Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has rejected suggestions that his players gave up during a recent defeat before their trip to Paris.

Arne Slot has dismissed claims from captain Virgil van Dijk that Liverpool players gave up during their most recent fixture. Van Dijk suggested the team lacked fight, but Slot disagreed with this assessment during his press conference on Tuesday, 7 April. The head coach stated that his squad has become experienced in handling negativity following a difficult period of form, according to The Guardian.

The manager remains under pressure as the club navigates a challenging sequence of matches in domestic and continental competitions. Per Sky Sports, Slot emphasized the importance of mental resilience before the meeting in France. Liverpool must win to improve their standing in the current tournament phase. The squad travelled to Paris today following their final training session on Merseyside.
