VIDEO SHOWS: ARNE SLOT PRESS CONFERENCE FULL SCRIPT TO FOLLOW SHOWS: LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, UK (DECEMBER 23, 2025) (NICHE MEDIA – Access all) 1. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARNE SLOT, LIVERPOOL MANAGER, TALKING ABOUT THE INJURY TO ALEXANDER ISAK, SAYING: "No, it's going to be a long injury for a couple of months. So yeah, that's a big, big, big disappointment for him. And as a result of that, of course, also for us." 2. WHITE FLASH 3. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARNE SLOT, LIVERPOOL MANAGER, TALKING ABOUT THE INJURY TO ALEXANDER ISAK, SAYING: "Yeah, this was, for me, a reckless challenge. So I think I said a lot about the tackle of Xavi Simons, which for me was completely unintentional, and you I don't think you will ever get an injury out of a tackle like that, the tackle of (Micky) Van der Ven. If you make that tackle 10 times, I think 10 times there’s a serious chance that a player gets a serious injury." 4. WHITE FLASH 5. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARNE SLOT, LIVERPOOL MANAGER, TALKING ABOUT HUGO EKITIKE, SAYING: "Still, he needs to get stronger, but he already became stronger. I don't think he changed a lot in all his offensive qualities, he's fast, he can score a goal, he has great footwork, he has dribbling skills, so he has so much in his locker, I think is the way you say it. But his biggest thing to improve is not, I think he's adjusted to the Premier League now, he has to not only adjust but make sure, with his physique, how fast he is, he can become also physically outstanding, and that's where he's working on really hard." 6. WHITE FLASH 7. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARNE SLOT, LIVERPOOL MANAGER, SAYING: "Two difficult ones again, two home games, that's really nice. So I think it's a time for the players we do have available to do what they've done so many times, to roll their sleeves up, and not only our players but our fans as well, to help us in the best possible way to get the results we want in the upcoming two games, because therefore the players that are available need to give everything they have."
