Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has used psychological warfare to praise Wolverhampton’s Matheus Cunha, his opponent this weekend, as good enough to play for a top-five Premier League team, even though his real intention is not to let the 25-year-old playmaker excel at Anfield (16 Feb).
Kunya has been in red-hot form with 11 goals and four assists in 23 league games this season and has signed a new contract until June 2029 amid interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
Of course, Slots, aware of the toxicity เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย of the Brazilian players, highly praised them for their quality, saying that they were good enough to play for a top Premier League team. Therefore, the team must keep a close eye on them.
“If you look at the Dutch Eredivisie and see if the 17th-placed team has any players who could play for Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord – the Dutch giants – the answer is no,” Slot said at a press conference.
“But for Mateus, Cunha is a player with great quality. He has the potential to play for a top-five Premier League team.”
“That’s why it’s harder to beat the 17th-placed Premier League team compared to the Dutch Eredivisie,”
“So Sunday’s game is a tough one anyway.”
