Arne Slot, manager of Liverpool, admitted that he should “have acted differently” when he was sent after the last whistle of his team’s 2-2 draw on Wednesday evening with Everton from 2-2 draw.
A compensation of 98 minute from central defender James Tarkowski brought Everton a point from her last Merseyside derby in Goodison Park. After a game that was littered with controversial decisions, Slot approached referee Michael Oliver in the middle of the field.
The Dutch coach exchanged words while shook the official’s hand before he was shown a red card immediately. Slot’s assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, was sent to him shortly before more obvious.
After the media tasks were suspended after the game after receiving a red card, Slots was saved for his press conference on Friday for his press conference. “The additional five minutes [of added time] In the end it was eight minutes and the feelings defeated me, “admitted the normally reserved boss.
“If I look back on it, I would like to do it differently. I hope that next time I would do it differently, but what exactly was said or what happened, I only told you that there is an ongoing process and I don’t want to disturb that.
“Many things happened in the final phase, but it would not be wise to go into every single incident. I should have acted differently after the game, but it is an emotional sport.”
An official explanation of the Premier League published on Thursday claimed that the slot was banned for two games after “offensive, insulting or abusive language”. This line was later deleted and the slot is still waiting for its punishment – which will be triggered by the football association and not by the Premier League on Monday at the latest.
Similar to his two coaches, Curtis Jones was sent off the way. The local midfielder of Liverpool reacted angrily to Abdoulaye Doucore’s celebrations after the game in front of the traveling Reds fans, stormed his opponent and triggered a mass brawl. Both players were shown a second yellow card.
“I really like that he is committed to the team,” said Slot about Jones, “but I think there are other options for the team and for fans.
“So I’ll talk to him about it. But it’s the same for me. I should have acted differently after the game.”
