“Slot Challenges Robertson’s Pace: ‘Perhaps Injury Was Too Much to Overcome'”

“Slot alludes to Robertson’s injury issues: ‘He’s usually quicker than that'”

Arne Slot implied that Issa Diop’s tackle on Andrew Robertson might have played a role in the red card Diop received later in the game.

Slot explained, “I believe Robbo may have been too injured to continue because he’s usually faster than that.” He commended Robertson for his determination to carry on despite the injury but admitted it likely contributed to the red card: “It shows his character that he kept going, but that played a role in the incident. For me, the main question was whether it was offside. I was confident the decision wouldn’t be overturned.”

Slot continued, “It’s difficult for me to judge since I saw it in real time, just like the referee.”
