Arne Slot Emphasizes One Word on What Liverpool Must Improve Against PSG in Return Leg | OneFootball

Liverpool came from behind for a 3-1 win over Southampton on Saturday at Anfield. Moreover, Arne Slot noted that this performance left a lot to be desired regarding intensity.

Southampton opened the scoring on the road with a goal in the first half stoppage time. It would seem that this match would be a trap game for the Reds who might have their eyes on Tuesday’s return leg against PSG.

However, that wasn’t the case as Liverpool scored three unanswered goals in the final 45 minutes to secure the victory thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, who recorded a brace.

Following the win over Southampton, Liverpool manager Arne Slot spoke about how the intensity levels of his squad need to improve for the return leg against the capital club.

“When I look at the game against PSG, we need to go one step up in terms of intensity,” Slot said (h/t Liverpoolfc.com). “But if I compare it with the game today, we need to go three, four, five, six or seven steps up in terms of intensity if we want to have any chance of reaching the next round.”

If Liverpool plays like they did in the first leg and the first 45 minutes against Southampton, PSG will have a chance to advance, especially if they can finish off their scoring chances, which they didn’t do last Wednesday.
