Slot talks about signings: I don t like the lineup is too large, I hope every player has a ball
Slott was interviewed a few days ago and talked about the possibility of the team introducing a defender after Leoni was seriously injured.
Liverpool had pursued Guy this summer but failed in the end. The Crystal Palace captain's contract expires next summer and Liverpool is expected to take action after he becomes a free agent.
When asked if Leoni's injury would change the internal idea of signings, Slott said: "It all depends on whether we will have more injuries and whether there are opportunities in the market, which is the answer I always give."
"But I don't tend to expand the roster to 24, 25 players. Similarly, if the team I lead has four or five players injured throughout the season, it might be wiser to expand the roster to 24, 25 players, but recent history shows that we have a good record of injury."
"We don't have five or six casualties all season, and if that happens, we may end up with only 15, 16 players left, which is usually It will be difficult. "
" So this is a choice I like to make, but I think it's also a financial choice that the club has to make. If we want to keep these top players, we can't have 24, 25 such players." "
" It's also a choice we make, I know there's a lot of discussion about our roster, but if people look at it the way they should, you'd say we have 20, 21 players, and some other teams that compete with us have 24, 25, 26 players. But that's the choice we make, because I believe every player needs to have a prospect of development or playing time. "
" If I have to let four or five players down, I admit it For that is not the right energy you want to have in the team. On the other hand, it means that if you have a wounded person, you no longer have two substitutes, so you no longer have two players for each position. "
" That's the risk you need to take, but that's why we try to bring in all-rounders, like Wiltz, who can play on the left, can play on the 10th, can play on the 8th, Sobosloy, I think he can play on all positions. "
" That's what we do, and that's why we might be able to spend a little more on one player, rather than bringing in three players, which is perhaps the difference between us and other clubs."
Slott added: " I think it takes us longer to prove that the team has a good injury record, and by the way, we, like any other team in the league, try to build some way of working to prevent injuries as much as possible, but usually anterior cruciate ligament injury is difficult to prevent. "
" Muscle injuries may be better preventable, and there is a greater chance of preventing muscle injuries unless you have only 14 players available and have to overload them. If you look at the situation in Isaac, we are trying to make the best plan and stick to it."
"I may be tempted occasionally, and even want him to play for 90 minutes tomorrow, but I always try to look at these issues in the long run, not in the short run."
