After Liverpool FC defeated Bournemouth 1-0 in the fifth round of the Premier League, Liverpool manager Arne Slot gave an interview to the English media.

First, congratulations. Of course you wanted to win this match badly, and being able to win while keeping a clean sheet must be very satisfying.

For us, this result is very good. We knew that playing at this ground would be difficult, and getting three points is never easy. Especially in the early stages of the match, we felt their pressing was intense and we weren't comfortable in the physical battle. However, I thought our performance improved in the latter part of the first half and throughout the second half. We found better positions to control the ball. I think by the end of the match, you could see they were tiring somewhat, and we managed to finish the game well.

Both teams couldn't create many chances in the first half, but Alisson made a good save from Evanilson's shot, which was a decent opportunity.

To be honest, I wasn't satisfied with our performance in the first half. I think especially in the first 20 minutes, they pressed us hard and many situations unfolded in our area rather than theirs. Apart from that one chance, neither team had particularly clear-cut opportunities, but we weren't comfortable in the first half. I thought towards the end of the first half, and especially in the second half, we found better positions to keep the ball and controlled the match better.

Clearly, Alexander Isak scoring his fourth goal of the season is excellent. A striker needs to maintain his momentum in front of goal, and he continues to score.

I think the key was that we played better. In the second half we played better, managed the ball better both inside and outside the penalty area. We had better moments and created better chances, and Alexander Isak took one of those opportunities to score. I thought he was very tired by the end of the match, and Kuomas also helped us finish the game well. Of course, we want Alexander Isak to continue scoring for the team.

Finally, can you say something about Jeremy Sargent? He's played only seven matches in this country and is just 21 years old, but he seems to be adapting very well.

I'm pleased with him. He's helping us defensively, and this is our third consecutive clean sheet. He also received his first senior international call-up this week, and I'm very happy for him. He's still very young and, like others, has areas to improve, but I think he's showing composure and confidence, and we're very satisfied with his performances.
