Slot Responds to Szoboszlai on Liverpool's Lack of Fighting Spirit

After Liverpool's heavy defeat to Manchester City, coach Arne Slot addressed midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai's comments about the team's lack of fighting spirit, acknowledging a key 10‑minute period where intensity fell.

Slot said he did not agree with Szoboszlai over the entire game but admitted a drop in intensity after Liverpool conceded, especially in the first 10 minutes after half‑time. He highlighted how quickly the team unraveled after a throw‑in, noting the need for sharper defense and a stronger mentality.

The coach stressed that the squad is aware of the issues and that the upcoming match against Paris Saint‑Germain will demand immediate improvement in duels and overall intensity.
