

Slot juga menambahkan bahwa ia berencana melakukan evaluasi dan evolusi taktik pada bursa transfer musim panas mendatang. Tujuannya mengembalikan performa menghibur yang disukai para suporter.

"I have to find a way to evolve this team now and definitely in the summer and in the upcoming season to be successful again, and to play a brand of football that I like.

And if I like it then the fans will like it as well because I haven't liked a lot of the way we played this season," tutur Slot.

Terkait tuduhan bahwa kritik Salah telah meruntuhkan otoritasnya sebagai manajer utama, Slot langsung membantah keras dalam konferensi pers.

"You are doing a lot of assumptions.

First of all you say that he wants to play that style and then say it is not my style," tegas Slot.

Ia mengingatkan kembali bahwa performa taktis musim lalu terbukti sukses mempersembahkan gelar juara liga bagi publik Anfield.

"I think Mo was really happy with the style we played last year as it led to us winning the league.

Football has changed, football has evolved, but we both want what is best for Liverpool and that is for us to compete for trophies, which we haven't done this season and which we did last season," papar Slot.
