Slot pointed out that the team struggled with counter-attacks, but added that this could be attributed to the fact that they were fielding a large number of players. He explained that the team wanted to give 20 players a chance to play, resulting in some players not being in their usual positions.
Slot mentioned that the decision to leave Luis Diaz out of the matchday squad was made with the possibility of a transfer in mind. However, he declined to provide further details due to ongoing rumors surrounding the player.
Slot also discussed the situation with Darwin Nunez, stating that the player had been training well but was injured and therefore not risked in the match.
Slot emphasized that Diaz is currently training with the team and not playing in the games for now, but he chose not to elaborate on the matter further.
