Sloth praised Wirtz's debut goal: "It's not just a 'liberation,' but the beginning of his journey to the top."

In the post-match press conference following Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Wolves, manager Arne Sloot focused on the performance of the team's rising star, Florian Wirtz.

Sloot believes that Wirtz's first goal not only relieved the pressure on him, but also marked that Wirtz is gradually climbing to the peak of his physical fitness and competitive state.

Regarding Wirtz finally opening his goal account for Liverpool, Sloot admitted: "In the world of football, individuals are often defined by goals and assists, and people sometimes overlook the other contributions a player makes on the field. I observed that he reacted strongly after scoring, and his teammates were genuinely happy for him."

Sloot emphasized that Wirtz's breakout performance was no accident. With his physical condition improving, the midfield maestro is evolving with each game. Sloot commented, "Many of his moments on the pitch were truly 'special.' I believe he himself knows that one goal is far from the end, and he will contribute many more spectacular goals for Liverpool in the future."

Despite taking three points, Sloot had reservations about his team's performance in the second half. After taking a 2-0 lead into the second half, Liverpool failed to control the game, allowing Wolves to capitalize on their chances and pull one back, leading to a tense match.

“I’m not satisfied with the pace of the second half. In football, a goal can instantly change the momentum and make the game more even,” Slot analyzed. “Although we didn’t leave too many gaps, we did face considerable pressure defensively when facing the crosses from the opponent’s tall players.”

Finally, Sloot praised the team's fighting spirit. Compared to the end of last week's match, Liverpool showed significant improvement in their ability to withstand pressure. Sloot sees this ability to find ways to win in adversity as key to the team's continued growth.
