Slot Calls on Fans to Back Liverpool vs PSG
Arne Slot hails Fulham win but warns Liverpool's work is far from done ahead of PSG Champions League clash.
“When he plays, he plays really well and today he scored, which is vital in football. Goals matter a lot...”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Saturday's 2-0 win over Fulham, saying it lifted the mood after a tough run of defeats. Rio Ngumoha's stunning opener and Mohamed Salah's quick follow-up goal kept Liverpool fifth in the Premier League.
Liverpool's win over Fulham marked their first league victory since late February, ending a string of humbling defeats, including a 4-0 thrashing by Manchester City and a 2-0 loss at PSG.
“It's a better place than it was two or three days ago or a week ago, but it's also not that after we win everything is good again,” Slot cautioned, emphasizing the team's focus should remain on the challenge ahead, particularly Tuesday's Champions League clash against PSG.
Arne Slot praised the electric atmosphere created by Liverpool fans against Fulham and is urging supporters to bring similar energy to Anfield next week for the Champions League quarter-final against PSG.
“This was a massive win not only for the league but looking forward to Tuesday, not only for the players but also for the fans. After a 4-0 loss and a 2-0 loss everybody could do with this win,” Slot told the BBC.
“One thing is clear is that on Tuesday we need our fans. There were fans in Paris but we had a very hard time.
“Anfield has shown many times that it can lift the team to another level, and we need that again. Half an hour before the game the players need that support and need to feel it is going to be another special evening.”
17-year-old Rio Ngumoha made history as Liverpool's youngest Premier League scorer at Anfield, leaving fans buzzing about his potential.
Arne Slot praised Ngumoha's growing impact, sparking speculation about the teenager's possible start against PSG.
“One of his strengths is dominating the one-v-one,” Slot said. “We've seen this season as he gets more and more playing time ... that's what he deserves.

Mohamed Salah scored in his first Anfield game since announcing his departure, sparking emotional chants from Liverpool fans.
“It is important for Mo that he scored this goal, but it was mainly important for the team and the club that we won this game,” Slot said.
“For Mo to score a finish that he has done so many times, inside foot, far corner ... I'm happy he scored a vital goal for himself and the team.”
