Diogo Jota has revealed that Arne Slot is very demanding of his Liverpool players with the new Reds coach not being entirely satisfied with their 4-1 victory over Sevilla

Goals from the Portuguese, a Luis Diaz brace and Trey Nyoni clinched an emphatic win as the Dutchman oversaw his first match at Anfield.

Scoring one and setting up another, Jota was one of the star performers

Jota offered an insight into the Anfield dressing room and life under Slot as he shared the Dutchman’s post-match reaction.

“I think we worked hard, it’s sunny today, it’s very hot,”

“We worked hard, some of us did 90 minutes, so a good step into our preparation.

“Obviously it’s always good to work under victories and although we conceded a goal I think it was a good performance overall.

“New man on the touchline and everyone needs to adapt. I think we are working well, he is demanding.

“Even with a 4-1 win he was telling us what we need to improve and do better. So, I think that’s the way forward.

“I think we have played well in this pre-season, but we all know where it counts is next week.”

“You try to come with new ideas and when you win, that shows everyone that you are in the right direction.

“Although the most important [thing] in pre-season is getting that fitness back, building on top with wins is always better and I think that although we had people arriving at different stages we are building a fully fit XI to start the campaign next week.”

Jota was full of praise for his fellow goalscorers, Diaz and Nyoni, and admitted his own stunning left-footed volley was one of the best goals of his career.

Jota added

“A lot of good goals. Lucho, we already know what he can do, he scored twice,”

“And a special word for Trey – his first goal I think.

“He’s been demonstrating that he is very good, he is only very young and we have one for the future for sure.”

Of his own strike, jota said: “Yeah, one of the best! I hit it properly with my left foot and it ended up being a great goal. One of my best, for sure.

“So, [I am] happy with the result, with the way played and everybody worked out very hard today so a good step into the first game of the league next week.”
