Slot admits to emotional failing after Everton draw
Arne Slot felt his emotions got the better of him after he was shown a red card in the aftermath of Liverpool's dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton.
Slot was sent off after full-time at Goodison Park after confronting referee Michael Oliver.
The official had sent off Liverpool's Curtis Jones and Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure for a fracas at the end of the game.
Speaking in the press conference ahead of the Reds' home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Slot suggested that he regretted his behaviour.
"What happened was that, during the stoppage time, there was a lot that happened and the emotions got the better of me," he said.
"I would have loved to do it differently if I could go back. I hope to do it differently the next time as well. But on what happened and what was said, I told you it was an ongoing process and I don't want to disturb that."
Despite the Premier League initially suggesting that he would serve a two-match touchline ban, his punishment has not been confirmed and he could be in the dugout at Anfield on Monday (AEDT).
"That is an ongoing process now and we have to respect that. So I can't go into the details," he said.
Slot also acknowledged the contribution of Matheus Cunha for Wolves, with the striker having scored 11 league goals.
"If you go to the Dutch league and look at the team in 17th place, there is no player who could play for Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord. But Matheus Cunha is a quality player and he has the quality to play for one of the top five teams in England," Slot said.
"That is why it is so much more difficult to win a game against the 17th team in England compared to the one in the Netherlands. So it's going to be a tough game on Sunday as well."
Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira, meanwhile, thinks that his team is improving under his guidance and gave praise to forward Goncalo Guedes, who has two goals and four assists in the league this season.
"Guedes, he has skills to decide a game in a second. In a few seconds, he can decide a game, because he's a scorer," he said.
"The finishing is very good, he has the power to run with the ball and to dribble and to accelerate the game in the moment.
"He knows the spaces that he needs to be to receive the ball. He knows how to find these spaces. But now I can speak about the moment and he is an important player for us."
When asked if Guedes was happy at the club, Pereira said: "Very happy. he's laughing every time.
"I think it's the energy. The energy in the air, it's not love in the air, but it's the energy in the air."
