The Reds snatched a 2-1 win, but it wasn’t handed to them on a silver platter—oh no, this was more like a takeaway that hadn’t been prepared properly!

They know they shouldn’t, but sometimes they just need a little nudge, or a swift, dramatic intervention.
But Slot made it clear: no histrionics here! “I don’t scream or get angry. It’s just making sure the players understand that this is not enough.” An encouraging pep talk that says, “Boys, who cares about winning? Let’s at least not lose to Brighton!”
