Arrigo Sacchi has warned AC Milan that Liverpool will be a very tough opponent for them to face even if they have just lost their first game under Arne Slot in rather surprising circumstances.
Liverpool had started the season well under Slot, who arrived from Feyenoord to replace fan favourite and club legend Jurgen Klopp in the summer after the German departed having been there since 2015.
A 2-0 win against Ipswich was followed by another 2-0 win at home to Brentford, then a 3-0 win at Old Trafford against rivals Manchester United really got the excitement brewing
Things came crashing down on Saturday afternoon though as Nottingham Forest won at Anfield for the first time since February 1969, stunning the Reds thanks to Callum Hudson-Odoi’s curling shot.
Despite that result, Sacchi used his weekly column for La Gazzetta dello Sport to focus on the Champions League and warn the Rossoneri of the dangers that Slot’s team can bring, with his comments translated below.
“I saw Liverpool against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. It is true that they lost at Anfield, but it is also true that before conceding the goal they had at least three clear chances to take the lead,” he began.
