Slotte: Isaac and Leoni will have an opportunity in minster week, and there will be no matches and even a friendly match will be arranged

Liverpool will face Southampton in the third round of the League Cup in early Wednesday morning. Before this game, Reds coach Slott talked about his thoughts.

Regarding whether there will be rotations

, we will make adjustments, just like last season's League Cup. We need to play a lot of games, and the players are capable of dealing with it but need some rest occasionally. Because we sometimes forget that while we focus on Liverpool’s games, many players also played two games for the national team.

They can bear a lot, but occasionally they need to take a day or two, which is actually not much. Yes, we will completely change the starting lineup. But our players are in good shape, which is obvious. For example, in the stoppage time against Everton, I hope to have another three to four seconds of stoppage time because we were in a five-on-two situation at that time. This shows our mental outlook, that is, we always desire to score goals.

That three-minute stoppage time is completely correct, because there are only three substitutions, no delay time and no player is receiving treatment for injuries, and in other games where goals are required, there are many delays.

Regarding whether players such as Isaac, Leoni and Mamadashvili will have a chance

Yes, there are Endo and some other players. These players need to play and we are happy to have such an opportunity. Without this game, we might have arranged a friendly match to keep them in shape.

We have used a lot of players in the last three games to maintain overall energy, but not all of them have been given the opportunity to play. For those who haven't played, now is the best time for them to get their playing time.

About the goal of this season's League Cup

We reached the final last season with such a lineup. We will not underestimate any trophy and always hope to win the championship in every event. This is the advantage of our team's strength. Even if we send another lineup tomorrow, we will still be a very excellent team. But we also need to consider the long-term. If we want to be competitive in every trophy, some players need a normal week, and there is no mid-week game in such a week.
