LIV boss call for English football to make major change to help academy prospect

Arne Slot has doubled with his calls for English football to help themselves by allowing teams to name 23 players in Matchday Squadrons.

The Liverpool manager is not entirely Jurgen Klopp in terms of his expressions about the congestion of the luminaire and a busy calendar – but Slot is of the opinion that English clubs should receive replacers.

This, Slot, will enable talented young people to have more opportunities to get minutes in the first teams. For example, when Liverpool stood against Tottenham 4-0 on Thursday evening, Slot could, for example, give experience to the teenagers who made an impression on him in the training.

“If you are a club that plays so many games, then you must have 22 or 23 players,” he said. 'To go to a game with 20 is no problem, but you want to create something and give Academy players a chance occasionally. It is a big problem for Academy players. '

With a fully fit contingent last Saturday, senior stars Joe Gomez and Federico Chiesa did not get in terms of travel to the Reds fixture in Bournemouth. Young people such as James McConnell and Trey Nyoni may also have had the chance to make the bank.

Earlier in the week, Slot said: 'That is one of the few things that I don't understand here in England. So also all over the world in Europe, when we play the Champions League, we can take 23 players to the game.

'And we are here in a country where we play the most games in the world – such as Arsenal, US, Aston Villa, Chelsea, all teams that play in Europe – and we have the League Cup and the FA Cup about here too.

'So we play like that, so so many games, so if you can play all these games, you need a big team. That seems to me to be honest and one of the things that is so important for a manager, to choose the first 11, is difficult, but to tell someone that they are not in the team, makes it harder.

'So I don't understand why we don't go to 23 in this country, because this country plays the most games in the world and we only have 20 players we can take to that game.

“To leave someone who works so hard on a daily basis who also wants to be involved in the game, and does not even bring him to the game, that is the most difficult decision for me to make, yes.”
