Another battle will be staged in the 36th round of the 2024/25 Premier League, and the "Red Army" Liverpool will face the "Gunners" Arsenal at Anfield.
In the last round of the league match against Chelsea, Kwaanza, who started the game, caused discussion with his excellent defensive performance. Unfortunately, Kwaanza made an own goal in the game, which also led to the opponent getting a penalty kick in the final stage. In the end, Liverpool lost to Chelsea 1-3 at Stamford Bridge.
So far this season, 22-year-old defender Kwaan-Ansah has played 24 times for Liverpool in all competitions.
Speaking about the young defender, Liverpool manager Slot said: "I'm glad someone mentioned his outstanding performance against Chelsea because I completely agree with that. He played very well, but I think he still needs to take the last step. Maybe he has done it, but he needs to maintain this level for a longer period of time and avoid giving away penalties in the last minutes of the game."
"He has the qualities to play for this club and has proven himself to me and everyone else. But the biggest challenge for young players is to find consistency, which is what helped us win the league. Some players, like Yamal, seem to find consistency in their performances very early on."
Slote said, "However, Kwaansa has made great progress this season. What he needs to do next is to avoid similar mistakes in the final moments of the game. Although that mistake did not affect the result, if it could be avoided, everyone might evaluate him more positively. He is fast, strong, good at ball control, and has all the conditions required of a Liverpool central defender. Now, all he needs is to remain stable on the court."
"Kuaanza's performance is actually very stable, but one mistake may change the outside world's view of him in the entire game. Sometimes a small detail can determine success or failure, such as in the match against Paris Saint-Germain, his shot hit the post 10 minutes before the end of the game."
In addition, Sloter added, "These little details make a difference during the season, so to play at a club like Liverpool, Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain, you have to do a lot of things at the highest level. Once you do that, he can play here for many years."
