Jota's tribute ceremony
Slott: "This tragedy affected us, but it had a deeper impact on his wife, children and parents. The tribute activity is full of true feelings and touching."
Nuñez?
Slot: "As you know, we never discuss players who are not our team. I can talk about Ekitic who just signed. We are very satisfied with the current lineup. Although some players left the team, new players have joined and young players have performed well. Nunes may leave, but has not signed yet. It will take a few days to settle."
New central defender candidate
Slot: "The current players are fully qualified for this position. You have ignored Joe Gomez. Unfortunately, he is currently suffering from a minor injury but is about to return to the team. I am very satisfied with the current players. We have many candidates available for this position."
Community Shield
Slot: "It would be better if we can start the new season with the championship. We will have an opportunity at the beginning of the season, but we have to face the tricky Crystal Palace. They have proved , other teams want to decide the outcome in a single game on them. "
Last Wembley
Slott: "No need to look back at the past, Newcastle's tactical system is different. But their playing style may be similar to Crystal Palace: each free kick on the opponent tries to enter our penalty area, and its set ball is extremely threatening. The tactics of the two teams may have common features. On Sunday's game, a goal will be priceless."
Ngumoha
Slott: "You can't predict how newcomers deal with pressure. Last year, 17-year-old Nioni broke the Sevilla goal. It is rare for them to train side by side with Van Dijk and Salah every day. We strive to train newcomers and take care of them. New players have experienced the high-intensity training rhythm here. Ngumoha and Nioni have both ushered in a good start."
Crystal Palace
Slott: "Quick counterattack, set-piece tactics, direct links to Matthat and personal ability of the front line are their weapons. Previously, the matches with Biba, AC Milan and Yokohama Mariners have been fully trained. Crystal Palace has continued its good momentum, and the core team has not changed. This is an excellent challenge for us to start the new season."
Slott: "Although players left the team, new players have injected new qualities. They need to adapt to the system, and we must be familiar with them. The training camps around are effective, but fortunately there are no international competitions this summer, which is gratifying."
Deepness of the front line
Slott: "The definition of the 'senior player' you are talking about is unknown: is it divided by the identity of the international player or age? Ngumoha has proven to have an impact. The existing attack group is strong enough: Garkepo, Chiesa, Ekitic, Salah, Wilz, and Flynnon are all available. Of course, we are still looking for opportunities in the transfer market. "
Flynnon
Slotte: "We did consider the impact of the African Cup. Part of the reason for introducing Flynnon is that he can be the right winger. Even though Salah missed at most six games, this is a long vacancy in the Premier League schedule. Flynnon can play in this position, but he is not the only option."
Macalist
Slotte: "He will be on the roster. He has been absent for two months or even longer, and has now trained with the team and played 30 and 45 minutes of games. The possibility of starting is there, but he cannot play for the full 90 minutes."
