- Asked if it was the perfect response, Slot said maybe; he saw similarities with recent games but also differences. Scoring two set pieces to go 3-1 up at half-time was a big, big difference.
- Slot said the biggest difference was the opponent's playing style. His team got energy from pressing, which they could not do in the last four or five games because the ball was in the air.
- Asked about Salah and an African award, Slot agreed Hakimi had a great season but said it is up to other people to decide. If he had a vote, it would go to Salah.
- Asked about winning the league, Slot said they are always focused on the short term and have a team that can compete. They are focused on the next league game, because they lost the last three.
- Asked about a long touchline talk with one of his players after 10 minutes, Slot said they watched as many as eight of the opponent's games and never saw this 5-2-3. He had to adjust the press.
“No, if he was in the red zone, we wouldn't have played him.”
- Asked if Isak had aggravated a groin injury, Slot said he was perfectly fit before the United game and was expected to be ready to play tonight. He played, but he felt his groin a little.
- Asked how long a player needs to catch up after missing preseason, Slot said he doesn't think there is a rule; it depends on many factors. He thinks they did exactly what was needed and were really careful.
