Slot about 4:0 with Bayer: Liverpool took a risk, in the 1st half there was no threat to our goal. Sometimes a strong forward is better than someone who is faster

Arne Slot commented on the crushing victory over Bayer. Liverpool won at Anfield with a score of 4-0 in the match of the 4th round of the general stage of the Champions League.
I don`t know if it was the intensity of the game, but we took more risks. They [Leverkusen] were overloading the midfield and we adjusted our midfield line and took risks, playing one-on-one all over the field.
In the first half we had more chances, and the opponent did not pose a threat to our goal. As good as they are in Europe, sometimes a strong striker is better than someone who is faster. Curtis Jones made an incredible pass and then someone with the speed of Lucho (Luis Diaz - Sports) can finish it. In my opinion, the pass was as good as the goal.
The coach does not look ahead to the next three months - there is always only each subsequent game. On Saturday we have another tough match against Aston Villa.
Virgil [van Dijk] is sometimes criticized for not playing in midfield. “I would advise these people to watch today’s match because he was always ahead, ” the Liverpool manager said on Amazon Prime.
