Liverpool manager Arne Slot confessed that emotions improved him before his two-match Touchline ban after a red card in the collision against Everton.
The last Merseyside Derby in Goodison Park ended this month in an exciting 2-2 draw, with the late goal of James Tarkowski who secured a point for the jubilant toffees.
However, tensions escalated after the match, which resulted in Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucoure who received second yellow cards, while Slot was sent after confronting referee Michael Oliver.
The afterpath of the derby led to the end of the lock for two races and a fine of £ 70,000 fined. Before this punishment was published, the Dutchman admitted that emotions had clouded his judgment.
“Emotions got better from me,” Klot announced two weeks before his prohibition was imposed. “If I could do it differently, if I look back at it, I would like to do it differently. I would do it (differently) next time.
“Many things in extra times that I was angry about. There was a VAR check for minutes, and I thought the only thing he could look at was the mistake, and then I was happy because I thought it might be offside! Of course after 10 minutes you hear their fans cheer … so many things have happened.
“It felt immediately after the referee had blown that we lost two points. But in the other 98 minutes I didn't feel constant as if we were going to win the game. It felt like a draw, and a draw would be a fair result. But with We were pretty close to winning after 97 minutes, so it felt like we were lost. “
With Slot's suspension confirmed, the Liverpool manager will be absent in the touchline for their match against Newcastle on Wednesday evening and their journey to Southampton on March 8.
However, he will be present for the Champions League collision of his team against Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital next week, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The Dutchman had already admitted to the indictment of the FA on “in an inappropriate way and/or used offensive and/or offensive words and/or behavior towards both the match referee and an assistant referee”.
An independent regulatory committee has now decided to have the prohibition and fine of lock, and has also punished his assistant, Sipke Hulshoff. Hulshoff has also received a ban from two competitions and a fine of £ 7,000 after being rejected in addition to his colleague. Liverpool and Everton are further confronted with considerable fines of £ 65k and £ 50k respectively for not controlling their players during the derby.
