Arne Slot's determined statement to England Premier League (EPL) famous referee Michael Oliver was released to the world.
On the 13th of last month, the slot manager, who faced Oliver and the assistant referee on the ground on the day Liverpool drew 2-2 after a bloody battle in the Merseyside derby against Everton, received a red card. Coach Slot was banned from two games and fined 70,000 pounds (about 130 million won) on the 4th (Korea time) after deliberation by the independent committee of the FA for inappropriate behavior and insulting abuse and words to both the referee and the assistant referee.
The chaos began when Everton's James Tarkowski, who was trailing 1-2 at the time, scored a dramatic equalizer in the second half of extra time and was recognized after a VAR decision. Liverpool insisted that the goal should not be recognized because Everton striker Beto committed a foul pushing Liverpool defender Conate during the build-up, but the referee refused to accept it. Everton midfielder Doucoure clashed with Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones after his ceremonial provocation in front of an away Liverpool fan after the game and both players were sent off for a second yellow card. In the process, Slot coach and head coach Sipke Hulshof also approached referee Oliver to protest and received a red card

The FA also said the slot coach turned to referee Oliver and said, `Give them everything!He claimed that he said "and "I hope you're proud of the performance you've done.'
Slot admitted he was frustrated in the end because he felt his behaviour was unacceptable and that certain decisions were unfavorable. The initial fine of £100,000 was reduced to £70,000, citing Slot's apology and quick admission of the charges and no history of misconduct.
Ahead of Liverpool's first leg of the European Champions League round of 16 away to Paris Saint-Germain (5 a.m. on the 6th), the slot manager said, `The moment it happened, I was quite emotional about everything that happened on the field.' `I decided to stay calm and leave the field instead of talking with referee Oliver. Now that I don't have that feeling, I have to set a better example.' Coach Hulshof was also banned from playing in two games and fined 7,000 pounds (about 13 million won) for approaching referee Oliver in a very aggressive way. Both Liverpool and Everton clubs were warned of failing to manage their players to avoid inappropriate or provocative actions.
Slots that have been banned from playing two touchline games are expected to be able to return after the A-match break. Liverpool is set for the second leg of the European Champions League round of 16 against Paris Saint-Germain on the 12th and the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on the 17th. It will face Everton and Anfield again in question in the 30th round of the league to be held on the 3rd of next month, shortly after the A-match break.
