Arne Slot reveals his delight at landing Italian star Federico Chiesa for a bargain £12.5m deal. The Liverpool boss was speaking ahead of Sunday's huge clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
0:00 satisfied with business? We are happy with the ones we signed. Chiesa is someone who can help us in the short team.
1:13. Allison? We have to make decisions. It's not only the player. We need competition and a lot of good players.
1:50? How different will Old Trafford be compared to USA? Stadium was similar but atmosphere will be completely different. Both teams have a lot of different players on the pitch.
2:37. The fixture? Some of them have tried to tell me a few things about the fixture but if you start to work at LFC, every player and staff know how big it is. It is similar to Ajax vs Geyenoord. For a long time I've known the importance of the fixture.
3:20. Relationship with ETH? Good. And normal, the same as I have with other coaches. We respect each other a lot because of what they've done at the former clubs.
4:00. Friends? No. A very good relationship but we don't know each other well enough to go out for dinner.
4:26. Patience for Chiesa? Excited to work with him.
6:00. Previous experiences prepare you for this? Prepare them for what they can expect. Playing in a hostile environment, players have to be aware of that. Many of these players have played there before.
6:50. Chiesa's injury record over exaggerated? It wouldn't be the first time the English media have over exaggerated. He's had minor injuries but we have a lot of trust in our performance staff.
7:52. Outgoings? If it's right for the player and club, we will act. My main attention is on United.
8:18. Curtis Jones? He will not train with us today.
8:33. Second time at OT? I've been there before when we lost 4-0 with one of my former clubs. We have a better team now to go to old Trafford.
9:20. Surprised how in England there's always pressure on the ball? What I see is not every team have a high press, but most of them do.
10:44. Harvey Elliott? We only have one game a week. Harvey will get a lot of playing time.
11:50. Too early for Chiesa? He's going to train but bigger chance that he isn't in the squad. I don't expect him to be.
