In the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool FC defeated Ipswich Town 2-0. After the match, Arne Slot, Liverpool FC's manager, gave an interview to beIN Sports.

Congratulations on your first win as Liverpool FC manager. How does it feel? What are your thoughts on the team's performance tonight?

It feels very good. Obviously, winning and keeping a clean sheet always feels good. I thought, especially tonight, our performance in the first half was excellent. We controlled the game well in the second half too. We may not have created many chances or scored a third goal, but overall it was a solid performance.

Of course, Alexander Isak scored both goals and will be the headline after the match, but Cody Gakpo provided both assists and he also created chances for Alexander Isak in the previous match. Are we starting to see an increasing understanding developing between the two of them?

Yes, I think Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak, and all the players who can play in the three attacking positions have the ability to produce good performances. I'm very pleased because we started very strongly. We played with intensity from the start of the match, and I remember we had a corner kick in the first minute. In the opening 10 to 15 minutes, we created many excellent attacking opportunities and put a lot of pressure on the opposition. I thought we deserved those goals. Overall, I think we played the first half almost perfectly.

You mentioned the clean sheet. How important was it to achieve your first clean sheet since taking the position?

I think it's always satisfying. In the few games before this, we conceded two goals. Sometimes the goals we conceded were far too easy, but I thought we controlled the game well today. They clearly increased their attacking efforts in the latter stages of the second half, but I don't recall them creating any clear-cut chances. So overall, I think the team's defensive performance today was excellent.

Finally, what are your thoughts on Bradley Barcola's performance? This is his first game since joining the team, and everyone is watching how he settles in.

He looked very dangerous. Every time he got the ball, he created a threat. There were several occasions where he broke free one-on-one, but we couldn't get him the ball in those moments. However, I'm pleased with his performance. I think he maintained a high level of play for nearly 30 minutes, and I hope we can continue to help him develop, improve, and get into better positions.
