Arne Slot has warned that announcing VAR decisions to the crowd could be counterproductive with the referees who feel more pressure with local fans.
Anfield's supporters for the second match of the semifinal of the Liverpool Cop .
Although the idea of additional communication for those who pay for party matches has been widely received with approval, Slot did not enjoy the experience of the first leg when Dominic Solanke was explained verbally, but the decision not to grant Lucas Bergvall a de Tottenham to the red card was not.
Bergvall ended up scoring the only goal of the game to give the Spurs a thin advantage ahead of the rematch.
“I wonder if everyone is going to like us,” he reflected on the referees on which the decisions move and announce.
'I wonder if it is good for the referee because it is already under a lot of pressure in each game of local fans.
'And I think explaining something if it is against the local team, I would even add more pressure on the next decisions you have to make.
I was there at the Spurs stadium. I think maybe if he (referee Stuart Attwell) would have explained it (not punish Bergvall) and at the disadvantage of the local team, then perhaps it becomes even more pressure.
For me it is not necessary to announce things. But I can see the live coverage of everything (on a screen), it is not available or every fan, so it is good for them. ''
Slot also questioned why teams are not allowed to appoint their 23 team at the bank as in the World Cup tournaments to avoid having to exclude some players from the first team from their game day party.
Federico Chiesa and Joe Gómez were not on the bench for the last game of Liverpool against Bournemouth, although both could appear against the Spurs.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is discarded from the semifinal due to an injury to the thigh with Conor Bradley Deputando.
“Trent will miss the game,” the slot confirmed. 'We have to see if you can play in the FA Cup on Sunday, but we know it is not available for Wednesday.
'I think you saw him leave the field in Bournemouth with a little leg pain. It is already in the training field but not with the team, but with the rehabilitation coach. Let's see how long it will take.
Those are the comments we gave Conor, it was not involved in each objective, but it was in one in which the overlap aggressively followed and that led to the third goal.
It is an opportunity for Bradley, who was to blame for a goal in the defeat of the Liverpool 3-2 Champions League against PSV.
“You can learn from each game and the hat is the comments we gave Conor,” Slot said. “I was not involved in each goal, but I was in one in which the overlap did not follow sufficiently aggressive and that led to the third goal.”
