The surprise of the evening in the Champions League came from Turkey where Galatasaray imposed in front of Liverpoolscore 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by Victor Osimhen (26 years old), following the penalty transformed into the 16th minute. At the end, Arne Slot (47 years old), the “Cormorant” technician, offered the first reaction after this failure.
He could not be satisfied, especially in the context of the second failure for Liverpool, after the one with Crystal Palace in the championship, score 1-2.
The Dutch man blames the arbitration and claims that the opponent was more stringed, especially in the phase that led to the 11 -meter blow transformed by OSIMhen. Dominik Szoboszlai was the one who failed in the box.
Arne Slot, statements after Galatasaray – Liverpool 1-0: “We were overcome in the chapter!”
“We are disappointed. Today we saw a different performance from the match with Crystal Palace. I played well and had a big opportunity to open the score. It is hard for me to compare this situation with one of the past.
At certain times we were overcome in the chapter and I cannot blame Szoboszlai for his mistake. From a penalty of 20%, they made a 100%penalty. Was very smart on their part”, He started his speech, according to Sportal.bg.
“I don't think we are far from the level we have shown last season. Sometimes these results appear because of the program. Playing with Galatasaray is always difficult, and then another difficult match with Chelsea away.
The differences are small compared to last season. But for the second time in a row, the result is not in our favor, ”added the Dutchman, who is also taken by the fact that the Turks drew quite a lot, and in the second half he played a little football.
In the first half I saw quite a lot of good things, but in the second there were much less. But in the second part the actual play time was quite short.
Their striker stayed to the ground four or five times. It was difficult to take rhythm.
