Slot Talk: Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili for the Short and Long Term
He is not expecting any further transfers in this window.
Liverpool completed the transfers of Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili from Juventus and Valencia respectively.
And head coach Arne Slot expects them to play different, but significant roles at Liverpool.
“Of course we are happy with the ones we signed because I said many times that it’s difficult for us to make the team even stronger because we already have a very strong team. And if we then find them, of course we are very happy with that”, he said.
“Chiesa is someone who can help us for the short term and Mamardashvili is, I think, one of the examples where this club did in the past very good that they look also at the future, long-term future of the club – and that’s why we signed him”.
And he does not expect Liverpool to make any last minute signings on deadline day of the transfer window.
“I’m not expecting anything. But again, it’s no different to all the days before – if we see an opportunity, we could act. But I’m not expecting anything”, he said.
Up next he faces his first Northwestern Derby against Manchester United, and is well aware of the enormity of the fixture.
“If you’re starting to work at Liverpool, everybody knows, every player that comes in knows and every manager that comes in knows how important the game against United is. It’s similar to when you work at Feyenoord, how big the game against Ajax is. People tell you, of course, but it’s not really necessary because if you follow the game of football, which I do for a long time, you know the importance of Liverpool against United or United against Liverpool”, he said.
