Arne Slot's first competitive game is on door steps when Liverpool FC meet Laliga team Real Betis in Pitsburg, USA. Match is gonna happen at Acrisure Stadium, Pitsburg. For the preseason tour our 27 member squad has landed at America yesterday.
Real Betis have finished on 7th position on there league last season, defines there quality in a tough league.!!!!!!!!!! A Manuel Pellegrini coached side is well equipped to finish there preseason in style. They are most likely to play a 4-3-2-1 position with Chimy Avela as lone striker. Isco Alarcon is sidelined due to a broken fibula, it is likely that Nabil Fekir (C) and Rodri Sanchez likely to take up that role. We know Nebil Fekir's ability to penetrate any defense line with his own skills at any day. At the heart of midfield it is Cardosso and newly arrived Marc Roca from Leeds gonna play. They are a defensively strong team too.
Hector Bellerin and Romain Parraud on either side of the defense we could see a well balanced defensive formation. A Salah leaded Liverpool attack is gonna face some serious threat going forward. With the absence of some keyplayers due to there international duty off we are poised to field a mix of youth and senior players together. Academy players are performing well and are keen to perform in first team level is good signal for the club and the coach. Among that Jad Danns, Tray Nyoni, Morton, Bacjectic have through our academy setup and they are really talented. Excited to see them play along with the club's senior players. In mid it is more likely Endo to play as DM and Slot can utilise Bacjetic service in between. With the absence of Jota, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo we could see Salah, Harvey Elliot, Ben Doak, Carvhalo to play forward.
Hope we don't concede to keep the momentum up.
