The Liverpool head slot admits that it should ‘give a better example’ following Oliver Row

Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, knows that he must give a better example after the football association revealed the details of his exchange with referee Michael Oliver after Merseyside’s derby.

Oliver gave a prohibition of the two -game contact line and a fine of £ 70,000 after it was sent by Oliver after a dramatic conclusion to the final meeting with the Everton neighbors that will be held at Goodison Park.

The Dutchman was enraged after James Tarkowski threw a last equalizer home to ensure a 2-2 draw, causing wild celebrations among Everton fans. Oliver’s decision not to grant a foul against Everton in the accumulation of the goal was confirmed by VAR, which also awarded that Tarkowski was on his side.

After the final whistle, Abdouye Doucoure’s celebrations in front of Liverpool fans resulted in a melee that involved him already Curtis Jones, and both saw red before Slot was fired for his protests with Oliver.

A written FA report revealed that Slot had said that Oliver had given Everton “f ****** everything.” After strengthening Oliver’s hand for the second time, Slot said: “If we don’t win the League, I will blame you.”

When asked about the exchange at a press conference before the draw of the Liverpool Champions League the last 16 with Paris Saint-Germain, Slot said: “What I also said in the written report and I can say it once again, at the time it happened that it was quite emotional for everything that happened in the last seven or eight minutes and perhaps throughout the game.

“I chose to go to the field instead of keeping calm staying inside and then talking with Michael.

“Now I don’t have the same emotions, so I think I should give a better example of what he gave at that time and not return to the situation.

“It is clear what I have written and what Michael has written. Michael has been in the news quite recently and I don’t think I help if I add something to that, now I have my emotions under control. “

Liverpool is chasing a triplet that has progressed to the Capabao Cup final against Newcastle United on March 16 and built an advantage of 13 points at the top of the Premier League.

But it is not yet clear if they will have the available Cody Gakpo striker since the Reds seek to increase their hopes of the Champions League in the first match against the PSG in the Parc Des princes.

“He was close to being ready to play again, but unfortunately yesterday he had to block a shot and felt a little pain again,” Slot about Gakpo said.

“We brought it with us to judge how he can be part of the team, but it will be a close decision.”
